Re: What are the optimum keymap... ??

2003-01-03 Thread Stefano Barale
Hello Willy and Jorge, it's a few days I'm trying to adjust my iBook too: when I installed Debian on my iBook2 a friend of mine set up the xmodmap for me. That gave me a working keyboard under X, but not on console. Reading http://www.hispalinux.es/~data/ibook/t1.html inspired me a solution for the

Hello list, I'm trying to mirror my iBook2 video for presentation (Debian testing/unstable, 3.0r1, Kernel 2.4.18-newpmac). Downloaded m3mirror from Benh's page. With the FB device I get a 60Hz image that flickers a lot. If I try to "upgrade" to 75Hz I get a melange of colours... if I open a shell I
