I do see the new input layer. It does't compile, no matter how many times
I rerun menuconfig. But maybe I'm doing something wrong, don't know what.

I see those before, and yet it still fails to compile.

had that too.

ok I'm turning off sysrq and trying to recompile... If it doesn't work
I'll try to get 2.2.19

Security issues aren't important on my laptop... They're more important
on my gateway :)

lemme see first if it compiles now... argh...

        -o vmlinux
		drivers/usb/usbdrv.o: In function `emulate_raw':
		drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.text+0x906c): undefined reference to `mac_hid_keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes'
		drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.text+0x906c): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 mac_hid_keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes

One less error than before... I guess you should send me your .config :)

Where can I get 2.2.19? is the rsync place still ppc.samba.org? (and why
are the names outdated? the linux-pmac-unstable branch still lists
2.3.x... and I never know which version I'm downloading until it's almost
done and I can look into include/linux/versionh ....)

hehe. but it runs so well on my PC.. It even sped up Realplayer! (I'm
not lying!) :)

Thanks,
