switch from ADB to linux keycodes ...
just made the switch to linux keycodes on my Pismo running woody with
benh's rsync kernel. i've got the "keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1" thing
in the append line of my yaboot.conf, and i've got "powerpcps2" in my
XF86Config-4, so for the most part keys work, both in console mode and in
X.
but! "alt" is now the option key instead of the command key...
searching the archive of this list, i see mentions of this fact, including
someone saying it's easy to switch that back. but they didn't say *how*
to do so, only that it's easy...
am i correct in assuming that /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz is the keymap
that's actually being used, so if i make changes to that, my changes will
persist through a reboot?
what do i need to change in that file to make the command key be alt
again?
how come the keycodes in that file don't line up with the keycodes shown
in xev?
oh, and on the subject of the keyboard, is it still the case that there's
no way to make Pismo's caps-lock key be control? i see that in xev,
pressing the caps-lock key sends a KeyPress event immediately followed by
a KeyRelease event, and then release sends nothing; and then the next
press sends nothing, and release sends KeyPress immediately followed by
KeyRelease. is this due to the actual hardware of the keyboard? so there
will never be a fix for it?
thanks!
