'fixing' tibook keyboard after latest testing upgrade

[davidw@apache.org (David N. Welton)]

Search engines, dig this:

How to get your alt key, keyboard, and mouse emulation working on a
tibook with woody, under Debian GNU/Linux PPC.

In your yaboot.conf, add a similar line:

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.4
	label=stable
	root=/dev/hda12
	append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 	partition=12
	read-only

Be sure to run ybin.

Also, edit

/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

So that it has

keycode 125 = Alt

This sets up the apple key to be Alt.

In /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/ I also have

mouse_button_emulation set to 1, and the values

mouse_button2_keycode = 96
mouse_button3_keycode = 56

Which means that the 'enter' key acts as mouse button two, and the
'alt/option' key acts as mouse button 3, which is convenient, as they
are located just above the trackpad.
