Re: german keymap for old iBook

Hi!
I'm using debian unstable on an old Apple iBook computer (it's an
iBook tangerine from the first series of iBooks) and am looking for a
working german keymap. I do not use X, I need a keymap for the
console. Does anyone here have a clue of where to get this? All the
ones I've found are either not working or have some keys missing,
which are crucial to me, like ~, |, \ and so on. It'd be nice if the
keymap was largely the same as Mac OS 9.2.1 has (although this
keymapping is quite stupid, it has @ on Alt-l, and ~ is a deadkey
produced with Alt-n and then space).
I'm currently running a linux 2.4.15-pre6-ben0 kernel without
ADBRAWCODES.
Hello Sebastian,
are you running console tools?
I had a similiar problem with my iBook (blueberry, rev A, unstable, 2.2
kernel).
The whole keymap was messed up after installing console tools.
The only way to log in was to ssh the machine.
The standard mac-de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz is doing fine for me though.
Another problem I'd also like to solve, is that the kernel does not
regard the settings concerning the Fn-Key, which I think are stored in
the nvram, as booting linux always also changes this setting in Mac
OS.
Also, console-switching does not work using Command-Fx, even
Command-Fn-Fx does not work, it only works with ADB raw keycodes, but
the console-tools package says, I should not use ADB rawcodes.
I have no problems switching consoles with Fn - apple - (F1-F7), the old
2.2 kernel though.
Perhaps you should install kbd instead of console-tools and enable
raw-keycodes in your kernel then?
I remember that when playing with 2.4 kernels I had strange errors
without raw-keycodes enabled.
I'd strongly appreciate any help from this list, as it would save me a
lot of work creating my own keymap and figuring all that stuff out, I
guess there must be some other users having the same problems here.
TIA
