Thanks much Chris. This will be of great help.

I don't mean to intrude into this topic, but I've ended up with a
working (ie survives repeated boots, and works on virtual terminals as
well as in X) configuration which has a slight discrepancy with your
post:

root@disorder Sun Nov 25 03:23:42 alih> zgrep 'keycode *1 =' /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
keycode   1 = Escape          
        alt     keycode   1 = Meta_Escape     
        shift   alt     keycode   1 = Meta_Escape     
root@disorder Sun Nov 25 03:23:54 alih> grep ADBKEYCODES ~alih/src/linux-2.4.10/.config
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y

But I have no 'append' line in yaboot.conf and I do not manually set
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes on the boot: command-line. I thought
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=n would set this!

If it's consistent with your post, then ignore this.

thanks,
ali

I'm an i18n newbie! ;-) And this console-data/NewInputLayer thing came
right out of nowhere for me!! :-)
