Re: Powerpc (mac-G4) -essentially (less) broken

Hummm.....

I set linux keycodes in yaboot.conf, and seem to have got them... but

cmtdb121:~> cat /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
cat: /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes: No such file or directory 
cmtdb121:~> ls /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid
mouse_button2_keycode  mouse_button3_keycode  mouse_button_emulation
cmtdb121:~> uname -a
Linux cmtdb121 2.4.16-powerpc #1 Wed Nov 28 15:18:00 EST 2001 ppc unknown

On the positive side, the sticking mouse has been cured. I don't know how, but it was coincident with an XFree base upgrade. The configurer asked me for the PCI slot my video card was in and I took the default. It seemed to know the rest, but it also broke the keyboard again (it changed it to using macintosh_old, probably because I'd been messing around with the config file by hand and it didn't catch up). 



The question only defaults to macintosh_old under very specific
circumstances:

db_get xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules
if [ "$RET" = "sun" ]; then
 tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "type5"
elif [ "$RET" = "xfree86" ]; then
 if [ "$ARCH" = "powerpc" ]; then
   MODEL=macintosh
   # good old-fashioned BRAIN DAMAGE
   if [ -e /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes ]; then
     if [ "$(cat /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes)" = "0" ]; then
       MODEL=macintosh_old
     fi
   fi
   tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model $MODEL
 else
   tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "pc104"
 fi
fi
validate_string_db_input xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model || debug_report_status "validate_string_db_input xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model" "$?"

Note the "BRAIN DAMAGE" part.
