Hello, I set up Woody on my 9600/300 this weekend. No Problems during the, Open Firmware boots linux without complaints. But (there always is a but) two issues are still bugging me: 1) Where is the keyboard mapping for the console specified? I would like to map the right alt key to act as the AltGr key. I can't type the tilde, pipe or at symbols (~ | @) witout it (it's a german qwertz keyboard). Also is there a was to emulate the second and thord mouse button using gpm? 2) X starts using the fbdev driver (imstt doesn't work). The problem is every couple of pixels a line is shifted to the left. The shifted lines even wrap around to the right, if the offset takes them beyond the left border of the screen. That happens with wdm, xdm, twm and WindowMaker, so I guess it is a xserver issue. Setting UseFBDev to false makes no difference. Changing the depth doesn't make the problem go away, it only changes the length of the offset and the distance between the shifted lines. All listed resolutions work (all display the strange behavior). I put up a couple of photos that illustrate the problem online here: http://vinais.home-in-the.net/ppc/ Here are the sections I think are relevant from my XF86Config-4: Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "vbe" Load "xie" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Generic Video Card" Driver "fbdev" Option "UseFBDev" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Formac ProNitron 17 400" HorizSync 31-82 VertRefresh 50-110 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Generic Video Card" Monitor "Formac ProNitron 17 400" DefaultDepth 8 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection I have "800x600" and "640x480" as alternative resolution listed as well, I deleted them here so the lines don't get to long. Any pointers are greatly appreciated! I would really love to have this machine doing something again! It's been sitting around with MacOS not getting used for so long.
