On a PowerBook G4 12", I can confirm that the built-in keyboard uses
ADB. I'm running Debian SID, with an older kernel (5.5.0-2-powermac).
If you can confirm that the kernel you are using that doesn't work has
ADB compiled in, I can test it on my PB G4 12" (I'll need the .config
file for your kernel).
