Well, I have no idea what's going on for you, but I can tell you that Ben, Olaf and me are working on a keyboard patch for 2.2.17 that will make us mostly compatible with the usual PC keymaps for X. The kludges (MEDIUMRAW/keymap) for PPC in XF4 will hopefully go away in 4.01, but definetly in 4.02 then. Keep an eye on the linux-pmac-benh tree during the next week. The whole thing already works fine for me with USB/ADB keyboards in "new" mode with a clean XF4, I'm currently working on the backwards compatibility stuff for xpmac.
