The Mac keyboard driver was also all busted (quite a few half-written / missing functions), so I just wrote them like I thought they should go, and I'm typing through the keyboard right now. I think I might have also had to tweak some other part of the code (I'm thinking atyfb, but I can't remember). I can make diffs if anyone wants them; I'm sure some other people would rather like to build from Paul's unstable tree. :) I'd been using his stable tree, but for the last 3 months, I can't boot one of his stable kernels without getting a machine check somewhere in init. The unstable ones have no problems with it, although my USB mouse seems to have stopped working... (so now I'm trying to make Xpmac use some keys to emulate mouse buttons, but they seem hard-coded, so it'll be a little harder than I thought). -- Shaw Terwilliger (sterwill@io.nu) ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
