I can now use the option keys as modifiers for the keyboard under XF68_FBDev, and this in both R4 and pre-R5. This was in fact a problem of my configuration, so it seems I did not read enough documentation (or maybe there isn't enough, hint, hint :-)).

XF68_FBDev should say something about "System: xkb bra bra > bra ..." to stderr but nothing else about xkb. There was, in fact, an error message that I neglected. It came from the line xkb_symbols { include "symbols/macintosh" }; in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/macintosh. I did not know that this had to be changed. I think this is a bug, it should be "symbols/macintosh/us" in the standard distribution, and it is now "symbols/macintosh/fr" for me, and this makes my French keyboard work in XF68_FBDev just as it had been working in XPmac all the time. If I don't set XkbKeymap "macintosh" in XF86Config, or if there is an error as above, then XF68_FBDev uses the console keymap, but apparently only incompletely, without the options keys as modifiers. My two other problems persist: No mouse buttons 2&3 in XF68_FBDev (and no, adb_buttons=1 in the boot command line is no solution!), neither in R4 nor in pre-R5; and mixed-up color palette in XPmac in pre-R5. The latter problem would, of course, lose its importance if the former were solved. -- Martin [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
