Where did you get them from? It's been so long, I don't remember where I got mine from originally, but at the following 2 addresses you should find all you need: Etienne Herlent maintains the FAQ of news://fr.comp.os.unix.mac and some related material, see http://perso.easynet.fr/~eherlent/linuxmac.html, and there are infos in http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/ They even have put all necessary changes and files into an RPM. > > The only problem are those 2 swapped keys "@#" vs "<>". > > For the record, with ADB keycodes, all keys are OK in MOL _except_ those > two swapped keys.

Anybody can explain this? I can't explain, I just use it and it works. Anyway, with the new LinuxPPC distribution that is leaving its egg right now, we shall all soon be converted to linux keycodes, I guss :-) -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
