I recently tried (again) to upgrade my XFree86-4.0.3 to 4.1 using Stew's
kindly provided packages. There are two gotcha's that I noticed -
(1) You won't get into X at all w/ a Rage 128 PR, because the r128 driver
does not recognize this card - you need to masquerade it as a different (but
very similar) card to get it to detect your device. Insert the line:
ChipID 0x5046
in the section labeled "Device" in your /etc/X11/XF86Config and the same
config from 4.0.3 should now work in 4.1
(2) Apparently 4.1 doesn't support the XkbModel "macintosh" - maybe this
has been phased out. In any case, what you need to do in this case to have
a usable keyboard is run the following as root (I'd recommend putting it
in a startup script - /etc/rc.d/rc.local works for me :)
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
and change the line:
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
to
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
in the "InputDevice" section of your XF86Config file.
I believe this is all I needed to do to get things cooking.
HTH :)
