Re: Missing (PPC) feature in KDE Control Center
I'm sure we'll hit more of these x86'isms. One way to get around the keyboard issues is to change the kernel setup to use the Linux keycodes, then we would not need special mac keyboard maps in theory, and we could use the PC keymaps. From what I hear, the other PPC distro's are moving in this direction, but I haven't had an opportunity to explore it just yet.

Missing (PPC) feature in KDE Control Center
Just thought I'd mention this since I just got SCREWED by it ... ;-) In KDE Control Center, in the section 'Personalization', subsection 'Keyboard layout' - for the menu 'keyboard model' there isn't a selection for 'macintosh' which is what the XkbModel line in my XF86Config is set to ... now mind you, I didn't need to set anything about my keyboard model, since it was working - I merely wanted to add German as a keyboard layout. Well, apparently you can't do one w/o the other, since as soon as I hit 'Apply' I was switched to PC104 keyboard which doesn't actually allow me to type anything coherent (iMac DV; Summer 2000). Solution: edit ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc and change the model back to "macintosh" - all set. I didn't file a config file for the Control Center that controlled what options that menu contained, so I'm guessing its compiled in - if I get a chance, I'll grab the src.rpm and get a patch to you. -Brice
