SuSE Linux PowerPC: Version 6.4,7.0
The newer PowerMacs were shipped with ATI Rage128 and Mach64 cards. These chipsets are supported with XFree86 4.0.1 and later. Xpmac is not needed on these chipsets.
Follow these steps to install Xpmac with international keymap support:
Install the package xpmac.rpm from the series xsrv.
Install the XFree86 3.3.6 framebuffer server and make sure the correct
keymap is active. (This is easily done by running SaX and using fbdev for the X server.)
Write the active keymap to a file:
xmodmap -pke > xmodmapEdit the file xmodmap and change one line at the end of the file:
keycode 131 = Shift_Lcopy the file xmodmap to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap
rm XReplace the symlink X with this command:
ln -sfvb /usr/X11R6/bin/Xpmac XXpmac will be activated with the next restart of X.
If you use the kernel version 2.2.16 and later the new input layer is active. This requires a change to the mouse device:
cd /dev rm usbmouse ln -sfv input/mice usbmouseThat is also needed for ADB mice.
