Mac keyboards were generally dire and weird, plus I use a KVM switch to share one keyboard and monitor between my desktop machines, so I've got a regular x86 British keyboard. This has always worked ok (apart from the 101st key being not recognized - that's a kernel problem), and I normally use my own keymap [ uk-utf ] to add a lot of things and to make the compose settings for accents closer to the Xorg dead keys. With kbd-2.0 (whether compiled with or without the separate lib), loadkeys returns a status of 0 but doesn't change the keymap. Same with the shipped uk map. I've now dropped back to 1.15.5 here and my own keymap is working fine. For anyone else who wants to test this, and who has a ppc with a regular US keyboard, "loadkeys uk" ought to load the British map (double quotes on shifted 2, at-sign on shifted comma, pound (sterling) on shifted 3 instead of has-sign. And if working, "loadkeys us" ought to restore it. I repeat that this is with everything else up-to-date, maybe it still works with old toolchains, I don't know. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce
