After switching to Linux keycodes (and Debian's i386 us keymap), the left
cursor key doesn't generate a keycode anymore. Interestingly, it works in
X with Xkb, but not without.

Anyone else sees this?
Check the dev and user archives, I think this has been discussed a
few times since the new input layer backport went in.
I'll do that. I checked Franz's pages on the input layer on PPC and didn't
find anything there.

However, invoking xmon once X (at least Xpmac 10) is running
will result in a microscopic xmon text session replicated 4 times
across the screen (even if you switch back to a text VT first).
This also happens with XFree86, it's because xmon assumes an 8 bit display - I
guess you are running X in 32 bpp? :)

F13 (keycode 0x69) works for me as MagicSysRq (ADB keyboard, kernels
2.2.x or 2.4.0-x).
Ah, well no F13 or equiv. combo on a Pismo. Grepping through
the sources it doesn't appear there is any bootparm or /proc
entry to change it...
Would be handy though.
So changing it to 0x6f in /arc/ppc/kernel/pmac_setup.c and rebuilding it
should give you F12 instead.
I use that for the right mouse button emu, will it work nonetheless?

Thanks for the tip!
