Hi,
thanks I got my mouse working again ... well at least sort of, I do
echo "1"  > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes   and
echo "1"  > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation.
Then the keyboard works with the .../i386/qwertz/de-latin-nodeadkeys.map.gz and even displays the 'Umlaute' in Emacs :-).
The mouse moves now but the buttons only work sort of. If I mark something in the console to copy it, it scrambles the underlying text (intead of highlithing it) and only the scrambeled text gets copied. For example it makes "n~3" from "not" and ASCII
code 'hex 02' from blanks ... Under X the mouse buttons behave funny aswell, instead of moving a window it looks as if it is resized, it's just that the part that is moved doesn't get drawn any more. If I do a xrefresh it turns out that the window was
indeed moved ... This is propably a more X related problem, I have compiled the X401 from the sources with Ani Joshies xfree86 tree and Franz's xf4-kbdppc4.patch.

Any sufggestions?

You mean you mark some text at console with gpm and all you get in the
selected area is garbage, even with a non psaux device?
I tried it here on a chrp machine and got the same effect, could be a
framebuffer bug. Anyone else with that problem?

I have XF4 here with kernel 2.4 and no problems at all (fbdev driver).

Right, thats it.

Well I use the tdfx_drv on my voodoo3 ... guess I forgot to mention that one :-)

Perhaps the hardware cursor? I have been experiencing hashed text problems
under the hardware cursor. I am using a fairly new pmac-stable 2.2. kernel
with my beige G3's builtin 3D rage pro (atyfb.c)

Specifically after an exit of the latest SDL library's console driver, the
text under the cursor is hashed, as is the width of the cursor (about 6-8
chars, not 1 char).

A "reset" command on the console fixes things, but nonetheless, it seems
to be similar, superficially.
