Hmm ;) No SVGA here. We have XFB_Dev and this is slow, yes. There is xpmac.rpm on the CD, but it is a mess to use international keyboards.
IIRC more or less all it took to set up Xpmac to use a swiss german keyboard under linuxppc was the following wrapper script: (I wrote it in Perl to be able to make it SUID - which I don't really need anymore, since at some time Xwrapper seems to have started to work correctly) #!/usr/bin/perl -w exec '/usr/X11/bin/Xpmac', '-kbdtype', "de_CH(extended)", '-middlekey', '300', '-rightkey', '300', '-nooptionmouse'; The -middlekey 300 -rightkey 300 arguments are workarounds to switch off the option-2/3-key mouse button emulation which would interfere with the '³' and '#' chars on the swiss keyboard. (There is still the button emulation leftoption-click=middle button,rightoption-click=right button, I don't know where this comes from.) I have also edited the keymap file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/de_CH to remap some keys (e.g. I've placed the / key to the usual US keyboard position :-). You can find my map on ftp://testwww.ethz.ch/de_CH . I originally got it from Lukas Karrer, http://www.trash.net/~lkarrer/linux/de_CH-kbd . On the linuxppc-user mailing list has been some discussion about a wrapper script for Xpmac that parses a configuration file similar to XFree86. Christian-.
