keybord frozen...?!

[junior]

I've installed gentoo 1.2 for ppc on my PowerBook G4.
Then i installed gnome. It tooks a LITTLE while to compile but, so far so god . Finally i've done a reboot, everything went normal until i have to login. The prompt appears correct, but the keybord seems to be frozen.
I haven't got a clue if this is related to the gnome installation, however it's they way that the problem shows up.

sombody got an idea?

hey junior

make sure that you have unselected the 'raw adb codes' option in your kernel configurtaion (which is on by default in ppc kernels), or pass as a yaboot arg "keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1" (no quotes).

from the mialing list:

Here is a copy of an email from an earlier thread (from Joe M):

--------------------------------------------------------------------

When you rebuild your kernel (and you probably want to, really), set
things up like this:

in "Input core support": (these are the defaults, but check them)
<*> Input core support
<*> Keyboard support
<*> Mouse support
(1024) Horizontal screen resolution
(768) Vertical screen resolution
< > Joystick support
<*> Event interface support

in "Macintosh Device Drivers":
[*] Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) support
[ ] Include MacIO (CHRP) ADB driver <- doesn't matter
[*] Use input layer for ADB devices
[ ] Support for ADB raw keycodes <- turn this OFF
[*] Support for mouse button 2+3 emulation

This way, you'll still be able to you /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid to emulate
buttons 2 and 3, but you won't have to specify
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1 at boot.
