Seems that a x86-user wrote that file ;-) If you're a ppc-user and have use of third options on the keyboard, the load of windowkeys.inc mess it up. The keycode 125 is for the Apple-Key, but most will use it as third option key (with remapping it to AltGr). I suggest to delete the loading of windowkeys.inc in /etc/init.d/keymaps
Please attach your /atc/init.d/keymaps
Created attachment 9167 [details] loading ibook-altgr keymap Actually I wrote a small ibook-altgr keymap file, that I will load in /etc/init.d/keymaps in stead of windowkeys.inc The ibook-altgr is added in the next attachment. But this would not be a good solution for every gentoo-user. The best thing would be a further variable like KEYBOARD_TYPE where one can set his keyboard-type (101/104/105/ibook etc.). Relating to the this, the settings in /etc/init.d/keymaps would be done.

Ok, I updated keymaps to look like below. You can just add to /etc/rc.conf: EXTENDED_KEYMAP="ibook-altgr" It will be fixed in the next unstable baselayout. --------------------- /etc/init.d/keymaps ----------------------------- #!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2003 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/init.d/keymaps,v 1.15 2003/01/21 22:05:07 azarah Exp $ depend() { need localmount } checkconfig() { if [ -z "${KEYMAP}" ] then eerror "You need to setup \$KEYMAP in /etc/rc.conf first" return 1 fi } start() { checkconfig || return 1 # Force linux keycodes for PPC ... if [ -f /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes ] then echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes fi ebegin "Loading key mappings" # Enable unicode ... set -- ${KEYMAP} if [ "$1" = "-u" ] then /usr/bin/kbd_mode -u fi # New kbd support ... if [ -x /bin/loadkeys ] then [ -z "${EXTENDED_KEYMAP}" ] && local EXTENDED_KEYMAP="windowkeys" /bin/loadkeys -q ${EXTENDED_KEYMAP} ${KEYMAP} >/dev/null # Old console-tools support ... elif [ -x /usr/bin/loadkeys ] then [ -z "${EXTENDED_KEYMAP}" ] && local EXTENDED_KEYMAP="windowkeys.inc" /usr/bin/loadkeys -q ${EXTENDED_KEYMAP} ${KEYMAP} >/dev/null else eend 1 "loadkeys executable not found" return 1 fi eend $?
