Well, yes, but they don't say anything (to me) as best I read. Or maybe I don't understand how the folks that work in those areas talk these days. Basically it seems it's broken for ppc, the folks in that thread understand it's broken, and then what? Those comments were two months ago. I'm lost. I went back to kbd-1.13-r1and the problem is gone but then another problem appears where it cannot map character code 0 to some other value. I've lost that message for now as I start MythTV automatically and cannot get back in the console becuase of X messages but it's in the bug system somewhere. I found it earlier this morning. Anyway, I think the two sides (x86/amd64 && ppc) aren't consistently handled and that these folks know it but haven't fixed it for some reason. I only ran into it because of an update to a machine that's been gathering dust. - Mark
