I looked and I'm using valkyriefb. I did some more searching, and it appears that the problem is that I am using a 2.2 kernel instead of 2.4. I tried to install a 2.4 kernel, but I ran into some keyboard issues. I know the keymap has been changed in woody to use Linux keycodes, but I was running woody previously with the 2.2 kernel. I was also already using Linux keycodes in my 2.2 kernel. The 2.4 kernel that I installed (apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.12-powerpc) is trying to use ADB codes. Does anyone know how to switch this to Linux codes without a kernel recompile? I tried setting the kernel option "keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1", but that didn't work.
