I will try this again- The latest Gnome runs, but any attempt to input text is hopeless. The character mapping is chaotic, at best. If I start X11 by itself (i.e., without a .xinitrc file), the keyboard maps correctly and all is well. If I start up Gnome, all is lost.
The setup: OS 10.5.5, latest fink (unstable tree), latest developer stuff, PPC G4 (PB 1.67MHz), all fink updates successfully applied. X11 2.3.1 installed. I use the recommended .xinitrc: . /sw/bin/init.sh quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec gnome-session Hint 7.3 "If you're starting XFree86 from the command line, you can pass the name of the keymapping file to load as an option, as in: startx -- -quartz -keymap USA.keymapping" doesn't work, and I don't know how to initiate keymap USA.keymapping from the .xinitrc file. Any help would be gratefully received.
