Interesting difference. I'm setting up this Power PC based MacMini to be a secondary MythTV backend server. My x86 backend server agrees with you: <x86> Sector9 ~ # slocate loadkeys /usr/share/man/man1/loadkeys.1.bz2 /bin/loadkeys Sector9 ~ # <ppc> MacMini ~ # slocate loadkeys /usr/bin/loadkeys /usr/share/man/man1/loadkeys.1.bz2 MacMini ~ # That file seems to be supplied by kbd: MacMini ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/loadkeys [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/loadkeys in *... ] sys-apps/kbd-1.14.1-r1 (/usr/bin/loadkeys) MacMini ~ # However the keymaps initscript comes from baselayout?

I thought the one I posted had more info. Anyway, I see the older version is in portage so I suppose I should jsut go back to that for now?
