TI Strangely enough, I could only type numbers and punctuation, but not TI alphabetical characters.

Could someone please give me a hint on the right xorg TI keyboard setting in powerbooks? Hans Ekbrand: With XkbModel set to macintosh instead of macintosh_vndr xdm would not accept plain english characters (it would only accept numbers and non-english characters, i.e. the special swedish characters that I cannot type in this terminal). After further testing I can now say that both XkbModel pc105 and macintosh_vndr work fine on the Finnish keyboard of my TiBook (the umlaut problems were due to bash). Now the question arises, why change the name of the keyboard model from macintosh to macintosh_vndr, which (maybe) breaks every apple laptop on upgrade?

In fact, macintosh has not been changed into macintosh_vndr, you may try foo or bar and have the same result. Everything but macintosh means pc105 (okay, this is not strictly true, there are qome other valid models, but it does not really matter here). So the question is: why has macintosh model been changed into pc105? I do not remember exactly, there are other issues with macintosh layouts, and upstream is interested in working with debian-powerpc folks to improve the current situation, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6671 Can someone from debian-powerpc join the XKB list, so that these issues can be looked at? IIRC one needs to send a mail to xkb-subscribe at listserv.bat.ru. Thanks, and sorry for not sending this information before, I was busy at that time.
