2001-05-02 Thread Mark Mentovai
Has anyone been able to come up with a solution to the missing cursor problem with yaboot? I've got a PowerBook G3 (Lombard) and am booting with yaboot, and the cursor is invisible. Supplying video=ofonly as an argument to the kernel gives a blinking block cursor, but video=ofonly is undesirable

I had the same problem. If I remember right, the keyboard configuration script loads the keymap from /usr/share/keymaps, then regenerates it in /etc/console-tools. The problem is that it is regenerated wrong: the setting for the q key is not written. Note the suspicious fact that q has
