Thanks, that worked like a charm.

I am now able, once more, to run MOL on my Pismo. However, since installing
the Halloween update to LinuxPPC, I have been setting
/proc/sys/dev/mac-hid/keyboard-sends-linux-keycodes (or whatever the path
is!) to 1. This means that the keyboard is messed up in Mol. I am
reluctant to go back to Mac keycodes for linux. It was pretty tough
to get the Halloween update to work correctly, and I don't want to mess
with it.

I think this is an issue that will only get worse, unless Mol is revised to
detect whether linux keycodes are enabled, and if so, then translate back
to Mac keycodes.

Also, in console mode, I have no mouse. What is the correct protocol for
the mouse in molrc, if I am using the new input layerr? For XFree864 I have
the protocal set to IMPS2.

Thanks in advance,
David Wagner
