Subject: Keyboard problems in MOL

Dear All,
I have installed LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 on a G4 machine at work and I am
very much interested in using MOL. I believe that I've installed MOL
succesfully (at least apparently). MOL starts up fine. The only problem is
that the keyboard is all screwed! E.g. "return" is the "j" labelled key
and "BackSpace" is the "comma" labelled key!!!??? No letter or symbol
corresponds to what is actually labelled. I tried a few different
keyboard ids in molrc but the result is always the same. It almost looks
as if the keyboard id in molrc is completely ignored! The keyboard is an
Apple USB (one of those with black keys) with a portuguese layout. For X I
disabled xkb and configured it with Xmodmap (for the portuguese layout I
only needed to change a few signs - the alphanumeric keys are exactly in
the same place as in any british or us keyboard). If I enable xkb,
ignoring Xmodmap, the problem persists. It happens both with KDE or
Gnome.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Below follows what is
printed in the screen after startmol is issued.
Thanks a lot,
Daniel
