Setup: Mac IIsi 5 MB / 40 MB HD
Extended keyboard (Danish)
System 6.0.7 and MultiFinder
MacMinix 1.5.10.1
When I select my national keyboard in the Chooser and boots MacMinix, I get
a very strange behaivour when I try to login as 'root' at the login-prompt.
When I press 'o' 6-7 garbled characters appear. All the other keys works
fine. I tried to select the internal keymapping by holding down the mouse
button on boot, but that didn't work. And, when the Configuration dialog box
popped up, a piece of the box showing the boot-partion was missing. It
looked something like this (My Mac is back home):
Boot partition
+------- ---------------------+
! BOOT !
! !
+------- ---------------------+
^^^^^^^ Where's the rest of the box?
Finally I managed to log on, by selecting 'US keyboard' in the Chooser before
booting MacMinix. After login I can then re-select the danish keyboard for
use in other applications, but MacMinix keeps the US-settings. Selecting
Configuration then shows the proper dialog box.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas where to look in all that
lovely source code?
Thanks,
Jan B. Andersen
