Interesting difference. I'm setting up this Power PC based MacMini to |
| 20 |
be a secondary MythTV backend server. My x86 backend server agrees |
| 21 |
with you: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
<x86> |
| 24 |
Sector9 ~ # slocate loadkeys |
| 25 |
/usr/share/man/man1/loadkeys.1.bz2 |
| 26 |
/bin/loadkeys |
| 27 |
Sector9 ~ # |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
<ppc> |
| 30 |
MacMini ~ # slocate loadkeys |
| 31 |
/usr/bin/loadkeys |
| 32 |
/usr/share/man/man1/loadkeys.1.bz2 |
| 33 |
MacMini ~ # |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
That file seems to be supplied by kbd: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
MacMini ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/loadkeys |
| 38 |
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/loadkeys in *... ] |

sys-apps/kbd-1.14.1-r1 (/usr/bin/loadkeys) |
| 40 |
MacMini ~ # |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
However the keymaps initscript comes from baselayout? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
MacMini ~ # equery belongs /etc/init.d/keymaps |
| 45 |
[ Searching for file(s) /etc/init.d/keymaps in *... ] |

It seems that my current mythbackend machine has an older kbd package: |
| 50 |
Sector9 ~ # emerge -pv baselayout kbd |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |

Actually I should/could have posted that but it seemed to me it didn't |
| 81 |
say much of anything. I thought the one I posted had more info. |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Anyway, I see the older version is in portage so I suppose I should |
| 84 |
jsut go back to that for now? |
