Known problem. Should be fixed in 2.6.3.

Sounds like this:

Where did you get the kernel from? Is this a ppc "ported" kernel?

I'm playing with 2.6.3 now. The SWIM-3 driver is definitely fixed for
the compile portion of it (no compile errors), but I haven't actually
tried using the drive yet.

This certainly sounds similar to the problem. I'm not using Debian.
I'm using SuSE, but this would seem to affect any system running 2.6.

What I'm confused by is that there is not a CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES
option using either "make menuconfig," "make xconfig," or even "make
oldconfig. I haven't tried manually adding it yet (trying to fix
"make xconfig"; I upgraded gcc and now I need to upgrade qt as well).

If I understand Debian's site, you need to add
"CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y" to the .config file and run the compile
(yadda, yadda, yadda). Then, you need to add a boot append line
saying "keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1". Is this right?

It would seem that you need to do both. For instance, my
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid directory does not currently have a
"keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes" item in it.

Whenever QT finishes compiling (sometime tomorrow maybe...?), I'll let
you know.
