Subject: [gentoo-user] Problem with alt-key on Apple iBook
Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 13:18:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D8E1F7F1-A01A-4706-8450-57695467D7FC@ruderich.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to install gentoo on my Apple iBook G4. I loaded the  
correct keymap for my keyboard with "loadkeys de-latin1". Most of the  
keys are working correctly.
My problem is now that some characters (like the curly brace) can  
only be typed by using the alt-key. But if I press the alt-key and 8  
for example then the console changes from this:
livecd root #
To this:
(arg: 8)
And I don't know what this means.
Is there anything I can do to get the alt-key working?

Thanks in advance.
Simon
