>Description:
xf86cfg does not work, since the keyboard is handled incorrectly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run xf86cfg on macppc; note the following in /var/log/XFree86.8.log:

Fatal server error:
can't switch keyboard to raw mode. Enable support for it in the kernel
or use for example:

Option "Protocol" "wskbd"
Option "Device" "/dev/wskbd0"

in your XF86Config(5) file


>Fix:
The above two lines should be in the config file that xf86cfg uses
on NetBSD by default, or at least in the macppc port.
