This is the XF86Config-4 file I found which works a treat.
Yes, mine is a revA iMac, 233MHz and 96MB of awesome power, all in a 
cute little case, bless.
I only changed the keyboard locale from the file online.


Debian stable is a bit like going back in time though... I'll have to 
work out how to use "modern" Debian.

But all the configuring I've done has required the keyboard, no GUIs 
until I got X working just now. Though I will also be looking for 
el-cheapo USB mouse.
