Xpmac can not handle the symbols files, just replace the systemwide Xmodmap:


- Install XF86_fbdev
- configure it for your language
- run this command:
xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.txt
- copy that file to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap
- install xpmac.rpm
- replace the link /var/X11R6/bin/X and point it to Xpmac instead of
  XF86_FBDev
- startx

It appears that the -vmode option doesn't work all time, use a kernel
argument like that:
video=atyfb:vmode:17:cmode:16
to switcht to 1024x768-75 and 16 bit color depth. See man nvvideo for
more infos.

If you use a newer kernel (2.2.16 and later) you have to create a
symlink /dev/usbmouse -> /dev/input/mice to keep the ps/2 protocol for
both ADB and USB in the new input layer.
