Apple Files Motion to Dismiss Psystar's Florida Case; Alternatively to Transfer Case to California
Apple has filed a motion to dismiss Psystar's litigation in Florida, or in the alternative to transfer it to the Northern District of California, where its so-far successful litigation against Psystar is taking place and consolidate it there. It requests a 30-minute hearing on its motion.
You'll recall that Apple told the California court that it would be filing this motion before Thanksgiving, and it now has. It has asked the California court to issue a permanent injunction against Psystar, and it would like it to cover all versions of Apple's Mac OSX software, including Snow Leopard, which is what the Florida case is supposedly about. If the Florida case is sent to California, that would ensure that any injunction would cover the entire enchilada.
Apple tells the court that Psystar is losing like crazy in California, and the Florida filing is Psystar forum shopping so it can attempt to relitigate issues it is losing or has already lost in the California action.

AKBD(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   AKBD(4)

NAME

     akbd -- Apple Desktop Bus keyboard driver for wscons

SYNOPSIS

     akbd* at obio?
     wskbd* at akbd? console ?

     options ALTXBUTTONS
     options CAPS_IS_CONTROL
     options FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS

DESCRIPTION

     This driver provides the wscons(4) driver with support for Apple Desktop Bus keyboards.

     To work around the limited number of buttons found on most ADB mice, one can map key sequences to trigger mouse button events.  To map
     Option+1, Option+2, Option+3 to mouse buttons 1, 2, and 3 respectively, add the following line to your kernel configuration file:

     options ALTXBUTTONS

     On macppc systems it is possible to tweak the keyboard driver to treat the caps lock key on an ADB keyboard as a control key.  This requires
     special remapping because of ADB's strange emulation of a mechanically-locked key.  To enable this code add the following line to your kernel
     configuration file:

     options CAPS_IS_CONTROL

     On macppc PowerBooks, several function keys double as "hot keys" (brightness, volume, eject) when the Fn modifier is held down.  Mac OS X
     likes to reprogram the keyboard controller to send hot key events when Fn is not held down and send function key events when it is.  To
     transform the non-keyboard "button" events back into function key events, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

     options FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

     NetBSD is known to support the following ADB keyboards:

	   o   On-board keyboards on PowerBook models

	   o   Apple Standard Keyboard

	   o   Apple Keyboard II

	   o   Apple Extended Keyboard

	   o   Apple Extended Keyboard II

	   o   Apple Adjustable Keyboard

	   o   Most third-party ADB keyboards are supported

BUGS

     The number pad on extended keyboards does not send out the proper key codes for many applications.

     The LEDs on extended keyboards are not functional under NetBSD.
