I wouldn't say it's a bug because Xpmac had no problem and your original
installation was specifically talored to the likes of Xpmac in a way.
But, anyway, I'm glad to know you can finally use the option key.

Ok, in console (not in X), try "showkey".  This will show you the keycode
and such for the console mode.  Pick a key or two that you like to use to
emulate the middle and right buttons and find their keycodes in console.
With that, use the option.  For example, if you want to keycode 113 for
the middle button and keycode 115 for the right button, then
	adb_buttons=113,115
should do.  This is according to the kernel source that I got a few days
ago but I think there was a mention of this option's usage sometime ago in
linux-pmac list.

I have no clue about the palette problem.
