I assume you're talking about the iMac. :-)

The kernel should have the correct keymap in it when it boots (well,
correct for US and Australia anyway :-).  You just need to make sure
the init scripts don't load up a keytable for an ADB keyboard.  One
way to do this is to change the definition of KEYTABLE in
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard to something that doesn't exist, for example,
/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/usb.map.

Assuming you're using the XF68_FBDev from Geert's web page, it should
read the keytable from the kernel on startup, provided you have
XkbDisable in your /etc/XF86Config.

These days I use video=atyfb:vmode:17 and the XF86Config below and it
works great.  You can even use control command KP+ and control command
KP- to change the screen resolution.
