Obviously on the Powerbook G4 laptop there is a keyboard. I am at
a loss as to what to do.
Any suggedstions?
Open office support say it is a problem with X Darwin.

    The problem is the XFree86 4.3.0 is not supported on Panther. You need
    to download and install XFree86 4.4.0.

    Apparently xDarwin does not work in panther on powerbooks... there is a
    link from the osxgnu website to a patch for a required patch for
    powerbooks, the problem that is that links on the site don't work or the
    files don't exist on any of the mirrors. You can check back at osxgnu.org
    to see if the file is there yet.
