Hi, I just bought an Apple PowerBook G4 12" and successfully installed sid on it, I would love to show it in the ports section of the debian booth this year. However, this is my first and only notebook so I would have to use it from time to time (probably even take it with me for some time). Additionally, I am a LinuxTag Supporter so I won't be able to be there all the time to watch the PowerBook.. I'll try to leave it at the booth though if you watch it for me :)
Things that aren't working yet: - Nvidia doesn't have a driver for ppc so bzflag and 3D stuff isn't so much fun - no power management - with 2.4.20-benh10 the console is limited to 80x30 chars and isn't propperly redrawing here either - Airport Extreme (that is 802.11g, 54Mbit/s WLAN) card has no drivers for that reason I don't have one - external monitor (vga, tv-adapter) I'll install patches, improvements and additional drivers if/when available. Things I got working: - Sound - X - DVD playback works pretty fine, some stutteringly sometimes (same goes for divx and stuff) -- we should need some css-free dvd, probably some trailer thing.. Things I couldn't test: - FireWire (is told to be working but I don't have any devices yet) - BlueTooth (same goes for this one) Tell me what you think, what I should add, install..
