there should be something like /boot/config-2.4.27-powerpc on your machine which you can check for aforementioned CONFIG_*. i did not use 2.4 kernels on my machine since beginning 2004, you might try to install kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc. > | you should see some output when you "cat < /dev/input/mice" and move > | your finger on the trackpad. > > Yeah I tried this on a lot of different devices and I had no luck :(. then it really looks like a kernel (or not-loaded-driver) problem. > | > I've looked around on the web and most of the pages about installing > | > linux > | > on powerbooks are pretty old.
