Hi,
This is some feedback on the latest distribution when using my PowerBook 1999. Kernel: I am still using 2.2.15pre20. This is because today's rsync tree, that I compiled as usual, does recognize the InfraRed on /dev/ttyS1 (I can see it with ifconfig), but it does not recognize the modem on /dev/ttyS0. gpm: when installing the package, the configurator should be triggered in order to chose the device etc. The given setting is /dev/ttyS1 (the InfraRed!). When triggering gpmconfig by hand, ttyS1 is skipped immediately, but /dev/adbmouse is still not recognized. I had to set it by hand. pmud: again, great work! gkrellm: it is still version 0.9.8-2. We need >= 0.9.9 in order to install Joseph's new pmu plugin (that must be inserted in woody). I am updating the Modem and DNS sections of my (1999) PowerBook page at http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~sb/PowerBook.html, and I would like you to give it a try. The settings work for me, but there is always space for improvement. In particular, on the Modem section, it is not yet clear how to use wvdial as non-root, possibly via gkrellm. Furthermore, it all works only if you ``ifconfig eth0 down''. ppp should temporarily take the control, but it does not. Concerning the Domain Name Server, I am still wondering about the way of setting the IPs automatically. The instructions are in draft form, so let me know if you have difficulties in following them. Thanks, Sergio
