Hi! I'm not currently subscribed to this list due to not haveing an Internet connection at home, so please CC to me. Thanks.
I'm having a few problems with Debian 2.2 powerpc. I have it installed on a Powerbook G3 500 Firewire. It runs quite nicely, except for a few things. This is the first time I've run Debian an a non-i386 machine, so please bear with me and enlighten me if I say something stupid. 1. I can't get the modem to work. dmesg says that the kernel does find the cobalt modem at /dev/tty00, irq 22, port some hex number. A "setserial /dev/ttyS0" finds the same thing, with an unknown UART. "cat /proc/tty/drivers" give a list of the ttys with the following line: unknown /dev/ttyS 4 64-68 serial or something like that. (I should have written it down...) But whenever I run minicom, it says that "/dev/ttyS0: file or directory does not exist". But the nodes are there in /dev. So I'm at a lost. Any help would be appreciated. 2. IR port. The answer to 1. will probably help here, too. I need to find out about the hardware for the IR port. I'm guessing that it uses the IrCOMM protocal, since the macserial driver finds the port. Is there any other information that I should know? There was some problem with one of the IrDA packages. I couldn't remove it or configure it... 3. Getting a USB mouse working under 2.2. Pointing anything to /dev/usbmouse doesn't get anything. Anything special that I should do? Thanks in advance for any help.
