Hi, I just actually tried the "snooze -f" on my laptop, and it works very very fine. Thanks a lot for that.
like Christian I have an iBook Firewire (I have the one with DVD and TV ouput). pmud would need to be updated for that. The problem is how to differentiate "old" iBooks that aren't working (supposedly) and the new ones. cat /proc/cpuinfo says processor : 0 cpu : 750 temperature : 0 C clock : 466MHz revision : 34.2 bogomips : 931.11 zero pages : total 0 (0Kb) current: 0 (0Kb) hits: 0/197 (0%) machine : PowerBook2,2 motherboard : PowerBook2,2 MacRISC Power Macintosh L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 128MB pmac-generation : NewWorld Could that help making the difference ? Thanks again Christian for this invaluable access of hackery.
