I just bought an ibook 700Mhz/14" LCD. So far, I succeeded in installing debian in dual boot with Mac OS X, and it runs pretty well :-)
Several remaining problems anyway : _ I read pmud's manual : is it right that sleep mode for ibook 700Mhz is not supported ? It's not clear in the manual, but the /etc/power/pwrctl script say so. Can anybody confirm ? _ DRI : the dri module is loaded (thanks to src from http://www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/). Glxinfo reports dri is ok : ... direct rendering: Yes ... But any GL app freezes X (I use Xfree4.2 from http://people.debian.org/~branden/) Someone with more luck than me ? _ I has a problem of kernel compil : (benh-ibook-2.4.20-pre4-ben0) A non existent symbol in the compil of sunrpc. Is this problem already reported ? unresolved symbol local_flush_tlb_page A grep on the kernel src tree shows the definition of this symbol in include/asm-ppc/pgtable.h, if it can help ... _ Very disturbing problem of clock syncronising between OS X and Linux, already reported in the mailing list. But I have not seen a solution. Help ? If you have any information on the previous problems, thank you in advance. If not, thank you for you reading :-) Pierre P.S : sorry for the wrong post on debian-ports :-( Bad finger !
