Hi all! After 2 nights of merging patches and recompiling stuff, I managed to have my iBook3 (800MHz, 12", 640M RAM, Combo, Airport) to run debian, XWindow, and Aiport perfectly.
The only bug remaining (and I saw on the lists benh was working on it) is the sleep mode that kills the machine. I have tried to use pmud -k for this yesterday. The procedure : 1 - install woody the normal way (ie branden's way) 2 - add the dri trunk packages to sources.list (url from www.apt-get-org) (don't forget to untar the files in /usr/src after it was installed) 3 - Get a VERY recent kernel for benh in the bitkeeper tree ( thanks to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] guys for this), the rsync one is not sufficient. 4 - optionnaly get from airsnort.shmoo.com a 0.11b orinoco driver which you can patch for monitor mode, include in drivers/net/wireless 5 - apt-get install kernel-package ; cd /usr/src/linuxppc_2_4_benh 6 - make-kpkg --revision=iBook3v5wifi kernel-image modules-image 7 - Install the debs ( may need --force-overwrite for the drm ones) 8 - put append="video=radeon hdb=ide-scsi" in yaboot.conf, and run ybin Reboot and enjoy! Voila, I hope it covers some interogations from users like me. If you want more info about the procedure I used, email me or post on the list, it's good for the archives. I uploaded .deb binaries on my idisk (login : thinko), If the files prove to be interesting, tell me and I will bug squash them, make a better .config for preventing overlay of modules, and we may mirror it somewhere. Anyway this iBook is a Wonderful linux machine ( faster than my athlon 1G on gentoo) It runs glxgears @ 1000fps in 16b mode and supports agp 2x ( and 3hours long bzflag sessions ;) Cheers Lucas
