I am writing this on my freshly installed, Sid-based iBook. You might recall my recent laments regarding 3D acceleration on my Rage128 card...
I *finally* got everything working right! The secret? Search OLD debian lists... as my ibook came out during the time of the potato release. (very first white ibook) Turns out, I had to disable agpgart.o (someone had me enable it... perhaps it's needed for a newer ibook, but not mine) had to load the r128.o module, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to make sure the modules were right... and run at 16bit color. (The last took me a LONG time to discover, but it was the final piece to the puzzle) I will also add that Sid is VERY stable for me, and the newer packages (ie mozilla) are really nice!!!! Could I possibly send an email without a question? Perhaps, but not this one. :) Is there a big advantage to using ALSA vs OSS? I'm currently using OSS, but read ALSA may be worth the hassle to configure, as it is more CPU friendly... Any thoughts? I hope you all have a Happy New Year!!!!! -Shawn -- Shawn Powers Technology Director Inland Lakes Schools PHN: 231-238-6868 ext 9174 FAX: 509-356-7024 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
