Hello,
I am new to this port; please be gentle.
I just got my new shining pbook 15", installed sarge on it using pre-rc2
debian installer, and most of the things worked just fine out of box,
which impressed me a lot. Great work!
However there are few things that don't work for me.
1. Sleep. When I close lid, backlight turns off, if I reopen it right
away, it will turn back on as expected, however if I wait for few
minutes, and then open the lid, pbook won't wake up. I've seen quite a
few messages on the list saying that sleep does not work, so I suppose
that's expected behaviour.
2. AirPort (as expected)
3. Keyboard is screwed up. Apple button does not work. Ctrl and Alt
*usually* work as expected, but not quite always. For instance Ctrl-Tab
switches Apps in KDE (instead of Alt-Tab) and Alt-Tab switches desktops
(instead of apple-tab). More important Ctrl-E has some bizzare behaviour
of putting current window underneath all windows, without loosing focus
(!), second Ctrl-E brings window back upfront. That is really confusing,
especially for emacs user, like me. I don't quite understand who
interferes, here is what I get with xev on Ctrl-E:

I am running stock debian 2.6.8-powerpc kernel, pbbuttonsd, cpufreqd. My
XF86Config-4 keyboard section reads:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
