Check my installation guide for iBook 2.2 and you will see that everything is
working here. iBook G4 is having a bit of troubles, but it will get there,
eventually.
On the other hand, I have some new and old Thinkpads that have the same
problems with supported and unsupported hardware. See, for instance, the
problems with working wireless cards.

My 3D drivers for iBook 2.2 work fine. And flash, from my point of view,
sucks. Does not work on lynx.
And non-free sucks even more. It is like admiting that close source drivers
for ATI cards are good enough. Then they dont work on your iBook and people
complain.
