'ello, [ I seem to have missed some of this thread, including a bounce of my original post (which I'm set up to receive) so I am not too clear on some of the suggestions you're referring to. Apologies to anyone I appear to be ignoring -- I don't seem to have got the mails ]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got alsa-base and alsa-utils and have set the mixers to a high volume (I've been caught out by the fact they're on 0 to start with in the past :-)). I don't think I received the mail from Elimar, so I am not exactly sure what was suggested, but I have checked that I'm in the audio group and the permissions seem sane to me. (you can find them below) I'm wondering if I am meant to follow the steps relating to ALSA on the following page: http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/powerbook.en.php I opted not to, for now, because I thought it might cause complications (the article is not describing the same computer as mine). I may try this in the future. > I think you need i2c-keywest module for this to work. I believe the > backlit keyboard is supported on all powerbooks at the moment... Hmmm, it's not currently on my system, it seems. I will probably have to recompile the kernel. When I do this I will try and fix the sound issues and the video mode it starts in (currently the text is to small to read [that's another e-mail that I don't think made it to the list...]). Is there a standard PowerBook G4 15'' 1.5GHz (PowerBook5,4) kernel .config lying around anywhere by any chance? :-) bye just now, best regards, Matthew === ALSA Permissions === oberon:~# ll -h /dev/*dsp* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/adsp -> /dev/adsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/adsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 28 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/adsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 44 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/adsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 60 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/adsp3 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9 2004-08-18 23:35 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2004-08-18 23:34 /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 2004-08-18 23:34 /dev/dsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 2004-08-18 23:34 /dev/dsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 2004-08-18 23:34 /dev/dsp3 oberon:~# I am in the audio group. -- Matthew T.
