-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I am currently getting lost configuring my kernels for my Powerbook. I wonder - is there a page that collects kernel-configs for powerbooks? Does anyone have a working or at least mostly working config for a Powerbook like mine? Or is anyone interested in creating a config together with me and share it with the world? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am running debian testing/unstable on this computer: root:/usr/src/linux # lspci 0000:00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc.

Problems I have: * no working console on local login: "respawning too fast issue" * no working suspend (okok - thats something to wait for) * no working DRI (same as suspend and not that important to me) * no working airport extreme (waiting again) ... Questions: * How to get console working again? I can login via ssh but wont get a single prompt locally. I tried google for around a month now... none of the hints helped me. * can anyone provide me with a kernel-config that works? Mine got a little bloated whilst trying to fix the console issue. * does keyboard lighting work on this system? how? NO-Kernel-Question: * what is the best handling for the backlight/volume/keyboard-backlighting keys when running kde? just switched from gnome ;) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I would like to get: a working powerbook config and a little page where anyone can take a look. Could put it into my university webspace ;) thx and everything - I hope to get this system into a working state when I dont have to sacrifice too much of the functionality I'd have under macOSX but have the freedom and the multitude of applications and configuration-options of debian. greetings Timo Reimerdes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBKcS578tYjc5G2DgRArnTAJ9gDxvQAAR35F0PdQ4CP4cid231GgCgs8AG 2HflZi9S5Ht1ZyNfIWo2K9k= =hoo3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
