Hi All, I suppose you're both talking about sid - and not stretch...
Anyway, Carlos, I have good news for you - pbbuttonsd should work now (PowerBook hotkeys including CD eject + ambient light + normally wake up from sleep). I have already described the quick fix in a post a few minutes ago, but here is a quick summary: - install back pbbuttonsd if you had removed it. (sudo apt-get install pbbuttonsd) ==> the thing is, this might turn your screen dark again. So you'll need to do some typing in the dark to restart it (to restart in nomodeset) ==> or you can try these commands (in the dark): ==> sudo service pbbuttonsd --full-restart ==> bbcmd config TAG_LCDBRIGHTNESS 90 - uncomment LCD_Brightness=90 in /etc/pbbuttonsd.cnf - set pbbuttonsd to start after lightdm by modifying /etc/init.d/pbbuttonsd and adding "lightdm" to the end of the "Required-Start:". I have also commented out "LCD_FadingSpeed=448" in /etc/pbbuttonsd.cnf - but this is more a question of personal preference. Richard, you can fix the crazy dimming issue by setting LCD_AutoAdjust=off (maybe you have an issue with your ambient light sensor). About docky - it uses mono - so be careful about it - it might take up some resources - and might break. Why don't you use a Panel instead? ( you can set it to auto minimize). This won't be as nice as docky - but will be (much) faster. To do that, right-click on the Panel - and select "Create New Panel", then you can add items in it. And yes, If you install different desktops you can switch using the login screen - you should have an icon somewhere to let you choose. Enjoy your PowerBooks with Debian!

(3d available, no sound > cleared with the solution above, but the dimming plays crazy, so after some time the computer would totally dim down ; my keyboard layout is german mac nodeadkeys, so probably with another layout the keys might work and the dimming would not occur? -- for making the @sign for email etc. i had to pass this option for german keyboard 1.create file inside userdirectory ~/.Xmodmap 2. pass this into the file clear Mod4 keycode 134 = ISO_Level3_Shift add Mod4 = Super_L 3. activate ~/.Xmodmap by typing xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap 4. this would remap the Right Command key (apple key) to act as AltGr The "@" is on the "G" key. Under OSX, we print it using ALT+g actually then Right AppleKey + G would finally bring "@" I am not fully satisfied with result from Lubuntu so i will try with Debian anew, possibly.

Because yesterday the fan was on full speed, then the PowerBook shuts down. Then I have installed pSensor to look at the temperatures. But it seems there is only a sensor for the HDD? Funny thing, today the HDD sensor is gone, not shown ... > > It's a pleasrue to use Synaptic. And it also wasn't a problem to install the wireless driver. But instead of vi, I have used gedit. Because it's easier to use for me. And about the PowerPC Wiki from Fadi. I haven't copied the lines, I only put contrib behind main. > > The brightness keys for the display don't work.
