Hi,
Do you have sound? That is something that doesn't work one of the PPC
machines I have.
If so be glad, the work around involves recompiling a kernel :(
I installed xcompmgr and that seemed to help with moving the windows
around. (just add it to the startup list) You can install it and test
it in your session
sudo apt-get install xcompmgr
and test it:
xcompmgr &disown
&disown references the terminal you launch it from disowning it so you
can close the terminal when you want to.
I have not gotten suspend to work on either PPC fully, yet either.
There may be a work around for it, if it was working in a previous
release. I am going to test out 12.04 on one PPC to see what works
there, and what doesn't.
WiFi in PPC can be very funny. In the old Debian install I had I had to
remove the firmware from the installed directory until the computer
decided to randomly to start using the firmware on the internal chip.
Have you tried using xev yet to see if the keys produce any results?
If you are unfamiliar with it, open a terminal and type
xev
Then look at the output starting with
*KeyPress event, *
and find the line with this info:
state 0x0, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, *Control_L*), same_screen YES,
I pushed the Control key on the left....
You can then map the keys appropriately in your lubuntu-rc.xml file.
Lubuntu doesn't yet have a graphical application for mapping keys.
There was a post earlier about Alt+F2 not working, so you can mark the
bug as affecting you as well.
