Touchpad control on a PowerBook
Can anybody think of a way to disable the touchpad temporarily (without restarting X)? The touchpad is very sensitive under Linux it seems and keeps jumping around documents whilst I'm typing if I accidentally brush close to it. Ideally I'd like to map a script to switch the pad off to the Eject key, then when I hit it again the touchpad is reenabled. Is this possible with pbbuttonsd?

When you have to buy a separate piece of hardware (such as a video card), it is easy to choose with respect to availability of free drivers. But with laptops, you have to make compromises because you can't replace parts (like the conexant modem for iBook). My current disappointment and rebutal for Apple hardware is that sometimes you can't even get any non-free drivers (Airport, recent Nvidia and ATI cards). Now, why do some manufacturers refuse to rebuild their non-free drivers for powerpc at all (Nvidia)? I suspect Apple asked them not to do so; it can't be for technical reasons ... -- Jérôme Marant http://marant.org

iBook 2 sterling symbol won't display in terminal windows
Hi everyone -
I'm running Debian testing on an iBook 2. The keyboard has the
sterling (£) symbol printed on the "3" key, so I'm inclined to think
it's a British layout. However, the "at" (@) and double quote (")
symbols are switched round to the U.S. style.
I'm trying to get the SHIFT+3 combination to produce the sterling
symbol in the console. It works just fine in Firefox and other
applications, but not in terminal windows, so I think it's a
console-related problem.
Under multi-gnome-terminal, on the command line, SHIFT+3 produces a
hash (#) followed by a carriage return. However, when editing a text
file with vim, SHIFT+3 produces what seems to be a blank space. I
know this is actually an incorrectly displayed sterling symbol,
because I can highlight the area using the mouse, then paste the
result into another non-console application where it is displayed as a
sterling symbol.
I've issued : 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' a few times, and tried
out some of the Apple variants there, but nothing seems to make a
difference.
So, why else might the console not be displaying the sterling symbol correctly?
Thanks in advance,
Archie

I normally use `trackpad notap' on X session start. However.. it sometimes seems to `forget' that setting. I tried if suspending was the cause, but when I tested that, it did work... haven't figured out yet, when it `forgets'.

Booting powerbook g3 with VGA
I have a PowerBook G3/450MHz (pismo) with broken screen, i intend to use the box as a mediastation if i am able to get the vga to work. I have NO lcd-screen connected to the box. Booting from the CD i try to append the video=aty128fb:crt:1,lcd:0 And my connected crt-screen shows a white screen (with some text, can't exactly remember what) and the box begins booting the debian-installer ( i think, cant really see it, but it sounds like it uses the dvd-drive.=D). I tried appending video=aty128fb:crt:1,lcd:1 aswell, with the same result. Btw, if i boot the machine regularly with no extra params, the connected VGA-Device remains black. Anyone have any idea of how to get the VGA-Output working? /David 'fenrus' Syk

It's something to do with the pound sterling symbol having its 8th bit set, which sits rather uncomfortably with bash. I found this explanation: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/12/msg02977.html It involves adding a line to ~/.initrc, though this doesn't appear to make any kind of difference for me. Will keep experimenting... - Archie

Alternatively, http://www.kenmoffat.uklinux.net has uk keytables for the iBook2 for the versions of console-tools and kbd that were current when I got my iBook.

Why is koffice missing from debian-ppc ?
I have heard some positive things about kword, but koffice is not in the debian-ppc standard archives, and packages for other distros look pretty outdated. Why is there no ppc version of koffice in Debian?
