SysRq key on iBook
Hi, I've been doing some searching a while ago and didn't manage to find the solution to my problem. The system's running smoothly for a long time but if it freezes I'd like to use SysRq key on my iBook G4. Is there any way I can use SysRq key on my iBook without recompiling the kernel first?

Please, tell me > I'm wrong. :) Indeed it is not - at least I haven't found it. I should've been more precise as I'm after the very same thing - the key combination for it. I do know that SysRq is available in the powerpc kernel and you can trigger it's behaviour by sending codes to /proc, but that doesn't help me if I can't switch to/open a terminal.

Re: Does someone use grub?

This was on a G4 Mac Mini. I'd tried it twice: first time using GRUB wiki as a guide; second and last time so far I used someone's blog entry (which I can't seem to find right now). First time I made my system unbootable - I remember I had to use a rescue CD as I might have removed yaboot in the process. Last time I actually managed to get as far as GRUB console, but wasn't able to boot to Linux even that way. The biggest issue I had was the size of the boot partition - might be too small to hold both yaboot and grub image with all the modules. Second thing that's quite annoying is ybin wiping everything from the boot partition every time it is run. Not sure if doable but in theory one could chain-load yaboot from GRUB if things go wrong. I have to admit that I didn't dig into the whole thing deep enough but if someone has a good (WORKING!) guide how to make GRUB work on PowerPC I'll be more than happy to give it a go one more time. > Things may well have improved for the better since then--I just > went back to yaboot since I was more interested in having a > working system than playing with bootloaders. +1 Cheers, -- Raf http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

On my iBook G4 it looks like this: % xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1024x768 This is there simply because my projector (not sure if that applies to all) doesn't provide any information regarding supported modes, etc. in the same way monitors do. % xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS --off This uses the previously added mode and switches off the laptop screen (you can omit the last two options if not needed). % man xrandr Last but not least ;^) My xorg.conf has only basic entries as I use the xserver automatic configuration.

As I was replying I thought that mplayer might have something similar bur I've never seen this being mentioned anywhere on the Net, eg. HOWTO.

That's obviously not the only module you're missing. It would help if you could give some more details, e.g. what PowerPC machine is it, which release are you using, etc. I personally use snd-aoa (and some other modules) on my iBook G4 (PowerBook6,7) running unstable; snd-powermac worked for me couple of years ago, but not the last time I tried it.
