Re: xkb-data: Help needed for Macintosh keyboards
Just for information, I don't know if I'm the only one but I find
the 'nobreakspace' symbol very annoying (it usually shows up when I write
a '{ ' or '[ ' since my right finger stays on the altgr when I press space).
Is it really needed ? Can it be disabled without just copying the fr symbol
file and removing it ? (as I'm currently doing ...)
Thanks for all the work ...

Problem with clock on Beige G3
The clock on my beige G3 drifts a lot (something like 30 min every hour if the system clock is uncorrected). I thought it was somewhat related to the RTC battery being dead, but I changed it and it did not fix the problem. The only clue I could think of is a too high HZ (it is at 250). Unfortunately, the USB-ADSL driver I use does not seem to behave properly if HZ = 100...

Oprofile support for ppc32
I googled a bit and saw that a few people discussed about oprofile support for ppc32 (around march 2003).

Re: Oprofile support for ppc32
Let me rephrase: there is support for timer-based profiling, but not for performance monitoring counters-based profiling, which is far better. Only the latter needs processor-specific code. This code exists for ppc64 (in arch/ppc64/oprofile), but not for ppc32. Regards, Sylvain Joyeux

iBook G4 12" and 2.6.1-ben1 problems

Re: iBook G4 swsusp status
The strange thing is that (after using pmdisk= instead of resume= :p), it resumes well and puts the swap back in its original shape (at least, it's a swap afterwards) I have a few problems with resume though: - the fb console is often totally messy. Very big and ugly lines (something like 4 lines on the screen), some lines are overlapping with other ones. It is fixed when X comes up. - sometimes the X window is yellowish after resume. I do go on a VT before suspend. - .Xauthority seems to be modified in the process, but since I'm using the (slightly modified) hibernate script from swsusp2, I'll have to check that it does not come from it (does not seem to be that, though).
