Is that only for an iBook, or is it a more generic change?

Is the accelerated XFree86 not available for Debian? On my "Bronze" powerbook,
X speed seems to be similar for the two of them...

Of course, if disk-intensiveness is a large part of the compiling process, you
probably need to spend a fair amount of time with hdparm before it works at it's
best. According to it's built-in benchmarks, disk throughput practically
doubled
on my 400 mhz "Bronze" laptop when I set it to autotune.

there's a version of xpmac accelerated for the 65550. Ask on the
linux-ppc mailing lists, or look at

Espescially when you throw in the (usually) limited RAM and slow,
low-power-consumption hard drives that laptops use.

How do you quantify "1/2 of the speed"? Console scrolling? I know that
console is very slow on PPC, mostly because there is no hardware support of
text in the
Framebuffer (as I understand it).
With accelerated X the X server speed is quite good.
Have you tested integer and fpu throughput?

Try contacting Linar Yusupov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, he built a X server ( VGA? )
on a
Thinkpad 850, it is PPC with S3 video chip and it is IBM, RS/6000, PReP, ...
maybe he did some of the work you are asking for.
If you manage to have it packaged inside debian, maybe I'll give it a try in a

It depends, e.g. the pm2fb has very fast accelerated scrolling.

Hi,
I have powerbook 333Mhz, and it runs like 1/2 of the speed of my PII 400 Mhz,
wasnt G3 supose to be much faster? ( I tested compilations on Debian, using
time command).
can someone explain me? I am testing this laptop. is not mine yet, but its a
great deal.
I apreciated some advice. than

Hi, all.
I installed debian on a Powerbook G3.
I dist-upgrade it, and ok. have several problems.
like, when I created an user, the user was not added to the groups file.
And the Xpmac X server is not on Debian. I have a 1969 date, and I dont
know with wich util I can fix this.

Hi,
I have written a couple scripts for installing yaboot, Benjamin
Herrenschmidt's OpenFirmware bootloader, onto a bootstrap partition
(be it a dedicated partition or a MacOS boot partition).
The primary purpose of these scripts is to bring the quik/LILO
installation procedure over to yaboo
