g3 powerbook going to sleep

is there anyway to keep a g3 powerbook from going to sleep if the lid is closed. It turns itself off after 30 min of no activity. I am running the powerbook as a portable demo server, and I need to keep the top closed. thanks

No luck for me either. The Gnome CD player won't recognize any audio CD I put in the drive. I believe there was a thread earlier that mentioned that the drive in the G4 isn't hooked up to do its own audio out, that you need to read audio data from the drive and play it yourself... On 23 Apr 2001

Audio CD's on tibook?

Anyone got audio cd's working with the tibook? How do they function? They seem to work ok under MacosX, but the CDROM player is not reported as CDDA capable under Linux. I guess I could go fool around with macosx/darwin and see if I can get a system call tracer working etc etc, but it could be a

Michel, thanks but after many weeks of floundering I eventually got this to work properly (Monday, to be precise). So I now have XFree86 4 working properly on my beige G3. I'm going to eventually post my config on the web for future Beige G3 sufferers. For the archives, it will be at http://www

floppy boot on a 7200/90

Hello, I've just installed the last debian distrib on a 7200/90. It includes the 2.2.19 kernel and a quik.conf. I have no macos partition (so no bootX) and I didn't managed to get the nvram tuned to boot debian directly after many tries and nvram reinit. I've found a floppy on the bootX archive

You are in luck :) I know a URL that steps you through this (I have it working on a Beige G3 - not much help). When I'm in the office tomorrow I'll forward the PowerBook URL to you. It's quite good. If you want to play while you wait, use: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to reconfigure XF86Con
