Console problems with 2.4.20-ben4

2003-01-29 Thread Andrew Nesbit
I've been following Christophe's instructions for getting Debian onto a TiBook. I recompiled the kernel but now the console is looking very unhealthy - the text flickers a lot has "shadows" to the right of it. Can somebody please help me? Andrew.

ALSA on TiBook

2003-01-29 Thread Andrew Nesbit
I've heard reports that ALSA does work with the Snapper sound device in TiBooks, but I've not been able to find any documentation on how to do it. What level of support actually is provided? Is it necessary to use the CVS sources? Thankyou. Andrew.

Hardware clock on dual G4 highly inaccurate?

2003-01-29 Thread John P. Fisher
I have two dual G4s running potato debian. On both of them the syslog shows time resets from NTP of approximately 5 seconds per hour. I also noticed independently that the hardware clock seemed to drift radically. Am I misinterpreting? Can the clock be that bad, or should I check configuration?

Hey all, I'm having a strange problem trying to get woody on my G4 Cube. Googling and searching the list archives hasn't helped so far. I had been dual-booting debian and OS X w/ yaboot before my HD died. I've since replaced the HD and tossed Jaguar on it. When I boot from the woody cd (same one
