Need testers: G3 @ G4 laptops (powerbooks & ibooks)

Hi need people who own those machiens, especially the recent iBook2 models with a G3 CPU and titanium powerbooks with a G4, to test this patch and tell me if sleep mode still works reliably or becomes unstable. (It won't help machines that cannot already sleep). Applies on top of current 2.6 but

Re: Re: Xine dying on me :-(

It took me a while to figure that out, but now i finally got it. It appears that the locale command puts out a LANG variable of en_US.ISO-8859-15. I changed it to en_US, and it works. It works with all the language settings, but you have to remove the .ISO-8859-15 part. Mfg Frank Oberländer

Re: Solid lockup on latest benh 2.6 kernel + PB 12"

I've rushed ahead and made the change to mine, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Sometimes a hang on boot, but what DEFINITELY triggers it is doing something like ls /dev on a console. From an xterm it's fine, but from the console - bang the framebuffer locks solid. The box is still r

PBButtonsd: Support for ambient light sensors

Some time ago there was a thread here that discussed an deamon supporting the ambient light sensors of recent Powerbooks. I was asked to implement this feature in pbbuttonsd and so did I. Because I don't have a Powerbook supporting this fancy gimik I need some help testing this feature. Some very

Hi, I tried video=ofonly and video=rivafb:noaccel, and the same result occurs. Contrary to my first email, it seems related to the problem already seen on the list, of the framebuffer no longer being refreshed. I can still ping and ssh the system fine, but nothing I do makes the screen unfreeze

Which kernel version are you using? I just switched from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 and this started happening with my trackball. I switched back to 2.6.1 and the problem hasn't resurfaced, so I recompiled my 2.6.2 with USB debugging and will start trying to recreate the bug. Matthew Ray --- Marc-Olivie

USB Mouse spurious disconnect/reconnect

Hi Every so often, my USB mouse (MS-Intellimouse 2 buttons + wheel) suffurs a spurious disconnection and right after that a re-connection. The cable is fine, I think. The problem is that it comes back as another device and X doesn't follow this re-organization. Thus the mouse pointer is stuck. I
