iMac USB keyboard LEDs

2002-05-14 Thread Matt Zimmerman
I have an iMac running unstable with kernel 2.4.18 (though I think 2.2.20 had the same problem) and the keyboard LEDs are all wacked out. The "num lock" light reflects the inverse of the caps lock state (off=on, on=off). The "caps lock" light is always on. There is no "scroll lock" light or key,

Help porting Hercules 2.12 to PowerPC

2001-07-25 Thread Matt Zimmerman
Hercules 2.12 doesn't seem to build on powerpc due to its use of the 'sqrtl' function, which computes the square root of a long double. This function is in libm on other architectures (though it doesn't appear to be documented), but is absent on powerpc. How should I work around this problem? (P
