potato + X on iMac Rev A

I am in process of putting Debian 2.2 onto a Rev A iMac and am becoming increasingly confused over its X configuration. Can anyone contribute frequencies for the built-in monitor on this machine? The claimed vertical refresh is a little higher than I am used to entering and scouring apple.com

A last question to Pismo owners (floppy drive)

Hello everyone, I am very glad that Linux runs this well on my Pismo, yet I belong to that apparently vanishing (at least in Steve Jobs' opinion) group of people who still use floppies on a regular basis, and therefore decided to order a VSTTech Superdisk/1.44 floppy drive for my Pismo's right

Regarding 7500 debian install

Thanks for letting me ask you several questions. And I will cc them to debian-powerpc. So here they are: 1) Do you have X up and running? 2) Do you use /dev/ttyS0 for your modem ppp connection or do you use /dev/cua0? 3) Have you had any success running diald? I'm sure I have other questions, bu

Re: new package to enable mouse button emulation

Hmmm, yes this is probably the way to go. I guess you could argue that not everyone wants the emulation, but since its just an extra shell script its hardly that much bloat. I'll intergrate it into powerpc-utils and send a patch later this week. * Daniel Jacobowitz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > On

I have used this exact same device on a Lombard with no troubles what so ever. I can not recall right now whether I tried one on a Pismo. On the Lombard it showed up as an IDE device and functioned fine with floppies. I can not remember if I tried actual 120 disks or not. I do not have a Pismo no
