Hi all,
I installed Debian/PowerPC recently and found some problems,
but now I have not enough time to investigate if they are bugs
or not, so I report them to the list first.
First, it seems dpkg-divert left several *dpkg-devert.tmp
(not *dpkg-divert.tmp!). This should be wrong.
dpkg is of 1.

4.70 in unstable. i think

security holes. its time to mov

i have a test version of ofpath up at http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files.
it should fix a problem on oldworlds where a null or some other
garbage character was showing up in the middle of the returned OF
device name.
even if you don't use quik if you have an oldworld please test this to

Hi!
I have a problem with the above card: Xfree 4.0 doesn't recognize it,
although it gives this card as one of the available cards on startup. So
now I am back to fbdev, only with the new server. Anybody has this card
running with the ati or r128 driver? The xserver-xfree86 package is the

This is too vague, please provide the relevant portion(s) of the log and at
least the Device Section of your XF86Config, if you run at

Okay, I finally got X up and running. My mouse works and everything. My
next questions relate to the new input layer, as in, how did this come
about? I know that it's related to the 2.4 kernel, but why does it also
show up in the 2.2 series? How do you know if you have the new input
layer? I know

The device section:

Hello all!
If this topic spams the list I apologize - and please mail me private.
As the ISDN-cards mentioned in kernels config seem not to be available for a
G4, as my dealer told me, I wonder if there is any hardware solution running
ISDN with debian/G4. Probably anybody has a (good) working

Can you boot linux? If so, you probably can find this out by
perusing the nvram device tree, in /proc, iirc.

I am hoping someone can give me some feedback on my efforts to
get a Microspeed MacTrac 2.0 trackball working on my 7500
w/XLR8 carrier & 266 G3. My basic problem is that I'm not
getting any button press or release events with either GPM or
as reported by xev. Here's where I'm at:

Yes, the XCLAIM series has all the magical OpenFirmware stuff to make
it work properly under Linux. It is a true Mac card (it even has the
wide Mac video connector, I think).
To find out the device tree entry, either:
a) Boot up Mac OS and run Apple System Profiler. Find it in the
