Hello!
I'm probably going to put debian on my laptop (i've recently been converted
from redhat/ yellowdog loyalties).

the problem i believe is that the ibook cd plauer is not connected directly to

Sorry if this is an old one but...
i'm interested in setting up a dual head, non mirrored XFree86 config on a

firstly, has anyone got an XF86Config-4 that does this for my machine?
if not can anyone point me the right way for this info?

try the alsa drivers:
http://www.alsa-project.org/
i'm using them on my powerbook g4.
Any estimates as to when the driver will support this?
Is it being worked on somewhere?
cheers

Not sure about the problem, but if you want to use alsa, you should
cetainly use the 0.9 version as 0.5 is now deprecated. Not sure if they
are available from apt-get - i built them from source. but there are
0.9rc5 debs here:

are you talking about windows partitions or windows network shares?
sounds like you mean windows network shares (samba). if so, you need to specify
the smbfs mount type, not smb, e.g.
mount -t smbfs -o username=foo //a_pc/a_share /localmountpoint
not /sure/ which packages you'll need.

i just got it from here:
http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/mirrors/ppclinks.html
untarred it and ran the install script you get, as root. then i installed it

/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/setup
as that user.
no problem!

there is xf86config or you can re-run the debconf system
using:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
also garnome is 2.1 ... i found it is pretty cool. (well i prefer
windowmaker but if you're into gnome its great!)

if you are using gnome, there is a procedure that kills apps that take too long
to start up. so if oo takes too long it may get killed. you can fix this by
editing the soffice script ~/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/soffice . all you have to do
is put this line at the top of the script:

I notice that some media players seem to have altivec acceleration, e.g.

altivec acceleration under linux?

absolutely right!
this works:

I can probably help you here since i spent last night reading about and

There are accelerated drivers available for XFree. Have a look around this page:
