Hello Sven, I tried you new 2.6.11-0.2 kernel packages. Summary of the problems: no trackpad, no sound, no fn-key. Details about my configuration (dmesg output etc.) can be found at
http://seehuhn.de/comp/powerbook/2.6.11-0.2/
In addition to the "real" problems below I noticed a small packaging
issue:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] ll /lib/modules/2.6.11-powerpc/source
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 98 2005-03-14 12:31
/lib/modules/2.6.11-powerpc/source ->
/home/sven/debian/kernel/build/kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.11-2.6.11/tmp/kernel-source-2.6.11-powerpc
The /lib/modules/2.6.11-powerpc/source link should probably not be in
the package in this form.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
improvements since 2.6.11-0.1
-----------------------------
1) adt746x thermostat works now :-)
problems left
-------------
1) the trackpad does not work :-(
Using the trackpad has no visible effect, no input arrives at
/dev/input/mice, the X pointer does not move etc.
2) sound does not work
Everything seems fine at first: alsamixer sees controls labelled
"master", "headphon", "Mix Boos", "PC Speak", "Auto Mut", "Beep".
Doing "cat something.wav >/dev/audio" or similar takes the
appropriate amount of time. But no sound is actually played :-(
3) the "fn" key has no effect
I tried "showkey -s" on the console. Pressing "fn" does not modify
the the scan codes of other keys and does not emit a scan code
itself.
4) suspend does not work
I tried the following shell script on the text console without X running:
#!/bin/sh
rmmod ohci1394
rmmod eth1394
rmmod ieee1394
rmmod hci_usb
/etc/init.d/hotplug stop
echo disk > /sys/power/state
The script actually completed, but afterwards the machine hung. The
cursor on the text console was still blinking, but all key presses
were ignored and I had to do a hard reset.
suspicious kernel messages
--------------------------
The dmesg output contains the following lines which look like error
messages:
- no idea about this:
Can't get bus-range for /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED], assuming
it starts at 0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19.0
Sven suggests that this can be ignored.
- some EPROTO errors:
ohci_hcd 0001:10:1b.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3
hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3

usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
ohci1394: $Rev: 1223 $ Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- no idea about this:
ohci1394: fw-host0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000!
Somebody on debian-powerpc guessed that this can be ignored.
- maybe the following is connected to the trackpad problem
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Apple Computer Apple Internal
Keyboard/Trackpad] on usb-0001:10:1a.0-2
HID device not claimed by input or hiddev
usbhid: probe of 1-2:1.1 failed with error -5
