This is needed. Hopefully woody's boot-floppies will have the patch I put up so that video is detected properly. > ill let others comment on things such as kernel issues and X11. _If_ you use BenH's 2.4 rsync, sleep works w/o few gotchas. If you have airport up & running and want to sleep, search the archive for the bit of scripting you should put in /etc/power/pwrctl.local so that airport gets turned off. potato's X works fine, iirc. 4.0.x in woody worked great too and the 4.1.0 debs in testing work fine, w/ a minor issue on scrolling (possibly in 4.0.x if you use the r128 driver instead of fbdev). -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
