I am shopping around for a new laptop and I think the new ibook looks pretty sweet. If I do get it I would want to run debian on it most of the time, so I have a few questions about the status of hardware support.
Power Mgt -- Are the power management functions (sleep, charging, backlight control, etc.) supported? Video -- it's a Rage Mobility 128 chip; I assume this is supported in the latest Xfree86? Is there the ability to switch from the internal display to the external (RGB/composite) connectors? Sound -- I heard this wasn't working; I have a USB audio converter so I can do without it for a while. Also if you think there might be a better beal on a laptop I should consider, let me know. --Peter
