(I'm using 3.4.3, the first reference to turning off NoTapTyping that I found came from a gentoo guy on the pbbuttonsd list, and I assume the problems he was reporting were with a recent version of gcc).

Mine is an iBook from last year, identifying itself as PowerBook6,5 and detected as 287 (iBook G4) with a 7447A. I assume the trackpad works (when the display starts to darken after inactivity, touching the trackpad restores it, but I don't have X or gpm installed yet). BUT, 'NoTapTyping = yes' is in the default pbbuttonsd.conf shipped with 0.6.10, which was why I started with it. My lockups were all on battery power, mostly reading mail via ssh to my main machine, but in one case editing a script on the iBook itself with vim. So far, I haven't touched the usb ports on this machine since I installed linux! Nothing in the logs, I had to kill it with the power button each time. > > Any hint is welcome because I don't have this problems on my ancient Pismo > and therefore I have some difficulties to debug it. > > Best Regards > Matthias > Like I say, turning off NoTapTyping seems to be key for this machine.
