Too bad. There always are some difficult ones out there. But X works on the installed system? Can you send me the XF86Config-4 that was setup? Text install seems to have taken a step backwards from the code in 8.0.

Odd, I don't know why a different lib would be required for you that wasn't called when I did an install and tested X. I don't even currently have any libc++ installed on my running system. Can you send me ddebug.log under root's dir? > Powerbook special keys are not understood so for instance sound > level cant be modify from the keyboard. Special software is required to enable this. I believe Ben Reser has something packaged up on his site. I'll see if I can get it into the final ISOs, but I can't really add new software to main in the distribution. > By default only root can mount cdrom...not a good thing in a > easy-is-my-name distribution like Mandrake. > > Supermount isn't enabled?

Personally I have no experience with non-US keyboards, so I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one. By default we use linux keycodes, not mac ones, which enables the drak and kde keyboard selectors to actually work.

You won't have any acceleration, but it beats lines I guess. Sound is interesting. There really is only 1 kernel driver these days. The mandrake kernel has alsa drivers, also. Is dmasound_pmac loaded?

Hi all... I have an ibook 2.2 (released in Nov 2002?) With the beta2 it does a wonderful job autodetecting my ethernet port and my airport card. Congrats! Now the bad news... still no sound and the video (with or without benh) still shows thin black scrolling horizontal lines in X. If anyone has any ideas as to where I'm screwing up, or ? lemme know.
