They need to use "macintosh_old", since 2.4 isn't available for that subarch. Debian 68k guys, is it reasonable to expect 2.6 m68k Mac kernels to use Linux keycodes by default?

Yes; there have been several bugs filed about this already, so I'm not cloning a new one. See #238778, #239827, #242321, and #242605. > 3) it is not possible to propose an empty monitor lines.

Am checking with the 5964 (Radeon 9200 SE) right now on a cleanly installed d-i install without any of the extra tasksel desktop stuff. A first few comments : 1) i still get proposed a macintosh keyboard by default. i need an pc105 one. Maybe it would be possible to check the subarch, if it is a pmac, then propose macintosh, if not, then propose pcXXX stuff. 2) it proposed me the us keyboard. Maybe this could be taken from the chosen language used for the console and found in the debconf database ? 3) it is not possible to propose an empty monitor lines. I have a DVI connected LCD flat panel, and comenting out the monitor frequencies works best. Ok, apart from that, the 9200 SE (5964) worked fine, will check the pure 9200 (5961) later and report back. That said, killing X from the console messes up the console, but this is probably a kernel issue, or a radeonfb<->X radeon driver interaction.

Problem seems to be that the ati wrapper has some troubles for some of the Radoen 9200 cards, and doesn't load the radeon module appropriately in these cases. I will recheck with both my 5961 and 5964 cards again and confirm this. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

'radeon' should be perfectly legal, and just sedded to 'ati' in the XFree86 scripts if they really want to enforce this whole 'only ever use the wrapper' thingo. -- Daniel Stone<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian: the universal operating system http://www.debian.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature
