Not to mention that there doesn't seem to be just one UFS layoung around and that Linux didn't have good support for UFS the last time I checked (but, again, the Linux driver may have the feature to write on such filesystems not marked "dangerous" anymore).

Gnome and other desktop environments have been accumulating fat over the years and it seems that some guys at Novell have decided some months ago to focus their attention on limiting the memory necessary for such programs. This is especially important for those who cannot for one reason or another, have huge libraries due to restrictions of RAM size, which, I would think, would be the first thing to impact a laptop with a slow harddisk (where swap is done).

PBButtonsd Beta Version 0.7.0beta2 released - major bugfix
Hi, I released a beta version of the comming pbbuttonsd 0.7.0. In this beta version trackpad and keyboard will only be configured on PowerBooks that have an ADB Trackpad and/or keyboard. Furthermore the NoTapTyping function changed: Trackpad tap will now be disabled with first key stroke and enabled with first mouse move. This will reduce ADB bus load significantly. This might not solve the freeze problem, but makes it much more unlikely. Please test this version extensivly and report all problems. With enough feedback we should get the release within a week. The source package could be dowloaded from the pbbuttonsd download area of http://pbbuttons.sourceforge.net.

If you'd even consider using FAT, then UFS will do. UFS is just about identical to ext2 in terms of feature set and on-disk structure. Ext2 was designed as a UFS clone with the VAX-era cruft removed. The only question of interest: has anybody set up the Linux UFS driver to handle MacOS X yet? The driver needs to know the byte order and needs to know if some features (32-bit UID, file type codes, etc.) may legitimately be used. Some old Mac apps might have a little trouble, but hopefully that won't be too serious for $HOME usage. For example, you get case sensitivity. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But is it supported and will tis bring a good amount of speed, because for a 150Mhz clockspeed increase this upgrade is too expensive for me! Oh and by the way if anybody has experience with such an upgrade, i'm interested Bottom line - if the software does not use Altivec optimizations, it's not worth it. I got one of these upgrades, and I posted some benchmarks of before and after results (under Mac OS X) of the performance of this upgrade. If you look at the site: www.xlr8yourmac.com, and check under the CPU upgrades database, my entry for the Powerbook 2000 upgrade is on the 2nd or 3rd page of listings. I ran benchmarks using generic UNIX-ish software (LaTeX and gcc) and Mac OS X software. The performance in the non OS X software (i.e. non G4 optimized software) scaled with clock speed, while OS X software which used Altivec showed a larger performance gain. If you plan to twiddle and tweak software, and learn a little about vector programming, it may be worth it for you. If you just want to install and go, this upgrade probably won't be worth the price, unless the software you plan to use has already been optimized for Altivec. Which is the case of dvd playback ...

That should not be a problem - the PMU driver only queries for battery state on timer or environment interrupts. On my machine, on AC no timer interrupts happen - see /proc/pmu/interrupts for this, maybe the 'problematic' machines are using a different interrupt? How many PMU interrupts in a row do these machines ever see? I'm thinking of a race between PMU commands and other ADB interrupts here, though I'm not sure this can happen. If the kernel totally hangs (including communication with the PMU), the PMU will shut down the machine after a while. In no way there should be a problem with user space reading /proc/pmu/.

A real portable solution would be something that exposes the full feature set of each architecture's power handling framework via one generic API. Stuff that powerpc has but might be missing on ix86 is scheduled boot time, or automatic boot on powerup. Not sure this needs to be handled in-kernel though.

Another sleep > wakeup usually solved the problem. sometimes i get the same behaviour, the solution without sleep-wakeup cycle for me it's simply to powerdown the light of the display, then lite it on again (whit pbbuttonsd or fblevel), then the dizzling goes away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Ah, actually, it does work, but I have to hold the fn+arrow key combination for about 2 seconds before it suddenly kicks in. Any idea why this might be?

X keymap for Powerbook5,6 problem
Hi, This is mainly a question for Jochen Voss about your X keymap for the Powerbook 5,6, but I figure someone else might have experienced the same things I am. First off the system info: UK Powerbook 5,6 Kernel 2.6.12 (gentoo) + fn key patch + all patches for Powerbook 5,6 XOrg 6.8.2-r1 Enlightenment e17 When I apply the X keymapping using 'xkbcomp gb.xkb :0' I find that alt+any arrow key does the 'named' keys (home, end, page up, page down) but fn+any arrow key doesn't. Is this what is expected? Do you think this is something to do with the combination of stuff I have running? Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
