This is due to a problem with the Qt4 libraries (see bug 487884). However, the bug has been fixed upstream and a fix will be released in 4.5.2. It is true that this problem is very annoying, and I am very looking forward to seeing this bug closed...

Direct Rendering worked out of the box, but I dont really know how to get compositing to work. Please provide the full Xorg.0.log file and the output of LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo Does compiz work? What about other 3D applications? I worked upstream to get OpenGL compositing working on this PowerBook more than two years ago, I've been using compiz ever since and also try KDE every now and then to check that it's still working there as well. Oh, and I set UseFBdev to false after having a problem with weird fonts in tty1 when i stopped gdm. The option has no effect with current versions of the radeon driver. Not 100% sure about the version in lenny but I suspect it's the case there. 3. Is it possible to scroll or right click without an external mouse on the touchpad? Two-finger scrolling works (and so may two- and three-finger taps) with current versions of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but again I'm not sure about the version in lenny. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer |http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
