Perhaps it's a bug with discover or cups because they try to load a driver for a hardware I don't have but I don't think such driver should hang the computer, that's also a kernel bug. I don't understand either why the parport_pc is needed with powerpc kernels if they are not pc > > The -powerpc kernels support a wide range of hardware, including some > (as mine), that does have parport support. Yes, I know, that's why I prefer a heavy modular kernel, but Do you need the pc specific driver?

As I said, I see that discover have a bug trying to load a module I don't know but also I'm asking about the need of that module in powerpc kernels. If you need it to get working your parport then I will fill a bug report against kernel 2.4 (and perhaps 2.6) because hangs a machine loading that module, if you don't need it I will do the same but asking to disable that option from the menu when compiling a powerpc kernel.

If you are using MSDOS partitions, then the problem is that you don't
have support for MSDOS partition map under your PPC Linux.

If you have a MSDOS partiton (only one), sda1, if you are using Mac
partition map, sda2 (because Macs have the first partition as the table
with all partitions).

Apple Keyboard Pro Multimedia keys don't work
Hi, since some months ago the apple keyboard pro "special" keys does not work. I was playing with xev and showkey and it seems to be a kernel problem because those programs don't know anything about those keys, it's like there are not enabled. The funny thing is that the same kernel works without problems with my tibook :-? The keyboard is attached to an imac flat panel (15"). Any idea?

Hmmm I know that you should not add ALL modules inside initrd for debian-installer, but What happens if you want boot from a firewire cdrom?, or a USB one? I think that you should add to debian-installer modules all boot possibilities so the user will be able always to boot her/his system. > > Anyway, we are too near the srge release for those kind of changes, but > i will look into it when i get the time.

The x86 initrd is less than 3.5Mb and it's compiled that way. I'm talking about a more modularized .config file so you can use make-kpkg as always. With that setup you have a kernel that will only load what you need and will let you boot from USB, FireWire, IDE or SCSI just like MacOSX without add all those buses inside kernel. > > > That option is one thing I'm missing from x86 kernel images on powerpc. > > > > Also, a package like kernel-build-* will be really useful to compile > > modules if you have a prepackaged kernel like yours. > > Mmm, effectively, that would be usefull, i was not aware that something > such existed, i will be looking into it.

The Apple's license is now a true free license, is it good for us?
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/apsl.html Hi people. The new Apple License (APSL 2.0) is a true free software license. Could we see now their Darwin source code to develop Linux drivers? I'm not talking about copy & paste their code, that's not possible because APSL is a noncompatible GPL license but try to document Apple hardware from their drivers so we could use that documentation to develop our own drivers.

If I'm understanding the alpha channel utility (32 bpp colors), it's that it means the opacity of an image so it lets you handle true transparency, isn't it? I mean true transparency directly with xserver-xfree86 drivers instead of hacks or emulations that takes a root shot to emulate the transparency effect.

Will it work? I have the unofficial debs for XFree 4.3 installed with an nvidia (imac flat panel) and I want to try them with my powerbook (with an ATI card) but I don't know if the xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk server will work with the XFree 4.3 libs.

XFree86 dri packages and XFree86 4,3

Re: Mac USB keyboard
The mac keyboard works without problems (here). I have a powerbook and
the AltGr key it's Fn + alt
With a flat imac (usb keyboard) the AltGr key is the right Alt key
It works with XFree and console and it's the default configuration.
My Xfree keyboard config is like the one for a PC, model pc105, rules
xfree86 and layout es
Cheers.
