Re: Disable selecting with trackpad?
There is a gui that is on the pbbuttonsd website. Find out that out install it, and you should be good. I had to open it from a terminal window as a su to be able to save my configurations settings. It worked great. hth Stephen On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 8:36 AM, Ross Gohlke wrote: > Thanks for the reply!

Re: broadcom 4306 rev 3 ndiswrapper
Benjamin, I have side by side my laptop (ibook G4 Debian GNU/Linux) and desktop (mac mini mac os x 10.5.6). I have found ethtools in debian and the connection speed is only 10Mb/s in the mac network utility the link speed is set at 54Mb/s. So what gives you said that 54Mb/s was allowed and side by side I am only getting 10Mb/s on my linux box.

Slow internet browsing broadcom 4306 rev 3
I have debian 5.0 and everything is up and running now, but my wireless seems to be very slow compared to the macintosh sitting right next to it when it is connected to the wireless network.

Re: sound not working lenny (worked under etch)
I don't know because I had only had Etch running for about a week before lenny come out, so I had not gotten that far into figuring out the system. I looked in etc/modutils and found bluez . I am not sure if this is what I should be looking for or not. It also looks like I have gotten Debian edu which is fine as I am a professor at a local community college, but here are my repos: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main dev-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free Was this the expected behavior?
