Re: 17 Powerbook fan turns on when starting into Ubuntu Dapper
Another question: Has people been able to get the keyboard to light up in Linux for the 17 PB? Thanks, -Adam Everything on the 17 works! except the modem. you need the pbbuttons package to fix the lightning. Børge Ok, everything is looking good with some minor diff changes in the kernel source. I have included the .config file to show what changes I made. However, I don't know if this should go as a new thread or not but when I put the computer to sleep and wake up.. it looses all responsiveness and the only thing I can do is force power down the box. I don't know if this is a kernel or pbbuttons issue. Other than that.. the kernel is looking very good. The fan does not come on any more and I can switch to the tty terminals and back to x without any problems. -Adam # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: 2.6.17.7 # Thu Aug 17 15:47:04 2006 # # CONFIG_PPC64 is not set CONFIG_PPC32=y CONFIG_PPC_MERGE=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY=y CONFIG_PPC=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM=y CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER=y CONFIG_ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC=y CONFIG_PPC_OF=y CONFIG_PPC_UDBG_16550=y # CONFIG_GENERIC_TBSYNC is not set # CONFIG_DEFAULT_UIMAGE is not set # # Processor support # CONFIG_CLASSIC32=y # CONFIG_PPC_52xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_82xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_83xx is not set # CONFIG_PPC_85xx is not set # CONFIG_40x is not set # CONFIG_44x is not set # CONFIG_8xx is not set # CONFIG_E200 is not set CONFIG_6xx=y CONFIG_PPC_FPU=y CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU=y CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32=y # CONFIG_SMP is not set # # Code maturity level options # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL=y CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 # # General setup # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION= # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y # CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3 is not set CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_AUDIT=y # CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not set # CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set # CONFIG_RELAY is not set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE= CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y # CONFIG_EMBEDDED is not set CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is not set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_PRINTK=y CONFIG_BUG=y CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y CONFIG_BASE_FULL=y CONFIG_FUTEX=y CONFIG_EPOLL=y CONFIG_SHMEM=y CONFIG_SLAB=y # CONFIG_TINY_SHMEM is not set CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 # CONFIG_SLOB is not set # # Loadable module support # CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y # CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL is not set CONFIG_KMOD=y # # Block layer # # CONFIG_LBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE is not set # CONFIG_LSF is not set # # IO Schedulers # CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP=y # CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS is not set # CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE is not set CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=y # CONFIG_DEFAULT_AS is not set # CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEADLINE is not set CONFIG_DEFAULT_CFQ=y # CONFIG_DEFAULT_NOOP is not set CONFIG_DEFAULT_IOSCHED=cfq # # Platform support # CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM=y # CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES is not set # CONFIG_EMBEDDED6xx is not set # CONFIG_APUS is not set CONFIG_PPC_CHRP=y CONFIG_PPC_PMAC=y CONFIG_MPIC=y CONFIG_PPC_RTAS=y # CONFIG_RTAS_ERROR_LOGGING is not set CONFIG_RTAS_PROC=y # CONFIG_MMIO_NVRAM is not set CONFIG_PPC_MPC106=y # CONFIG_PPC_970_NAP is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PMAC=y # CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX is not set CONFIG_TAU=y # CONFIG_TAU_INT is not set # CONFIG_TAU_AVERAGE is not set # CONFIG_WANT_EARLY_SERIAL is not set # # Kernel options # CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000 # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE=y CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y # CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set CONFIG_FLATMEM=y CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y # CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS=4 CONFIG_PROC_DEVICETREE=y CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y CONFIG_CMDLINE=console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_PM_LEGACY=y # CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_SECCOMP=y CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y # # Bus options # # CONFIG_ISA is not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y CONFIG_PPC_I8259=y CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y # #

And I use debian (debians stock kernel sucks with my pb 17, using vanilla for a reason) Never did like ubuntu, why do they not combine forces with debian instead of trying to make something new and better (stealing from the best).

Every time I tried to compile a vanilla kernel it just does not work for me on the 17 powerbook but it works for my other G4s, G3s, and xserv. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have taken the config from that kernel and made my own with the latests stable vanilla kernel but it did not work to well. I am going to try to compile it again tonight. I do think the stock kernel has the windfarm as a module as most of the stock kernel is compiled with modules all around. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
