pbbuttonsd should help here.

You have to change the mainboard or look for a 2GB SO-DIMM.

Hllo,

i have installed jessie on powerbook g4 1,67 and am very happy with 
sound and video.

can someone please show me how to achieve sleep when i shutdown lid?

thank you very much,

rich


ps. there is supposedly an error with those powerbooks as many don't 
recognize the second 1gb ram bank. i had this problem on osx and was not 
able to ssolve it; possible that under linux it behaves differently? 
does anyone have an experience with the ram being recognized in linux? 
would be great to have 2gb on my machine here.

I would recommend hooking up a serial console or a netconsole to watch
the kernel buffer while the machine is shutting down. This way you should
be able to track down at which point during shutdown it hangs.

For some reason, now the old PB G4 shuts down. I will check if it 
happens again.

What do you see in the system log as you shutdown ? Does it get stuck
on something (you may want to ssh onto your laptop and tail -f the log
file).
