I'm pleased to announce that Terra Soft Solutions, makers of Yellow Dog
Linux, has setup two mailing lists for developers and users of the
Mac-On-Linux software.
We've setup two lists -- mol-general and mol-devel -- after consulting
with Samuel Rydh, the MOL author.

Well, LinuxPPC is the distribution that's "hacked on" top of someone

Power management on powerbooks exist but is not APM for now (it's
specific). You should get the pmud tool (available somewhere on

Thanks, I did that in MkLinux a long time ago so I'm sure I can
do it again...
Isn't that going to scare off a lot of people from going to Debian though?
I'm trying to convince a friend who wants to switch from MkLinux to
LinuxPPC, to give Debian a try, but he's not going to be very happy about

In general, how did the people with running Debian ppc boxes manage
to get X up and running? I still can't get Xpmac to work, and if I
switch to XF68_FBDev, there's no tool to generate a valid XF86Config file

Any idea where I can get a console-data working for PowerPC?
I then get an error when configuring console-

Well it boots, but I still don't get access to APM. How does one
configure it?
I also don't seem to get access to my PC card enabled USB mouse. I
guess I'll have to be more careful and figure out what chipset the
card is using.
jas.
I got the code to compile. The issue was in kernel/setup.c:580. The
CONFIG_XMON wrapper needed to be up moved around the map_bootx_text()
call as such:
old code:
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT
map_bootx_text();
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_XMON
new code:
#ifdef CONFIG_XMON
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT
I downloaded the Rage128 accelerated Xpmac.rage128.usd.rev5 X server,
and referred to in in the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver. However when
it starts, after initializing correctly, recognizing my card and
starting acceleration, I get the error:
