powerpc-utils already was in stable before? I asked about incuding pmud
late in the freeze and was shot down ...

Hi,
I'm writing you to have apmd marked as x86 only. Right now apmd is compiled by
the build-daemon (I think) but is 100% useless on PPCs, just to name one arch.
Maybe some other architectures (I'm thinking of Alphas) use the APM system.
Thanks for your time

Hi,
If I understand correctly, when I boot with
append="video=aty128fb:vmode:20,cmode=32"
in my yaboot.conf, the aty128fb driver will be communicating directly with
my graphics hardware. When I then start X using the fbdev driver, the modes
available to X are limited by the modes available t

Well, after reading some about the new input layer (thanks for all help
and directions about this in the thread about Pismo touchpad btw) I now
use the se-latin1.kmap in i386/qwerty. It works great with in X and
console but, I miss my pipe '|' and the at-sign '@'. I've tried some other
keymaps in c
