Keyboard hack for powerbooks no longer works

2002-11-07 Thread Jason E. Stewart
Hey All, The lovely keyboard hack that enables you to remap the caps-lock key to be control on powerbooks stopped working in BenH kernels sometime after 2.4.16-pre1. I've got a whole series of 2.4.19 kernels and even though I added the adbhid.c patch it no longer works. Any ideas what might have

I'd like to create a CD-R disc that is bootable on my iBook laptop. I am familiar with creating Linux-based bootable CD-Rs for the x86 architecture, but can't seem to find a real good reference documenting how to do the same for a (New World) Macintosh. Could the folks that author the Debian PPC C

I see similiar behavior on my ibook2. When the battery gets down around 25% the machine says the battery is critically low, and shuts down. Maybe the battery gives inconsistent power when it's nearly drained? Reid On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 08:20, Mij wrote: > hi > > I'm getting a strange behavior
