my clamshell ibook, which is close enough to identical to yours you may just need to install the apm_emu module, the snd-powermac module and... well that should be about it. modem support is now in the kernel, not a module as for 3d acceleration it should also be fine as its more an XFree thing t

2.6 kernel for iBook 500 Mhz G3 dual usb

2005-02-17 Thread Greg Hamilton
Since upgrading Gnome I see the odd warning about services which require a 2.6 kernel to work properly (eg. HAL I think, though I don't have the machine handy to check). I'm running a custom built 2.4 kernel at the moment with which everything works - sleep, internal modem, 3D acceleration, etc

Re: pmud vs. pbbuttonsd on iBook

2004-08-11 Thread Greg Hamilton
I ran YDL on my iBook for awhile and had the same confusion when moving to Debian. It turns out that pbbuttonsd can be configured to control sleep, hard drive idle spin down and all sorts of other stuff. You don't need pmud installed. Just read the man page and modify the config file to suit.

I ran into trouble some time ago backing up data from a Linux server to a Mac running OS X. I wasn't previously aware that HFS+ was case insensitive. I solved the problem by using UFS. In my case the file system was never directly mounted by a Linux system. OS X >= 10.3 supports case sensitive

Re: mono packages

2004-07-19 Thread Greg Hamilton
Ha ha, yes. To build mcs you need mcs. I think mcs has been ported to C#, hence you can compile the compiler with the compiler. If you download the mono tarball (mono-1.0.tar.gz) you can build and install the runtime and the compiler without having mcs installed. It works, but I seem to have m

2004-07-18 Thread Greg Hamilton
I tried to install Mono using apt-get. Seems, for PPC at least, there is an unmet dependancy: mono-assemblies-arch. Has anybody else tried running Mono on PPC Debian? Is there a solution to this problem, other than building from source?

Running YDL I was able to connect my digital camera to a USB port and then mount the VFAT filesystem on the Flash card as a SCSI device (/dev/sda1). No such luck as yet running Debian. I presume there's a kernel module or compile option to get this working. Does anybody have any idea what I nee
