So I decided it was time to get a laptop and I got a powerbook. Naturally

It happened to me once on my ibook g4: mouse didn't work. The only
solution I had found (but I'm not able to reproduce since it never
happened anymore) was to reset PRAM, pressing apple-alt-p-r during
boot.
I don't know why but it worked.

Er, yes. I even thought explicitly "don't miss and put an x instead of a

Another question. Fuser indicates that pbbuttonsd is somehow tied to

laptop specific buttons and stuff. Is pbbuttonsd necessary to use a mouse?

Hello,
Since I have bought my Powerbook G4 laptop and installed Debian on it I
had some frustrations:
- accelerated video - not working - currently the radeon drivers do not
support [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] on ppc - not fixable until new drivers?
- my bluetooth mouse is not working. I saw it
