no sound + backlit keyboard not lighting up (PowerBook G4/Sarge)
'ello,
[ As usual, I have searched on Google and various list archives, but
haven't found anything that answers my questions... ]
Having just installed Sarge (and getting /dev/pmu to work :-)) I have
been fiddling around with ALSA. I managed to successfully insert the
module for the powermac sound card (the only seemingly appropriate one I
could find). Alsaconf was unable to set it up right, for some reason.
Anyway, I have the modules, but no sound. The device nodes are there
(/dev/dsp0 for example).
The system give the impression of working fine (no error messages at
all) but simply doesn't make any noise. According to Google I appear to
be along the right lines.
Any ideas?
Finally, for some reason pbbuttonsd is not supporting my backlit
keyboard -- all the tabs are greyed out in powerprefs. I know it works
'cos I've seen it in OS X -- am I missing another device node? I have
/dev/adb. I don't have APM emulation but I'd be surprised if I needed
that to get the keyboard to light up.
I have to say that, despite these little issues, I am extremely
impressed by how easy Sarge is to set up nowadays.
bye just now,
Matthew
