I've got a Powerbook 12" 1.33 GHz G4, so it might be slightly different
from yours.
This should be easy to setup. Sorry if you've already tried (I'm _very_
new to the mailing lists), just follow the instructions at
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/powerbook.en.php
and you will be able to get it working.

What's wrong with the touchpad? It works fine for me right out of the
box. Unless you're referring to Apple's scrolling touch pad, which is
enabled by Apple's driver and isn't available on Linux.

Installing the module works fine for me. Here's my output when I do
install the module.
debian:/home/pgoh# modprobe therm_adt746x
debian:/home/pgoh# tail /var/log/messages

Since you're not getting that, it might be because you have newer
hardware and we'll need to wait for one of the developers to come and
make head or tail of the data you've just posted.
