Bug#617626: Status as of the ides of March.

[PhillyG <phillygmac@gmail.com>]

I can now turn off the screen using fn+F1 (two keys on the iBook keyboard).  That may or may not be because I installed pmud and pmud-utils.
I can also boot into Mac OS X.

That means that the only issue left is that I can't use the local display in debian.

This is important to me because sometimes my ssh connection closes and I can't re-open it. I can tell that the system is up as I can access the web page. It is almost as though the ssh port closes. Without a local display, I do not know how to troubleshoot this problem.
