greetings, and some questions
hello list,
greetings to all! my first time on the powerpc list, figured it was a
good thing to subsribe to since i've been busy this week converting
three powerbooks (a pismo, lombard, and 2400c) from mac os to debian.
everything went surprisingly swell for all except the pismo, which has
been something of a pain to get configured properly. so i have a couple
of questions to ask, and any help would be appreciated.
on the pismo, i'm running a 2.4.22 custom kernel with alsa modules
installed. after a bunch of fooling around, everything is working great
with two exceptions - sleep doesn't seem to work, and pbbuttons doesn't
seem to do what it's supposed to. if i run apm -s, the powerbook shuts
down, the LED starts blinking, but the screen doesn't turn off, and
instead fades to black, then green, then pink -- looks kinda cool, but
not exactly what i'm looking for. when i restart i get the 'Alarm clock'
message but no beep, then the computer freezes, and no amount of waiting
seems to cure it. i tried doing apm from a tty console, with similar
results, except the screen freezes after a message about 'routing PCI
interrupts" from the PCMCIA manager. i tried disabling the "replace
PMUD=yes" option in pbbuttonsd.conf, but it doesn't make a difference.
anyone aware of any conflicts between alsa and the pismo sleep function?
or is sleep even supported on this machine? the exact same setup works
like a charm on my lombard.
the second problem is pbbuttonsd. using the same config file on my
lombard works great, with the brightness buttons working fine (which is
waht i'm really interested in). but using the same config file on my
pismo, the brightness buttons do nothing at all. pbbuttonsd is
definitely up and running (checked using ps | grep pbbuttons), the
config file is the same as my lombard, but no dice. anyone experienced
anything similar?
thanks for any and all help!
best,
nick
