One of the reasons I didn't use ikeyd. I prefer ikeyd for many reasons, but the eject key just would not work with it. I could get the eject key to work in pbbuttonsd, so I used that instead..

Excellent, I'll have to look into running ikeyd again!

What's the Larsen effect?

Any idea of dri.sourceforge.net have any drivers yet for the 9600?

>From what I have managed to ascertain, the bogomips rating on the G4 gives a meaningful guide of how fast the computer is _actually_ running at. It seems that the bogomips and cpu clock speed are almost directly proportional (I get 761 bogomips when running at 765MHz, and my 667MHz TiBook gives a rating of 665.19, and I've seen that the 1GHz TiBooks got in the 990s).
This means that the 1.25GHz AlBook _should_ be getting a rating up in the 1200s, and a quick look in the developer docs reinforces this theory. The clock slewing on this machine slews the system down to 765MHz and 102MHz for the FSB according to the Apple developer notes. Ben was the person that supplied me with most of this info, and he will write a driver for this machine in cpufreq, but don't expect it anytime soon - he doesn't have access to an albook last time I checked ;)

I thought it was some sort of yenta socket (whatever that is).... Anyway, I have no need for PCMCIA but I'll try it sometime anyway..

It's a pain the bum having to carry around a USB dongle just to get WiFi working. I'd rather just wait until someone managed to get the OS X driver to load in linux or something - WiFi isn't *that* important to me :)

I'll have a look at this when I've finished installing all the stuff on it.. (about 4 hours left now...)
