Well, I have an Alu 15" 1.25Ghz with superdrive with Debian and MacOS X.
I've got the same.
Distribution: Debian/Unstable using Gnome 2.4
Kernel: 2.6.1-ben1
<...cut...> all this hardware works for me too
CPU frequency change: working
Sound: Working
You've forgoten audio CD with xine (for example), or xmms (+
xmms-cdaudio plugin)
Well, you will be part of minority of minority, but everybody want's to
be member of a select club :))))
There are only a few things that I am missing:
Native Wifi support
You already can forgot the airport extreme card : this one will never
work (without ugly hacking, I mean) under Linux.
3D aceleration (you can't see DVD or avis in full screen)
I'm not sure you need 3D acceleration for see DVD and avis : with xine I
already can do it. avis too. fullscreen give nearly 40% of load to the
processor.
External monitor
Yes, important for me : I need this to make my courses...For now I'm
using OpenOffice.org with Mac OS X,but if I coul'd use Linux... :-)
Modem
fu... "winmodem". Why di Apple compromise himself with such hardware...
[ANN] : this chipset is for sale for me :-)
Sleep support
I think it's the most important for a laptop : sleep support AND
external monitor.
My question : can you use MOL with this laptop. Every time I've tested,
the compilation was aborted because a fb problem (userland things or
something like that...)
FYI : mol obtained with bk...
...autogen...configure...make...but, for now, no make libimport because
make simply abort with a lot of errors.
Regards,
eric
