a couple questions about debian woody on a powerbook g3

[dylan <dylan@iici.no-ip.org>]

Hi everyone,

i have recently installed debian stable on my powerbook g3 (which has a
500mhz g4 in it, so technically it is no longer a g3).

the kernel is 2.4.23 custom compiled from the benh tree.

1. i am noticing some strange entries in syslog:
---------------------
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-5
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-8
Jan 22 23:08:52 pbg3 last message repeated 29 times
---------------------

......could this be a module-related problem..?

2. i am running the pcmcia service so that i can use the usb pc card in the
slot. it seems to be working, but i am getting this in kern.log:
---------------------
Jan 20 23:32:05 pbg3 kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
Jan 20 23:32:05 pbg3 kernel:   options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
Jan 20 23:32:06 pbg3 kernel: Databook TCIC-2 PCMCIA probe: <7>IN from bad
port 242 at d59818c8
Jan 20 23:32:06 pbg3 kernel: IN from bad port 242 at d59819a0
Jan 20 23:32:06 pbg3 kernel: not found.
Jan 20 23:32:06 pbg3 kernel: ds: no socket drivers loaded!
Jan 20 23:39:17 pbg3 kernel: IN from bad port 393 at d5981918
---------------------

3. i seem to be getting some form of a video acceleration, and 3d support-
but it is obviously suboptimal... is there any way to get DRI support for my
video card? (Mach64 - ATI RAGE PRO LT)??


thanks in advance!!
