I posted all the files you need at http://isadora.homelinux.net/debian/powerbook/ You need kernel 2.6.3 (you can find a .deb of my kernel, the 2.6.5 is under testing, so use 2.6.3 :) You need also to get my sources.list and you need to install the following packages: xbase-clients 4.3.99pre10-2 miscellaneous X clients xfonts-100dpi 4.3.99pre10-2 100 dpi fonts for X xfonts-75dpi 4.3.99pre10-2 75 dpi fonts for X xfonts-base 4.3.99pre10-2 standard fonts for X xfonts-scalable 4.3.99pre10-2 scalable fonts for X xfree86-common 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure xfs 4.3.99pre10-2 X font server xlibmesa-gl 4.3.99pre10-2 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] xlibs 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System client libraries xlibs-data 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System client data xserver-common 4.3.99pre10-2 files and utilities common to all X servers xserver-xfree86 4.3.99pre10-2 the XFree86 X server xutils 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System utility programs xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk The XFree86 X server [DRI trunk] Download my XF86Config-4 and enjoy... Another tip, in pbbuttonsd directory you have the latest pbbuttonsd-server version (CVS), so you will have keyboard backlight working. Enjoy you PB!
