I gave it a try on my very recent Apple powerbook G4. Information about my machine, dmesg output etc. can be found at http://seehuhn.de/comp/powerbook/2.6.11-0.1/ . The following things did not work: 1) the trackpad does not work :-( Using the trackpad has no visible effect, no input arrives at /dev/input/mice, the X pointer does not move etc. 2) sound does not work Everything seems fine at first: alsamixer sees controls labelled "master", "headphon", "Mix Boos", "PC Speak", "Auto Mut", "Beep". Doing "cat something.wav >/dev/audio" or similar takes the appropriate amount of time. But no sound is actually played :-( 3) the "fn" key emits no scan code I tried "showkey -s" on the console. Pressing "fn" does not result in any output. 4) suspend does not work I tried the following shell script: #!/bin/sh rmmod ohci1394 rmmod eth1394 rmmod ieee1394 rmmod hci_usb /etc/init.d/hotplug stop echo disk > /sys/power/state When the final line was executed the machine hung. The cursor on the text console was still blinking, but all key presses were ignored and I had to do a hard reset. The dmesg output contains the following lines which look like error messages: - no idea about this: Can't get bus-range for /pci@f2000000/cardbus@13, assuming it starts at 0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19.0 - graphics seem to work, so maybe the following is harmless? radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): Invalid ROM signature 303 should be0xaa55 - the following is known, I think: adt746x: Thermostat bus: 0, address: 0x2e, limit_adjust: 0, fan_speed: -1 adt746x: Thermostat failed to read config from bus 0 ! - no idea about this: ohci1394: fw-host0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000! - maybe the following is connected to the trackpad problem input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad] on usb-0001:10:1a.0-2 HID device not claimed by input or hiddev usbhid: probe of 1-2:1.1 failed with error -5 As far as I can see, all of these problems also occur for a vanilla 2.6.11 kernel. I hope this helps, Jochen -- http://seehuhn.de/
