Can you try to identify the difference between those "2 types" of
ibooks, via /proc/cpuinfo and lspci... do they have the same rev of
video chip for example, and what CPU do they have ? Is the motherboard
code (PowerBookX,Y) the same ?
I'll try to grab users with such machines during LCA next week and see
if I can get them to work.
Ben.
P.S. Ton anglais est tout a fait comprehensible, pas pire que le mien :)
