debian sarge on new iBook
Hi,
I'm new in debian and last week I bought a new iBook G4.
I installed debian sarge and I'm running on 2.6.8-powerpc kernel (the one coming
with the installation).
After installation I found some hints on the list and got my iBook run X (Kde)
correctly;
brightness and eject buttons work and sleep functionality seems to work too
with
pbbuttonsd_0.6.6-3_powerpc.
Running lsmod I can see pmacsound modules loaded but Sound is not working at all
ryujin@littlepenguin:~$ lsmod

Should I have to download another kernel version/patch or recompile the 2.6.8
kernel with other options?
What about internal modem? Is there a way to make it work or is like the one
coming with powerbooks (I think I read something on the list about soft modems
on powerbooks).
Thank you in advance for your help
Matte
