Re: Install mini-iso and kernel available for new AlBook

So obviously pbbuttonsd needs to be adapted to make the trackpad access
device configurable. Or at least it should tolerate the absence of
/dev/adb.
Matthias, are you reading?

Yes, found mention of it in pbbuttonsd's conf file. But it needs i2c,
and I'm not sure I compiled everzthing in that's required here. Have to
check.

Yes, ATI indeed. Guaranteed lack of sleep through NVidia chip would have
been a reason to not buy the machine. But I didn't necessarily expect it
to work more or less out-of-the-box.
Although, I must say, second wake it locked up, so 50% success only so
far :(
Cheers
