If trackpad can't do anything for it, you could try adjusting the sensitivty in one of the control panels. There was an issue at one time with trackpad "jitters" on waking from sleep, but pmud was patched for that. > Another bug i've found is with the ADSLspeed touch pro modem setup.

You might try posting those issue in Mandrake forum and see if the maintainer of that package would respond. I also don't know why pmud is so problematic for you. If I recall you don't have the latest greatest ibook right? Power management did not work correctly on the new TiBook, but these things are a matter of letting the development catch up with the hardware. The new pmud is up on my web space, if anyone want's to try it. http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict > i also can't play audio CD's.

It's a known issue that Apple removed the analog connection between the CDROM and soundcard on newer machines and you have to use the cdreader plugin to play CD's. It's also known that xmms and supermount are somewhat less than compatible. These issues also exist on x86. I tested the cdreader plugin on the TiBook Phil lent me, and it seemed to work fine.
