hello list, greetings to all! my first time on the powerpc list, figured it was a good thing to subsribe to since i've been busy this week converting three powerbooks (a pismo, lombard, and 2400c) from mac os to debian. everything went surprisingly swell for all except the pismo, which has been something of a pain to get configured properly. so i have a couple of questions to ask, and any help would be appreciated.
on the pismo, i'm running a 2.4.22 custom kernel with alsa modules installed. after a bunch of fooling around, everything is working great with two exceptions - sleep doesn't seem to work, and pbbuttons doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to. if i run apm -s, the powerbook shuts down, the LED starts blinking, but the screen doesn't turn off, and instead fades to black, then green, then pink -- looks kinda cool, but not exactly what i'm looking for. when i restart i get the 'Alarm clock' message but no beep, then the computer freezes, and no amount of waiting seems to cure it. i tried doing apm from a tty console, with similar results, except the screen freezes after a message about 'routing PCI interrupts" from the PCMCIA manager. i tried disabling the "replace PMUD=yes" option in pbbuttonsd.conf, but it doesn't make a difference. anyone aware of any conflicts between alsa and the pismo sleep function? or is sleep even supported on this machine? the exact same setup works like a charm on my lombard. the second problem is pbbuttonsd. using the same config file on my lombard works great, with the brightness buttons working fine (which is waht i'm really interested in). but using the same config file on my pismo, the brightness buttons do nothing at all. pbbuttonsd is definitely up and running (checked using ps | grep pbbuttons), the config file is the same as my lombard, but no dice. anyone experienced anything similar? thanks for any and all help! best, nick
