Hi, so... I got a brand new powerbook 12" from my institute but cannot stand MacOSX... I gave fink + ports a chance but it's too widgy for me and I hate the terminal they have... Installing the ports takes ages and the result is not nice and fragile...
I want GNU/Linux (debian) on my ppc box. Now I am working from an ubuntu installation (breezy) but have two main problems: 1- An external screen will not work (at least I tried to give a talk and the video projector was not showing anything) 2- Sleep is not working Let's put it in this way: I'd be happy if the external screen would work on GNU/Linux . I need this for my work. Sleep is not so important, but would be nice yet, of course --------------- cat /proc/cpuinfo yields processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 749MHz revision : 0.5 (pvr 8003 0105) bogomips : 747.52 machine : PowerBook6,8 motherboard : PowerBook6,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 12") pmac flags : 0000001a L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 1280MB pmac-generation : NewWorld --------------- I've tried to attach an external screen but it didn't work, even booting the laptop with it attached to it Do I really have to work with MacOSX?! I do need the external screen for my work, because I spend about 10 hours per day in front of a pc, which will be this PPC laptop, but it happens to be a 12" one and I don't feel like burning out my eyes, so I WANT an attached external screen to it... I have a big one close to it, on my desk, and I would like to use it... Any hint? At least an estimate of how long I will have to wait until at least the external screen is working under GNU/Linux? thanks, Pau -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
