Hey everyone, I have recently installed debian squeeze on an older Powerbook G4 1ghz, and have been having a number of issues, relating to both video and the fan. The fan issue hasn't really gone anywhere. The video issue, well... I tried using the following "known working config" for my laptop: http://mac.linux.be/content/xorgconf-powerbook-g41ghz-17-inch-nvidia-geforce-440-go-64mb-lucid-lynx
Using this config, after rebooting, the entire system freaks out. The system locks up, and the screen gets a ton of tears, almost as if the video card was overheated. You can't switch vty's, and pretty much no input is accepted (or at least looks like it's accepted). Now, using the exact same config, but switching nouveau to nv, everything works perfectly. The issue is, there's still a ton of tearing when moving windows. I'd really like to switch over to nouveau because I think it will provide at least a bit better performance. Then again the laptop runs slowly even with OSX, so I'm wondering if its just an old POS - youtube videos aren't even watchable! Any thoughts would be appreciated.
