I've uncompressed it into a directory helix in my home directory, and there's a whole lot of stuff there including a Bin directory with an executable file called setup that I guess I'm supposed to run, but I can't run it from there, and don't know either where to put it or how to change my paths or whatever it is so I can run it from the command line. Sorry for asking such basic questions... OK, I got it figured out. I checked my $PATH variable and found I needed to either move the helix stuff into e.g. /usr/bin, or else on the command line just type the complete path to the setup prog. This worked, and I got Helix installed. Now, never satisfied, I want to get streaming audio from sites that only provide RealPlayer or WMP formats! These are proprietary, and so not supported by Helix. Helix kindly tells me I need to download RealPlayer 11, but of course when I look there I find that while Linux packages are available in RPM or DEB formats, it's x86 only (as usual). You can use mplayer and mozilla-mplayer (debian packages). You need realmedia codecs. Two options for installing the codecs: - run /usr/share/mplayer/scripts/binary_codecs.sh install - install Linux PPC 20071007 codecs in your /usr/lib/codecs from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html You'll need installing the package libstdc++.so.5.

Tout est parfaitement (et facilement configuré), sauf la connexion sans-fil. J'ai laissé sur un site les résultats de différentes commandes entrées dans le Terminal pour résoudre le problème, mais là, je sèche... Vous trouverez ces indications sur le forum de Macbidouille : http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=276610. J'y vois que tu as résolu ton problème. Juste pour compléter : Les noyaux 2.6.17 à 2.6.23 contient seulement le driver bcm43xx qui a besoin d'un firmware v3. Le nouveau driver b43 (à partir de la version 2.6.24 du noyau) nécessite un firmware v4. Pour le firmware v3, on utilise normalement le paquet bcm43xx-fwcutter, pas le paquet b43-fwcutter même si ce dernier marche aussi (ce dernier installe les deux versions de firmware). Sinon, tout est très bien expliqué dans http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 Cordialement, Bin Je vous remercie de votre attention et de votre aide.

The latest SVN version segfaults at the same point where the other version hangs. This segfault was also reported on the upstream mailinglist. AFAIK there is no fix for it atm.

Re: Will using kernel 2.6.24 make my laptop faster?

But I have been fairly curious as to the advantages of compiling the most recent kernels. As I understand, the new kernel has a new scheduler (CFS). Haven't seen much benchmarks but the early ones I have seen showed some fairly decent performance gains. Next, I am using Debian Etch on a old 500MHz PPC system. Thus, if there any performance improvements, they probably would be noticeable on old system like this. And finally, there should be no risks in compiling a new kernel right? If I am not mistaken, I can choose (at start-up) which one to boot from. Actually one more thing, any benefits to doing this? Besides the geek satisfaction that all of us get from compiling a new kernel.

Append the following three lines to your /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot.
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode =87
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode =88
then, F11 (87) and F12 (88) should be useable... you might get some
more info from these two threads... and in general google ('linux

Yes.

git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
cd xf86-video-ati
./autogen.sh
make
I tested this, using ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
But I had a problem : fvwm can't remember window size changes for applications.
So back to debian experimental package + two paches from git.
[from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12552]

or better that one:
-
3. git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
4. cd xf86-video-ati
5. git checkout origin/randr-1.2 (Git-Version 1.5)
git checkout randr-1.2 (Git-Version 1.4)
This means you use randr-1.2 branch (last change 3 months ago) .
See http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati.git;a=summary
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati.git;a=shortlog;h=randr-1.2
6. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr (or any home-directory, but then you have to
copy the files manual to the correct directory)
7. make
[from http://www.nabble.com/radeon-tv-out-tf4221095.html#a12103267]
What's the difference between the 2 methods above, i.e. what does this

different, compared to the first way of compiling ... ?

Apparently, somebody had satisfying results using
Option XkbRules xorg
Option XkbModel ibook
Option XkbLayout fr
Option XkbOptionslv3:lwin_switch
This config is for xkb-data = 0.8.13 (not in etch).
Two solutions :
- Using xkb-data from etch and your fr_new
- Installing xkb-data from unstable and configuring all in xorg.conf
(do not need fr_new)
With xorg, the file fr is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/

Normally, FK13 is function key nr. 13, so if you have such a key on your keyboard, you can run xev and check its keycode.

2) package console-data
I use mac-fr-ext (/usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-fr-ext.kmap.gz) from
package console-data, which enables me to switch to X by ctrl + Apple
+ F7 and to write special characters using alt/option key in a
console.
With the xkb-data's default setting, I switch to console by ctrl +
alt/option + Fx, and write special characters with Apple or KP_Enter
key.
I have no preference among these two default settings.
Best regards,
Bin
and will reach mirrors in almost a day.
This version is very similar to 0.8-12exp4, I believe
that it is pretty solid, but needs more polishing.
We can discuss to change default settings and broken
layouts, but keep in mind that since most layouts
were unusable, people now have different habits and
we cannot make everybody happy with default settings.
Please, test it, send feedback if something does not
work or can be improved, write documentation for other
powerpc users that could be included in xkb-data, etc.
Thanks for your help.

Giuseppe has a good summary of the procedure we followed to get it working at http://www.fisica.unipa.it/~lavaget/ubuntuae/ I have found that iwlist scanning isn't very reliable.

I found that if I let dhclient run on one console and run iwlist eth1 scan in another console then the dhclient immediately is able to get an IP address. So my question is... is there any option that I can pass to dhclient that will disable the up/down of interface if it is already up? Can someone please help?

Re: xorg-6.9.0
Hi, I don't have this problem. I am using a vanilla kernel 2.6.15 + xdm + fvwm. I have a ibook : $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 599MHz revision: 0.1 (pvr 8003 0101) bogomips: 598.01 machine : PowerBook6,5 motherboard : PowerBook6,5 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (iBook G4) pmac flags : 001b L2 cache: 512K unified memory : 512MB pmac-generation : NewWorld regards, Bin On 1/8/06, Elimar Riesebieter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, last night I upgraded to xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2. First I had to do a ldconfig by hand, because startx was complaining about missing libs. Starting X then freezes my PowerBook5,6 completely. No net, no console. So I had to hard reset the machine. I tried the following: Recreating a xorg.conf by dpkg-reconfigure - no success Switching from ati(radeon) driver to fbdev - no success, but no freeze. Switching from 24 to 16 DefaultDepth + fbdev - no success, X shows the wm splashscreen with an cross cursor similar to the twm one but shuts down after a while. Installing libgl1-mesa-dri in the hope r300 is used with radeon driver - frozen machine. Are there significant changes from 6.8.2 to 6.9.0 which I have overseen? Elimar -- what IMHO then?

Re: Linux/PowerPC-specific Firefox 1.5 bugs?

Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
On 1/3/06, Aaron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am close to having the bcm43xx driver working but I am now stuck and could really do with some pointers. THE SHORT VERSION: 1. I have successfully built and installed bcm43xx, ieee80211softmac and bcm43xx-fwcutter (one error extracting firmware file bcm43xx_microcode11.fw). These are the latest daily snapshots (20060102) 2. I can manually ifconfig ethX up the wireless interface and see my very open wireless network with iwlist ethX scan. 3. SoftMac seems to associate (from dmesg output). 4. dhclient ethX fails to get an IP address but I can manually set an IP address (in the correct range) with ifconfig. 5.
