There's no Linux kernel officially compiled for Debian that is targeted at powerbooks only. Macbooks (pro or not) does not use the ams driver. Instead, I believe they use the applesmc driver available from http://www.mactel-linux.org/ (some of it adopted officially in 2.6.21 but not yet the applesmc driver, it seems). - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWqU9n7DbMsAkQLgRAtjVAJ0eNp+qrVYDD8a2ErXSTys0Z+LbPwCdHFZN Q6Y+eg8p9HSNmDwNdmwWr/s= =s2dU -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I see no problem simply enabling it globally, and let the Linux code resolve the architectures relevant or not for actual compilation. If theoretically some day the code is enhanced to support more architectures (like if it is merged with the x86-specific applesmc) the change is silently included in Debian. Only reason I see for limiting a configuration scope is if it is technically possible to build for more architectures but causes problems (like some networking options disabled for arm that I suspect is too slow to make sense there even if technically possible). - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWq3Ln7DbMsAkQLgRArfnAJ9b96wEmYAeFhg5JuThoCqLavMMGQCghn33 kVwCzmvnvnErS5mMJnNhPrs= =vgKQ -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Ah yes, I'm complety for enabling it globally, but I tought maybe kernel team wouldn't want to do it and would restrict it to a list of supported archs.
