| 00:00.59 | msViolet | Thanks for the suggestion SimonRaven, unfortunately virtual consoles are still misbehaving |
| 00:01.33 | SimonRaven | oh well |
| 00:02.27 | msViolet | same ole linux on the ibook. =) |
| 00:03.20 | msViolet | I remember six years ago when it took at least a week just to get an X server up on my first ibook |
| 00:06.03 | msViolet | usually getting things working isn't a problem, just in this case I'm not sure what to include in my google terms |

| 04:29.50 | TTimo | hello |
| 04:30.00 | TTimo | anyone know what's involved in getting sound to work on an ibook G4 ? |
| 04:30.09 | TTimo | oh wait, topic |
| 04:32.02 | TTimo | well still, alsaconf didn't pickup anything |
| 04:32.11 | TTimo | is there more "manual config" effort involved? |
| 05:09.53 | pahartik | TTimo: "alsaconf" is not really relevant, just load "snd-powermac" module |
| 05:17.06 | TTimo | for some reason that one wasn't compile in with the default config |
| 05:22.03 | pahartik | TTimo: you need to make sure that "/boot/config-$(uname --release)" does have "CONFIG_SND_POWERMAC=m"... if not, reconfigure kernel and build again |
| 05:24.23 | TTimo | yep |
| 05:24.28 | TTimo | been doing that :) |

| 08:45.14 | micr0jackson | is there anything like psyco for the ppc arch ? |
| 08:45.33 | Corsac | psyco ? |
| 08:46.45 | micr0jackson | its a mod for python to speed things up |
| 08:46.55 | Corsac | ok |
| 08:47.05 | micr0jackson | its really good for x86 systems, but i havent been able to get it to work for ppc |

| 09:17.49 | johill | morning :) |
| 09:17.51 | Corsac | micr0jackson: what desktop environnment do you use ? |
| 09:18.31 | Corsac | hmh, kfreebsd-source-5.4 exists on ppc ? does it builds/is usable ?? |
| 09:18.41 | Corsac | i thought freebsd was x86 only |
| 09:22.37 | Corsac | x86 amd64 Alpha/AXP, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC |
| 09:22.47 | Corsac | no ppc, though :) |
| 09:23.14 | Corsac | but there is a port |
| 09:24.05 | Corsac | G4 ibooks/powerbooks - internal keyboard/mouse not supported, |
| 09:24.06 | Corsac | huhu |

| 10:00.19 | johill | Corsac: that most likely means no ADB |
| 10:00.25 | johill | so the USB stuff on the newer ones should be supported |
| 10:01.39 | Corsac | ok |
| 10:08.46 | Corsac | is pbbuttonsd creator idling around there ? |
| 10:11.37 | johill | afaik not |
| 10:12.11 | Corsac | k |
| 10:21.52 | Corsac | hmh, ok, so .config has change in 2.6.16, right ? |
| 10:25.31 | johill | mh? |
| 10:26.02 | Corsac | i have lots of questions, including ones from machine/platform, which I have already answered in my current config |
| 10:26.28 | *** join/#debianppc xwl (n=user@th131181.ip.tsinghua.edu.cn) |
| 10:26.29 | Corsac | but maybe it's the transition from powerpc/powerpc64 to ppc |
| 10:26.33 | Corsac | or something like that |
| 10:27.38 | johill | ah yeah you need to answer lots of those again since you're now compiling arch=powerpc insteead of ppc |
| 10:28.06 | Corsac | ok |
| 10:29.54 | Corsac | on albook there is no adb, only usb ? |
| 10:31.58 | johill | yeah but you still need to compile in adb |
| 10:32.07 | johill | beacuse the PMU is accessed through /dev/adb |
| 10:32.09 | johill | for pbbuttonsd :) |
| 10:32.18 | johill | that kernel code needs a cleanup. but... |
| 10:32.28 | johill | oh and the mouse emulation is adb only too |
| 10:32.59 | Q-FUNK | heck, the whole kernel needs a rewrite. whatever good there was in kernel 2.6 disappeared around 2.6.4 |
| 10:33.23 | johill | heh |
| 10:33.34 | Q-FUNK | I mean it. |
| 10:34.01 | Q-FUNK | we're back to all the same old 2.4 annoyances, such as hard-disk access disrupting keyboard and mouse |
