| 15:16.48 | markun | I'm not sure if this is the right place to look, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction |
| 15:16.55 | markun | I installed debian on my ibook G4, and when I enable "adaptive tehcnologies" I just get an empty screen after loging in |
| 15:17.10 | markun | I see no message in 'dmesg' or /var/log/Xorg.log which tells me what goes wrong |
| 15:22.54 | koan | what is adaptive technologies? |
| 15:23.29 | markun | it was some setting in gnome |
| 15:23.58 | markun | I had to enable it to get the 'right' mouse button working by long pressing the only button |
| 15:24.27 | koan | ok |
| 15:24.58 | markun | right mouse button emulation rather |
| 15:25.11 | koan | if you know which package installs the adaptive technologies system, you could remove it with apt-get remove --purge bla |
| 15:25.15 | koan | and then reinstall |
| 15:25.59 | koan | reinstall the package, that is |
| 15:26.15 | markun | ok, let me search |
| 15:26.23 | markun | man, even TWM doesn't start |
| 15:26.41 | koan | hm |
| 15:26.49 | markun | but if remove all the .* folders I can loging again |
| 15:26.50 | koan | that sounds like something more serious than a gnome issue |
| 15:27.15 | markun | I don't know where to look for any errors |
| 15:27.42 | koan | maybe adaptive technologies has changed your xorg.conf |
| 15:27.42 | markun | on my desktop I use XFCE, but normally errors are logged in xorg log |
| 15:27.48 | markun | could be |
| 15:28.01 | koan | and this change could make your X crash |
| 15:28.13 | markun | but I don't think so, since I can create a new user and log in fine |
| 15:28.22 | koan | ok |
| 15:28.26 | markun | the mouse also works |
| 15:29.14 | koan | I'm not using Gnome, so I can't help with the specifics |
| 15:29.50 | markun | thanks anyway |
| 15:30.27 | markun | I usually don't run it either, but I got this ibook from my little brother and looked for linux distros I could install on it |
| 15:30.50 | markun | when I was installing debian it asked me if I wanted to enable 'desktop' or something and it installed Gnome. |
| 15:31.28 | markun | but so far I've had a lot of problems, so maybe I should just try something else |
| 15:31.39 | markun | I also have an OSX DVD here for example |
| 15:32.13 | koan | well OS X is fine, but over the years I shifted completely to Linux |
| 15:32.29 | markun | I've shifted completely to FreeBSD |
| 15:32.32 | koan | it depends of course on your use |
| 15:32.40 | markun | but thought I'd give linux a try again :) |
| 15:32.44 | koan | :-) |
| 15:32.52 | koan | FreeBSD on a Mac or a PC? |
| 15:32.57 | markun | PC |
| 15:33.15 | koan | it's on my TODO list :-) |
| 15:33.49 | markun | used to run linux, then someone told me to try FreeBSD and installed it on my PC. Can't say it's much better, but you get used to almost anything :) |
| 15:34.02 | markun | that was in 2002 I think |
| 15:35.10 | koan | my first Linux experience was Yellow Dog Linux 1.2 on a iMac in 2000 |
| 15:35.29 | ekl | i was young |
| 15:35.58 | ekl | uhm.. |
| 15:36.05 | markun | first time for me was Slackware in 1995 |
| 15:36.11 | ekl | as you may guess, i wrote in the wrong inputbar :P |
| 15:36.29 | markun | on my 486 I think :) |
| 15:36.59 | markun | ekl: you could have been young in 2000 ;) |

| 15:37.59 | ekl | i was |
| 15:38.09 | ekl | and i was getting grazy for ydl on a powermac g4 |
| 15:38.12 | ekl | crazy |
| 15:38.38 | ekl | after 5 months ydl answered my mail about "why the hell your f*cking installer crashes on my machine?" |
| 15:39.09 | ekl | and they answered something like "sorry, you were right.. there was a bug; download this and let us know if it works: <link to new installer>" |
| 15:39.36 | ekl | months later i did it |
| 15:39.49 | ekl | few months later, i switched to debian :P |
| 15:55.45 | Vonoff | any of you guys use(d) linux on an imec rev-a? |
| 15:59.54 | koan | no, I used it on a iMac DV SE |
| 16:00.29 | Vonoff | hmm |
| 16:00.40 | Vonoff | i can't get xorg to work |
| 16:01.15 | markun | ok, one more questions |
| 16:01.24 | markun | I installed powernow to save some battery |
| 16:01.46 | markun | it gets started when I boot, but the CPU stays at the same level |
| 16:02.13 | markun | only when I restart powernowd it changes my CPU speed dynamically |
| 16:02.35 | markun | do you guys know what could be wrong? is there a better tool to do this? |
| 16:04.38 | markun | and finally: when I leave my ibook alone for a while the screen turns off and I have to enter my password to get in. After that the touchpad refuses to work properly. |
| 16:05.01 | markun | I can move the pointer, but when I let go of the pad the pointer jumps back to the old position |
