| 00:21.51 | gnarface | ok i'm back |
| 00:23.01 | gnarface | still looking for advice for an old g4 500mhz titanium powerbook on any tips for configuring fan control or temperature sensing, or to see if there are any hot tips for optimizing touchpad or xorg configurations |
| 00:47.34 | *** join/#debianppc jones_ (~jones@adsl-69-106-231-214.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) |
| 01:02.48 | gnarface | actually any pointers on configuring stuff for a touchpad like 2-finger drag and acceleration etc in xorg would be appreciated for this thing - i follow the docs but the logs are telling me its ignoring the kbd and mouse drivers altogether - something about "AllowEmptyInput is on" |
| 01:05.14 | pahartik | gnarface: Do you have thermal control interface driver module loaded? |

| 03:43.23 | gnarface | what type of used powerbook would 50$ buy? |
| 03:44.25 | jones_ | depends where you get it |
| 03:53.12 | gnarface | anyone know the trick for getting multi-display support working on that g4 titianium powerbook? |
| 03:53.20 | gnarface | i swear i did it once |
| 03:53.32 | gnarface | the 500mhz one |
| 03:54.29 | pahartik | gnarface: Just configure it on runtime with "xrandr"? |
| 03:56.12 | *** join/#debianppc vaidy_ (~sv@59.92.167.212) |
| 03:56.38 | gnarface | pahartik: i had no idea such a thing could be done. i've been using xorg.conf |
| 03:56.40 | gnarface | xinerama |
| 03:56.43 | gnarface | is that bad?" |
| 03:56.56 | gnarface | i thought it worked at one point |
| 03:57.01 | gnarface | i was just uncommenting my old configs |
| 03:59.12 | pahartik | gnarface: On "iBook G4" I use "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 75 --right-of LVDS" and "xrandr --output VGA-0 --off" very often... |
| 03:59.42 | gnarface | woah |
| 03:59.44 | gnarface | hmm. |
| 03:59.49 | gnarface | sounds scary |
| 03:59.52 | gnarface | ever seen it blow up? |
| 04:02.11 | gnarface | is there a way to get xrandr to list the outputs it sees? |
| 04:02.33 | pahartik | gnarface: "xrandr" shows current state of things |
| 04:03.10 | gnarface | pahartik: hmm. it only shows one, i think |
| 04:03.59 | gnarface | http://pastebin.com/6QU3AUey |
| 04:04.17 | gnarface | do i need m3mirror? |
| 04:04.34 | pahartik | gnarface: "DDC" response is required for display capabilities to be detected |
| 04:05.16 | gnarface | hmm |
| 04:08.13 | gnarface | so i had this xorg.conf |
| 04:08.23 | gnarface | and i had this program called m3mirror |
| 04:08.30 | pahartik | gnarface: Oh, you have "default", while I have "LVDS", "VGA-0" and "S-video" |
| 04:08.46 | gnarface | oh |
| 04:08.52 | gnarface | this is a series 1 powerbook |
| 04:09.03 | gnarface | it might need special configuration |
| 04:11.00 | gnarface | when i use m3mirror, something happens on the second output |
| 04:11.45 | gnarface | but all that happens is a white screen is displayed with some text in the upper left corner |

| 06:34.32 | Nalle_ | Morning |
| 06:34.41 | jones | hi |
| 06:43.08 | gnarface | hi Nalle_ |
| 06:43.24 | gnarface | hey Nalle_ you ever install debian on a g4-500 titanium powerbook? |
| 06:43.25 | Nalle_ | hi jones, gnarface |
| 06:43.47 | Nalle_ | No, sorry. |
| 06:43.59 | jones | how about a powerbook 3400? |
| 06:44.03 | Nalle_ | Only on an old 603 and G3 Macs |
| 06:44.09 | jones | mmm |
| 06:44.29 | Nalle_ | the latter of which acts as my home server :) |
| 06:46.30 | gnarface | hmm. the older powerbook MAY be relevant |
| 06:47.00 | gnarface | for one of my various issues at least; i'm trying to figure out how i got the secondary display output to work on this thing |
| 06:47.10 | gnarface | it has a vga adapter on the back |
| 06:47.46 | gnarface | was there some sort of trick with your monitor output that required you closing the lid while it boots or something like that? |
| 06:49.02 | Nalle_ | You can configure that, atleast from MacOS, what it does when the lid is closed. I would imagine it is something similar on Linux side |
| 06:55.16 | gnarface | that's not exactly my problem |
| 06:55.30 | gnarface | my problem is i have a config that i could have sworn i had working some time ago |
| 06:55.56 | gnarface | and now i'm trying it again and it doesn't work, i'm trying to troubleshoot it and thinking back on all the weird crap i was doing to it |
| 07:02.00 | Nalle_ | Cannot help you with that. I got a iBook G4 but it is running OS X now waiting for MorphOS support :) |
