Help! I am evangelizing and have installed SUSE 7.1 on a friend's PISMO Powerbook. She is almost converted, but I need to fix a few things before she joins the flock.... ;-) *I want to get X4 running with acceleration. So far, X3 is loaded by default and a little play with SaX2 hasn't been much fun :-( Does anyone have any XFConfig tips that will work in 7.1? *The hardware clock is set about 5hrs early. I have been into YaST 1 and changed it to local time, NOT GMT, and to TIMEZONE=Japan (where we live), but still the clock after boot is wrong. *How do you stop the damn trackpad from acting as a mouse button? The slightest press of the trackpad opens and closes windows and it's very annoying. She is running KDE2. *What are the power saving options in SUSE 7.1? APM doesn't seem to be installed by default. *Is a Zip expansion bay supported? Is this a simple set up procedure like an external USB Zip drive is? Advice would be much appreciated. Are there any known issues with the PISMO and SUSE? Thanks very much for your help. Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org

Go in runlevel 3, try sax2 -af and do a reboot (I know, reboot sounds ugly but it helps to make sure that the framebuffer does not get confused). Then try again X. If needed use sax2 again for color etc. ...

Set the correct time, and do the following as root: hwclock --systohc Then delete the file /etc/adjtime . Does this help?

No, it is a black whole at the moment :-(
*Is a Zip expansion bay supported? Is this a simple set up procedure like an external USB Zip drive is? Advice would be much appreciated.
Should work if you add another entry in the /etc/fstab which fits the situation ...
Are there any known issues with the PISMO and SUSE?
No
Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks for the tips on the PISMO. Almost done... A couple more things....I understand that there is no way to get the PISMO to sleep, but there have been reports that PMUD works as a battery monitor. However, installing a LinuxPPC rpm (SUSE doesn't bother with it at all??) fails on a dependency and the --nodeps option installs it but it is unusable. Does anyone use Pmud on their SUSE PISMO? One other thing... in Gnome, GMC crashed with a seg fault. On both my iMac and the PISMO. cheers Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org

I've heard about the BenH Kernel that should work on that concerns... I guess you find it at http://kernel.xorsis.com/ if you are interested.

This seems to be a known bug which originates in old C-libraries the poeple from gnome.org used for compiling if I understood that right...

Ben did some work for sleep support and it appears to work on r128 iMacs and the Pismo. I will try to integrate it in the upcoming 2.4.5 kernel, in the meantime try his rsync tree: http://penguinppc.org/~benh/ Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Would be great if this would work also with the Pismo. That's the only thing I'm missing at the moment on my Linux install.... could you please announce it, when you've got this feature working? Thanx! Roland
