12" G4/800 iBook video question

Tue Jul 13 17:20:04 2004

thanks David, I've now got video working... but the sound stopped working. 

I tried the YDL Linux 2.6.5 kernel first, which got the video working,
but killed the sound for some reason (I think i missed downloading the
modules too so I'm hoping getting those will help)... I'll try the
ibook one to see if it works any better (though it seems to be for the
G3 iBooks and not the G4 ones).
