AW: Re: YDL4 on an iBook G3

[Keitsch, Krischan]

Hello Tony,

I am running Fedora Core 3 (rawhide) on an iBook G3 800MHZ Kernel 2.6.9-something and I made similar experiences:
I believe the power management program pbbuttonsd is responsible for this.
I had to compile pbbuttons from source since it was not installed or avaible by default.
Consider upgrading to the latest version: http://pbbuttons.sourceforge.net/
Maybe that helps - but it is not a guarantee: I use an external keyboard and a external mouse via usb. Every time I press a key on the external keyboard to wake up the iBook it freezes (black screen with some output from pbbuttons or from the kernel)

Not a perfect solution yet - however pbbuttons is heading the right way. It is getting better and better every version. [Thank you Matthias Grimm!!!]

I re-installed again and this time X to come up O.K.  I am not sure what is differenet about the installation.

Putting the iBook to sleep by closing the lid appears to go to sleep normally, however waking from sleep by opening the lid causes, some messages about waking ethernet/aiport and then it does not respond afterwords.

I have not written them down, but they read similar to a problem I was experiencing with Ubuntu.  I believe it is related to the 2.6 kernel, but I am not positive.

Can anyone else confirm this problem with a G3 iBook?

Tony
