Hi.
Which PowerBook are you working with? If it is one of the new ones, my
understanding is that you either need to revert to the Xpmac server or upgrade
your kernel to 2.2.12. You might want to take a look at...
http://www.loomer.com/linuxppc/#lombard issues
where they give a little more detail. I haven't actually tried the new kernel yet,
but I will probably try to find some time to do it later this week if you are
interested in the results.
