[gentoo-ppc-user] powerbook 12" lcd+CRT

[Matias Pablo Brutti]

Hi , I recently got an Apple Powerbook 12" and  I being trying to make
the videoout to work with the CRT I manage to use the CRT in console
mode , but when I go to the X , the xorg start on the laptop monitor and
not on the monitor attached any idea why that could be happening ?
Is there a way to use them in xinerama ?

Also , any news on airport extreme modules ? should I get a usb wireless
and what should it be to be safe that it will work on ppc + Gentoo linux.

thanks


Matias

Airport Extreme is not supported yet but there is work in progress.
You may want to have a look at http://linux-bcom4301.sf.net/.

I personally use the D-Link DWL-122 USB adaptor. It works fine with 
kernel 2.6.11 and linux-wlan-ng 0.2.1_pre23 (but don't use it under
OS X - the mac-driver caused several kernel panics here).

No, sorry, I haven't, but I'm sure someone else has.
