RE: [PLUG] iBook Linux compatibility
|
I haven't ever used an iBook with linux, but, most of this would depend on
your model. But, as far as I know, USB is supported; Firewire is not; Video
acceleration works on my 99 powerbook, but i don't know beyond that; as for
sleep/wake up, not sure. However, the YDL page for iBooks is
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/hardware/breakdown/ibook.shtml
hope it helps

Subject: [PLUG] iBook Linux compatibility
Well, at first I was enamored with OS X - but now that I have been using
for several weeks - I'm finding Aqua to be rather unstably and cumbersome.
I had Linux running on this but only for a VERY short time (I needed the
local disk space to handle the movie files I was working with, so I gave
up the linux part). I'm considering putting linux back on - which will
be major effort to reinstall not only linux but OS X too. Before I do, I'm
wondering what the REAL compatibilty is like - assuming I will use the
latest image from YellowDog.
Particularily how is -
-airport support
-USB support (plug and play?)
-FireWire support
-video acceleration
-power management (does it sleep/wake properly?)
Anyone using an iBook (mine is dual USB 700Mhz) with Linux can tell me how
well this stuff _really_ works?
Thanks
