Hi everyone, I am running both FC3 and FC4T1 on my iBook 800 Mhz G4.
I've been using fedora for a while and I have been mucking with fedora
on PPC for a few months and posting on the ppc forums at
fedoraforum.org. I consider myself fairly well versed as i have solved
every other problem i've come up with (except the damn skin not showing
up in mplayer from the FC3 rpm i used). I am trying to set the ibook up
to use the vga out and to have wireless from a wireless adapter (since
the airport extreme is not uspported).
Does any one know any good, pref. cheap wireless usb adapters that are
compatible with fedora on PPC, I don't know much about usb wireless
adapters and I didn't see a list ? pref. one of the thumbdrive sized
ones or a smaller one with a little cable going to it. Can I basically
use any adapter that works on fedora x86?
Also. I am trying to get it set up to mirror the display to the video
out so I can hook it up to the KVM on my desk (which works, i can see
video on the display that looks like its from open firmware. . .
something about initializing fake display and "calling quiesce").
However I can't get xorg to seem to use the monitor, i have set up my
xorg.conf using system-config-display for dual monitor using the radeon
9200. everything looks good, and fairly similar to my x86 box, is this
just not supported on PPC. . . or this peice of hardware yet?
Thanks ahead for any input,
Andres Garcia
