This page describes the status of the Debian Port for PowerPC. Older models work without any problem.The new models have some issues to be solved |
iBook G4
There are some howtos to install Debian on it:
We need to merge them in this wiki, with updated info
Sleep-to-RAM just works with all kernel >= 2.6.13 out of the box (I think is was 2.6.13...just use the latest, It'll work)
Sleep-to-disk does work with 2.6 kernels.
Second head out
There is a patch for OpenFirmware which enables the second head of the Radeon iBooks. Read the info here
One button mouse
On iBook G4, editing mouse.sh with
echo 0x61 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode echo 0x64 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation
makes the Fn-CTRL and Fn-ALT combinations behave as a middle and right button.
PowerBook 15"
Airport Extreme
It works, using the bcm43xx (reverse engineered) driver. Use at least 2.6.17 kernel.
Sleep-to-RAM
As of Nov 2, 2004, a working patch exists for 2.6.9 kernel.
2D, 3D acceleration
The video cards are suspected to be manufactured by ?[Nvidia] (unconfirmed, but this hase been seen on Apple Power PC Desktop computers). The Nvidia series of cards do not currently support open source 3D acceleration, however 2D functionality is provided and a proprietary 3D driver is available for Nvidia series cards.

Videoprojection (TV out?)
A working patch for 2.6 kernel exists. Julien Blache writes that this patch works only on Rage 128 chipsets (see output of lspci). (However, I have Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 and it works.)
Bluetooth
It works fine.
