The latest update on the iMac DVSE500
Sound works, except that all .wav files sound like a VHF radio during a
thunderstorm... static only. X-beeps fine. BASH beeps fine.
This has been consistant with all 5 kernels I've tried.
Still using the BenH backport 2.2.17pre13-ben1 kernel (tested a new 2.4.x
kernel, and ran into a kernel panic, switched back).
Reinstalled (for a number of reasons)... and after the dev rpm installed,
hit f2, and did the text-based backport stuff during the install; this ogt
the moude config to work. Still had to manually edit the
/etc/X11/XF86Config to set from protocol "PS/2" to "IMPS/2", and manually
set the device to "/dev/input/mice" rather than "/dev/mouse", even tho'
"/dev/mouse" is a sym-link to "/dev/input/mice". Yes, I've tried it in all
three options, and only with both will it work.
On shutdown, still getting
Shutdown Console Mouse Services [FAILED]
how do I tell the console where to look for the mouse?
do any console (non-x) apps shipped as part of CS1.2 support mice?
Dual Boot Script:
I used the dual boot script provided to the list by Dan Kortschak.
Some interesting problems there... If I let it time-out, I normally get an
unreadable (but functional) yaboot screen. If I type 'l', I get a search
for the macosrom. If I type 'm', I go straight to my hda9 macos rom and
boot to macos.
here's the script (sans the headers and the osbadge icons). I use "boot
hd:12,yaboot.tbxi" at the ofprompt to get to yaboot. I simply cut and
pasted to make the ofboot.b which resides on hda12 alongside yaboot.tbxi
and yaboot.config
<BOOT-SCRIPT>
: bootyaboot " Loading second stage bootstrap..." fb8-write 100 ms " boot
hd:12,yaboot.tbxi" eval ;
: bootmacos " Booting MacOS..." fb8-write 100 ms " boot hd:9,\\:tbxi" eval ;
variable hackcrlfvar 0d0a0a0d hackcrlfvar !
: hackcrlf hackcrlfvar 2 fb8-write ;
variable interactive
1 interactive !
0 interactive @ = if
bootyaboot
then
" First stage GNU/Linux bootstrap" fb8-write off hackcrlf
" " fb8-write off hackcrlf
" Press L for GNU/Linux," fb8-write off hackcrlf
" M for MacOS." fb8-write off hackcrlf

dup ascii l = if hackcrlf bootyaboot then
dup ascii m = if bootmacos then

then
dup get-secs - 0 = if bootyaboot then
repeat
</BOOT-SCRIPT>
Suggestions/comments appreciated.
