I managed to have sound working on my '99 pwr book G3 by switch
from bootx1.1.1 to bootx1.1.3, The 1.1.3 version is located at:
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/utilities/BootX 1.1.3.sit
Don'n know why this is required but thought I saw a message to this
effect on this list...
I am using xmms to play MP3 files and it all works flawlessly!
Now if we could get mouse buttons 2/3 emulation working or have
external USB mouse support in place I would be willing to drop
usage of my x86 laptop!
Ciao
