Re: [SLUG] linux on ibook

[Denis Crowdy <dcrowdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Going in a slightly different direction here, but has anyone managed to
compile the kernel Jamie recommends at
http://www.spacepants.org/hw/tibook/ on one of the new powerbooks with a
Radeon video card?

I'm having problems like:

cp: cannot stat `agpgart.o': No such file or directory

In the meantime I will delve further into man make-kpkg (can I make
changes to the .config file so that I don't have to recompile
everything?) and try some more combinations of radeon, agpgart et al.

I had no problems installing a stock debian kernel on an older
powerbook, and simply installing some recommended packages from Michel
Daenzer's apt repository.  The new machine is being groomed for audio
work and X would be great...
