thanks It worked. THANKS * 10000000000000000000000
NICE. I will put this xorg.conf on my website as well.
<PowerBook G4 12">
Thanks sha.goyjo for a great post.
Can I ask maybe a dumb question? I'd read elsewhere about overheating problems with Ubuntu running on a PowerBook - which lead me to your post in fact.
As instructed, I first off used the "$sudo modprobe therm_adt746x" command. Now on my system the cooling fan was running, but at this point it stopped and I haven't heard it since. So am a bit bothered that I've made things worse and not better.
Any suggestions/comments?
Thanks.
Did you put the therm_adt746x line into /etc/modules? If not, the fan won't start on boot. Otherwise, I'd be worried about a mechanical failure of the fan. I may have a few spares lying around which I could send to you for shipping though :-). If you can give us some more detailed info on the problem I think we could be of more help.Quote:

Happy to provide more detail if it would be useful - just let me know what.
Know a good CPU temp monitor applet? Might be wise for me to keep an eye on it.
Thanks to this how-to, I've compiled my first kernel (from 2.6.35), and I'm impressed with how fast Lucid runs on my iBook G4. I followed all the instructions successfully down to the last step, where I hit a couple of problems. When I try to run hdapsd, I get the following error:
Also, apt says "package not found" when I try to install gpmudmon.Code:anthony@exmac:~$ hdapsd
Thu Aug 12 17:10:13 2010: Starting hdapsd
Thu Aug 12 17:10:13 2010: WARNING: You did not supply any devices to protect, trying autodetection.
Thu Aug 12 17:10:13 2010: Could not read from /sys/block/hda/device/unload_heads: Operation not supported
Thu Aug 12 17:10:13 2010: Could not detect any devices.
I already have pmu_battery working; does gpmudmon do something different that I need? And how important is hard disk parking? I've been running the standard ppc install of Lucid for a month or two, and I assume I didn't have that feature. I only need that if I drop my computer while the disk is spinning, right?
There are several errors showing in TTY1 but I don't know how to copy them. They include the following:
Invalid ROM contents
unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
init: ureadahead main process (232) terminated with status 5 (I'm not sure if it's supposed to do that or not)
not starting hdapsd: neither /sys/block/sda/queue/protect nor /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads do exist, please read /usr/share/doc/hdapsd/README.Debian (I did, but I still couldn't figure out what was wrong)
Also, the computer hangs on shutdown and the fan starts going like crazy. I have to hold down the power button to power it off.
Finally, the F11 key no longer works to go fullscreen in a picture viewer or browser window. As far as I can tell, everything else on the keyboard is normal, but I could be missing something. On a 12" screen, I use this feature all the time, and I'm hating opening a menu every time I need fullscreen.
Can someone point me in the right direction here? I'll be glad to provide more info if you need it.
