new package request -- reassigning to distribution. For the record, Ben's kernel patch is available at http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/albook-ibookg4-sleep-6.diff. This patch adds support to the kernel for the power management unit in G4 iBooks. There is a newer patch vs. 2.6.9 available at http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/albook-ibookg4-sleep-7.diff. When he released this patch, Ben said: > So here's the new patch, it replaces the previous one for Aluminium > PowerBooks, and is still against 2.6.9. I'll do something against > 2.6.10 when that one is out (it's a bit late to get that merged with > Linus, 2.6.10 is in freeze mode now) and I hope to get all of that > in 2.6.11. So perhaps we will see this stuff in the Fedora kernel once 2.6.11 is released. It looks like Ben's patch is in 2.6.11-rc3. The ChangeLog says: > <benh.org> > [PATCH] ppc32: pmac sleep support update > > This patch updates the PowerMac sleep support. [...] I'm not averse to pmud if we're shipping PPC for FC4. Apmud is now in Fedora Extras and the Fedora kernel supports power managment on new Apple computers. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041027 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: Benjamin Herrenschmidt has brought sleeping back to Apple's current line of PowerBooks and iBooks. In anticipation of this getting into the mainstream kernel, it would be nice if the Fedora Project provided a pmud package. Pmud, a daemon that performs power-related functions on Apple computers, is provided as an RPM package by Yellow Dog Linux 4.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Notice that closing the lid on a G4 iBook does not put the computer to sleep.
