From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: PowerMac (ppc) machines should have /dev/adb (the bus that drives ADB mice / keyboards). /dev/pmu is the Power Management device for PowerMacs. We should have this too. I'll attach a patch to the spec file which will do this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): MAKEDEV-3.3.13-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to use any program that interfaces /dev/adb or /dev/pmu, such as pbbuttonsd. Additional info:
Created attachment 98907 [details] add /dev/adb and /dev/pmu to the ppc build of MAKEDEV / dev
Should these device nodes be present on ppc64 systems as well?
For pSeries, I doubt it. If those users aren't complaining about them not being there, then I guess they don't need them. The exception may be the G5, but I'd take that as a separate bug if somebody reports it. I don't have any ppc64 hardware to test with (I'm testing on G3 and G4).

Might as well include the device nodes on ppc64 too, as it does no harm there, and G5 powerbooks will eventually turn up.
Are there going to be any G5 PowerBooks with *ADB*? /dev/pmu on ppc64 in anticipation of a PowerBook G5 makes sense, but /dev/adb? IMO it would make the most sense to create /dev/adb and /dev/pmu on ppc32, and /dev/pmu without /dev/adb on ppc64.
The G4 powerbooks see the internal keyboard and touchpad as ADB peripherals. I don't see why the G5 powerbooks should be different. There's no harm in creating /dev/adb there too.
Ah, I didn't realize that! I thought Apple had completely killed ADB... Never mind my previous comment, then.
Seems to be fixed with MAKEDEV-3.7-2 (and possibly earlier).
