Meeting: nclug 2005-02-22
Body: Briefly looked at porting a 64bit app to x86... then decided I didn't care that much. Recovered from installing Ubuntu Xorg on a Debian unstable system. Kind of a pain. Found out S3 suspend on nc6000 does bad things (seems to suspend, power on turns on some leds, but nothing else. had to remove batteries to reset).

Body: Screwed around, built new kernel for the nc6000 w/ 2.6.11-rc4 + swsusp 2.1.7 + latest cvs madwifi. Now the red light on the mute button goes on when I hit it... ooooh. Installed Ubuntu's X.org on Debian unstable, couple quirks, but mainly seems to work.

Body: Looked through powermac audio driver trying to figure out why it's not working on the mini. It's reported as an AOAKeylargo like the ibooks seem to have, but it bombs out in the tumbler init code. Seems I need access to the Darwin driver, hopefully someone more familiar will get to it first.
