[SPARCbook] Linux users???

[Michael Lorenz]

Greetings !


> I am curious how many in the group are using Linux on their SparcBooks.

I don't - for some obvious reasons:
- power management. Linux doesn't clock down the processor when it goes too
hot
- ISDN. No driver for the DBRI.
- audio was in development, don't know it's current state
- the framebuffer operates in dumb mode only as far as I know, no
acceleration for X
- difficulties with the keyboard stick which seems to use a slightly
different protocol than Sun mice.

PCMCIA is no great priority for me - I simply can't imagine what card I
could use whose functionality isn't already built in. The internal modem
would be nice but I have ISDN, so what.

All of the above may be somewhat outdated and if anyone could prove me
wrong there I would certainly like it :-)

have fun
Michael
