CTRL-ALT-DEL on iBook?
Hi.
Little bit confused about my iBooks keyboard:
How can I do a CTRL-ALT-DEL Reset on the iBook?
What about Sysreq, is it supported by PPC-Kernel?
If my gentoo-kernel fails I get a minimal system, where reboot or init
doesn't exist. Thus I have to power down and up again.
Thanks,
Paolo

Fn-CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.

In principle yes, only the keyboard has no Sysrq-key ;-)
I wrote a small patch emulating Sysreq by Fn-ESC, analogue to the
DEL-Emuation by Fn-BS.
HTH,

Doesn't work for me.
I tried on gentoo.

Ok, that option is not as important as CTRL-ALT-BS.
You wrote a real kernel patch? Will it come to the PPC-Kernel?

Ok, worked on the gentoo-live CD.
I needed the "reset call" because the installed gentoo is not fully
funcional yet. There, it doesn't work.
