Hi,
I finally upgraded to 2.6 last night, and I'm really enjoying it! I have
a PowerBook G4 1GHz (with NVidia graphics card). CPU frequency scaling
is working nicely for me. The cpufreq driver reports:
> Registering PowerMac CPU frequency driver
> Low: 765 Mhz, High: 998 Mhz, Boot: 765 Mhz
Which makes me wonder if 2.4 was running at 765 the whole time. Maybe
because of this, 2.6 FEELS faster :) Also, the backlight fine control is
great! I'll play with sleep/resume this weekend and report my status.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has worked on PPC Linux. You've done
great work!
Cheers,
dustin.

2.6 feels faster on desktop for other reasons too, such as a faster
scheduler (at least it was the case when I switched to 2.6, maybe 2.4
got a faster one too).

You mentioned you have an nVidia GPU, so I guess you won't have much
success - nVidia cards are badly supported as they're being very secret
about their hardware.

A faster scheduler? Now, that's one I've never heard :-)
