Hello,

tried the second one _b.bz2 on an iBook Dual USB. Didn't find a fan
though, but works and has an interesting sideeffect.

The redrawing problem from mozilla -which looked a little like
off-by-one pixel when scrolling downward- disappeared!
The only difference is the kernel, so I don't know what it is, but I
sure will stick to that one. (can sent dmesg if wanted)

Regarding the hardware. I entered open-firmware but found myself quite
lost there. I didn't do anything except setting boot-device and -file
in OF before, so my skills are rather limited.
tried:
dev /uni-n .properties
and
dev /uni-n/i2c .properties
which worked and revealed that there is a keywest i2c -well, no
surprise- but just guessing and trying didn't get me any further.
I would expect / hope that there was something like a list command in
OF that allowed to navigate the OF-tree.
Googled, and found openfirmware.org (if I remember correctly) but
something like a short list with a handful of commands I didn't
find.  Is there such a small HOWTO?

Regards
Rudi
