Did some looking around. It seems as if the trackpads on the new PowerBooks do not yet have support for Linux, as Apple just recently switched to a different supplier of trackpads (perhaps with the introduction of their double-finger scrolling). As for the usb mouse not working, I get the following from dmesg: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:18.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19.0 Apple USB OHCI 0001:10:18.0 disabled by firmware Apple USB OHCI 0001:10:19.0 disabled by firmware Seems like the USB ports are disabled, I've yet to find out why that may be or what to do to enable them. -- Anton Zolotkov.
