No problems so far on my mac. The microphone does not work.

Isn't that just an iBook in a different case?

11. We need a working kernel. The last one working for me is 2.6.9-1.667.
    Later kernels have trouble with ptrace, or do not exist at all.

12. Firewire detection does not work, at least on my iBook. Firewire itself
    works when you manually load the driver.

On the positive side, the latest Xorg from rawhide has magically enabled DRI
on my iBook (xorg-x11-6.8.1.902-4). 3D is slow (rage128), but definitely
faster than software rendering :)

Note: all hardware notes above are from a 500MHz iBook2.
