    I have a powerbook g4 1,67ghz with ati 9700 64mb and my fault are the following:

    trackpad dont work under morphos, i need a usb mouse for use it.
    keyboard backlight dont work under morphos.
    function keys for change volume, brightness... dont work under morphos.

    All of this is with the ultima release (morphos 3.2), any ideas?, thanks.

    Try a fresh install without the Pack Ultimate.

    I have the same model but with 128mb vram and everything works perfectly.

    Ultimate Pack is not an official release so everything can happen after installing it. If you have any troubles, contact Ultimate Pack author.

    Does the same apply when you boot from the MorphOS CD?

    @all

    Sorry for my typo error, i talk about the ultimate morphos release, nothing to do with ultimate pack or whatever.

    Thanks for the answers but the powerbook have a fresh morphos 3.2 install, booting from the cd trackpad, backlight... doesnt run.

    Apple trackpads are pretty dreadful devices anyway.
    I just carry a mouse.

    @kickstart

    That is pretty interesting. Would probably be best if you tried to catch me on the #morphos IRC channel after the weekend.
