No windfarm but fancontrol and lm-sensors have been installed, however even sensor-detect seems to be unable to detect
sensors on my PB 12" G4.
Am I missing a loaded kernel module ?
(/etc/modules)
apm_emu
therm_adt746x
pmu_battery
snd-aoa-i2sbus
i2c-dev
Has anybody got the trackpad more fluent under Ubuntu Mate, it works but I have to drag my finger on the touchpad.
Though I got the same screwy fan patterns as you last time I tried 16.04, my PBG4 12" fans are working just as they should (non-erratically) in Debian Sid under 4.19.16. Maybe use Sid instead?
EDIT: When I restarted and booted into Open Firmware, the fan shot way up. Maybe 4.19 is controlling the fan too conservatively? The machine was very hot prior to the restart, but the fan did kick up several times when it got too hot.
I will say that for some machines, OS X is the superior operating system to use. I believe I consider the 12" PB one of these machines, at least until further notice.
[doublepost=1550695779][/doublepost]Try adding "appletouch" to /etc/modules with "sudo nano /etc/modules" and reboot.
While you still can't play feather fingers with the trackpad, this fixed a lot of it for me. I could see myself actually getting things done with this configuration.
