Some RedHat/PPC packages don't mix well with Linux/APUS. Please help me keep this list up to date so people don't have to download useless packages.
The kbd* packages messes up the keyboard layout. Do not install them. Supposedly there are Amiga keyboard patches for the recent kdb packages. I have not tried it myself though.
Emacs-nox core dumps. This is a generic problem. The emacs compiled with X libs works fine.
Gpm requires a small patch to be working. This is available from the 'misc' directory at SunSITE Denmark (provided by Holger Jakob). The patch is not needed for Gpm version 1.16 and above. You may also have to add MOUSETYPE='BUSMOUSE' to /etc/sysconfig/mouse.
X had a bug causing eterm, enlightenment, wmaker, mozilla, etc. to crash when run on afb (i.e., no graphics card). This has been fixed now. Sven has provided a binary of the X server for Debian (may also work for other distributions): http://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~luther/xfree/XF68_FBDev_3.3.4_afb_fix.gz
