Hi today i got a powerbook 17" model 1085.
Is on the morphos 3.2 supported hardware list.
The problem is that i installed morphos 3.3
but i can't get audio, the brightness keys and keyboard backlight keys do nothing, wifi dont work.
I got lan working and 3d acceleration, but the rest of the features don't work
Anyone having this issue? theres some way to fix it ?

Tested on morphos 3.2 same as on 3.3 the indentificator is PowerBook5,5

The touchpad works but on morphos 3.3. theres no icon on preferences, on morphos 3.2 the preferences icon appear and i can change options releated bizarre

You could've changed them, but they wouldn't do anything - your PowerBook does not have an USB touchpad and these settings are only for the last two revisions that provide raw sensor pressure readings via USB.

Some extra features are definitely disabled currently because we didn't have the required PowerBook to verify them. We will try to fix this for the next 3.4 update.
Please use our "Report Bug" button in the About MorphOS/Support tab section if you identify any issues.
User reports are moved into our bug database after validation. Just reporting it here might get overlooked easily.
Internal Wifi is not supported at all currently. There is a chance that this will change for a future update, though.

Ok i fix a bug report.

Theres any wifi pcmcia card i can get ?

I can live whitout volume control keys and brightness but having no sound is a no go.

Stupid question I know but I have to ask: do you have your volume up in wbstartup/mixer?

Yes is up all the way, also tried changing units and amplification on AHI but is a no go.
When i boot the volume appears by default whit a red X like i have mute but moving it up all the way have no diference, i tried also connecting earphones and having the same issue

I posted a bug report and one of the morphos dev team contacted me, he whas able to fix the compatibilty problems on this powerbook model, sound and brightnes control, very nice guy. Great support :D so the next release probably will include this fixes by default.

That was quick!

Glad to hear you're up and running, you seem to have been really unlucky with some hardware purchases.

The new morphos 3.4 works great sound/brightness issues are fixed out of the box.

:D thanks morphos team, i even can change to non native resolutions.
Low resolutions tend to flicker.
