Hello, I tried to install FC4 on my new PowerBook G4. The track pad in not detected at all. I have tried everything but still it was not detected during installation nor after installation.

A bit late but what is the output of:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

If this is a recent Powerbook it's a USB touchpad. A driver for this device is available through kernel 2.6.13-rc3-mm1 and higher -mm versions (drivers/usb/input/appletouch).
At the moment it's easier to build the kernel module by yourself: http://popies.net/atp/index.html
For extended functionality synaptics xorg driver is needed. So it would be nice to have an official synaptics package for ppc. Builds at least with a modified spec (ppc added to archs). But iirc is Paul the right person to ask... :)
I still run my own driver without synaptics and haven't tested Stelians latest version. Will try it soon.

That or just run 'yum update'

File a bug against the synaptics package.

Fixed for rawhide for the installer I'd like to know what
/proc/bus/input/devices shows on one of these boxes - to ensure I get kudzu detecting it correctly and configured.
I'll also consider a FC4 update once I know it'll be configured correctly with s-c-display --reconfig

Hmm, doesn't work... aarg, I'm running rawhide ;)

Uh, this was fast. Thanks.

atp is my custom driver.

This will not work out of the box at the moment, at least for 15 and 17" models. The radeon driver of xorg-x11 is broken. xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch causes problems. David should know about it: bug #152648.
Additionally the native resolution of 15" models is not supported (1280x854). For 17" (1440x900) I'm not sure.

Grr. I gave them the fix for this months ago.

1440x900 works fine.
Perhaps needless to say, but it's working... Thanks.
For the case it's needed: Changed part of cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Are you sure? I get no option for 1280x854 when running system-config-display --reconfig. Once manually configured it's there of course (without --reconfig).
Bug report for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151459 (I wonder why this crap must be hard coded)

Don't post HTML to public fora. Did you try updating to the current erratum kernel?
