Hello all, I need some help to get debian woody working on a friend of mine's ASUS L2480D laptop (it's the very first time I install Linux on a laptop). I followed http://studenti.ing.unipi.it/~s244797/L2460D/ and quite everything works but:
1) when starting X the display "blinks" (the same way as if it starts, is immediately killed, and started again) for trhee, four times; then it finally works. Additionally when switching from X to a console, the screen remains "dirty" (a uniform red/yellow color) for a second or two before to show the console itself. Video Card is a SiS 730S and Xfree is the one from woody overwriting sis driver files with a more recent version as told in the link above and in http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml. I use framebuffer for console but not for X. 2) I recompiled 2.4.19 kernel without ide cdrom support but with scsi emulation (cdwriter is ide), but at boot it finds 7 cd drives. cdrecord -scabus only finds one, but k3b, for example, 7. dmesg says: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 1 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr2 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 2 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr3 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 3 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr4 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 4 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr5 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 5 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr6 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 6 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr2: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr3: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr4: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr5: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr6: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray 3) To get information on battery charge, ... do I need to apply acpi patch to the kernel or the acpi support from debian 2.4.19 kernel is enough? 4) Is it harmful to eject cdrom from the button on the drive? Some tips with this laptop? Thanks in advance, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
