VAIO GR 214

2002-01-14 Thread Sylvain de Crom

Hello, 

I've installed Debian GNU/Linux on my VAIO GR 214, but the speedstep
doesn't seem to work, If I unplug the AC, apm tells me that the laptop
is still runnig on AC. So I think that APM doesn't work on my VAIO.

Is there a risk of blowing up my laptop by running Linux on it? I can't
seem to check if the CPU temperature protection (a fan?) still works
with Linux, the sensors give no temperature (not in Linux, and there
seems to be no temperature readout posability in windows too), so how
can I check that the laptop doesn't overheat?

I hope someone can help me with this, becouse I'm runnig windows with
cygwin now :-(

Inspiron 8000 IDE bus speed

2002-01-14 Thread Simon Wong

I have noticed on booting that I have a message saying that an IDE bus
speed of 33MHz is being assumed.

As far as I know the i8000 has a 66MHz bus speed.

Has anyone had any experience with appending idebus=66 to the boot
prompt?

Will it damage anything if not true?

Will it make much difference to end performance - I'm assuming only for
intensive disk use but that may speed up my "locate" updates?

I ordered a ThinkPad A30 with Radeon Mobility. On LinuxCare there is a
report on how to set up SuSE Linux an that laptop.
Wrong laptop and wrong distro, but they explain how to setup XFree by
hand from cvs:

If you find a working driver for a debian package it would be nice to
post that here.

Since I was responsible for the report for the A30, just a couple of notes
about the cert report for the A30...  I tested this with the latest
version of SuSE quite a bit and there was one non-replicable error which
occured often with default kernels the distributions provided.

After compiling X from CVS, the server
would complain about "could not determine panel size" sometimes.  I could
not isolate this to a certain event; but often by compiling a newer kernel
this would go away.  In fact, I never saw this happen after compiling a
new kernel on any of the distributions I tested.

Also, if you have never compiled X from CVS, be prepared for a "funtime"
(tm).  On the A30, it took me almost 2 hours to get compiled on SuSE.
Be sure you install bison and flex (lex) also.  If you don't you will have
a fatal compile-time error in X as it goes, and it does not "remember"
where it was when it happened.  So you have to start the whole process all
over again.

As a point in reference, take a look at the same report but a bit further
down:

http://www.linuxcare.com/labs/certs/ibm/thinkpad/a30/suse72-config.epl

That's 33MHz *PCI* bus speed. Even if it says IDE everywhere near it.

That's unlikely. It may support UDMA-66 mode for the drives.

Hopefully not...

...because it will make the IDE driver get all the timings for PIO mode
wrong. I don't know if it's going to damage things if you tell it the
wrong timings, but it's certainly not going to help.

No.

No, not even then.

Certainly not for 'locate' updates, a process which spends it's time
seeking around the disk.

Sorry, I seem to have that mixed up.  It does support UDMA-66 for the
IDE drives.

I'll look at the doc on hdparm further to see if it's worth trying -X66
to get some more speed.

Thanks.

Yes!  After much stuffing around i have an IR sync happening with my
Dell Inspiron 8000, kernel 2.4.17 and my Palm Vx.

First step is to have a look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for some
notes by someone with the same laptop as you.

You should also have a read of the IR-HOWTO for some background
information.  I have found it to be a little out of date but a good
starting point.

I have only really got it working with the 2.4 kernels as I wanted that
series for better USB support.

You need to enable IrDA support in the kernel (built-in or modules) and
have modules/support built-in for ircomm and irtty.

You also need to install the irda utilities (you need irattach to
connect your IR serial port).

It is worthwhile looking at the linux-irda list's archives (Google will
find it) for other's more specific IR experiences .

Good luck.

yeah. The "system bus speed" it mentions is the system *PCI* bus. I
think it's stupid, too, but there doesn't seem to be much inclination to
change it.

Maybe Marcello, the 2.4 maintainer, would take a cosmetic patch if you
sent one. :)

*nod*  It's fine; it's one of the more confusing details that tend to
get mixed around by the manufacturers. It's ever worse because it's so
little to do with real performance, too. :)

Given that you are using a laptop harddrive[1], you are /very/ unlikely
to see any real performance difference.

Performance on a single hard disk is dominated by seek time for
everything except streaming media.

Running the data transfer faster, such as UDMA-66 vs UDMA-33, generally
doesn't make a real difference to any situation using IDE disks because
one disk can't saturate the IO bus and two disks still lock each other
out, competing for the bandwidth.

So, it really doesn't make much difference. If you are using a UDMA, or
even a DMA, mode, there is little gain to be made by pushing it harder.
There is a (miniscule) theoretical gain using DMA over PIO, but it's not
really measurable.

Enabling 32-bit host transfers and unmasking of the IRQ with hdparm,
when it works[2], can make a difference, though -- especially the later
of those two.

Hi-

I use a 3com 556 (combo nic and modem) with very good results here with
debian unstable.  I have also used linksys ones I believe with very good
results.  I like the 3com 556 for all round use.  The only bad part with
it is the dongle.  I manage to lose about 3 dongles each year traveling or
whatever.

I've got an SMC5040TX 10/100 fixed port (nice & sturdy - no dongle) that 
works fine in my Vaio (SR21K). Installed Potato and it picked up the card 
automagically :) Looks like SMC have got an updated model now, the 
5041TX, in case searching on the 5040 doesn't pick up enough.

VAIO GR 214

2002-01-14 Thread Sylvain de Crom
Hello, 

I've installed Debian GNU/Linux on my VAIO GR 214, but the speedstep
doesn't seem to work, If I unplug the AC, apm tells me that the laptop
is still runnig on AC. So I think that APM doesn't work on my VAIO.

Is there a risk of blowing up my laptop by running Linux on it? I can't
seem to check if the CPU temperature protection (a fan?) still works
with Linux, the sensors give no temperature (not in Linux, and there
seems to be no temperature readout posability in windows too), so how
can I check that the laptop doesn't overheat?

I hope someone can help me with this, becouse I'm runnig windows with
cygwin now :-(

Inspiron 8000 IDE bus speed

2002-01-14 Thread Simon Wong
I have noticed on booting that I have a message saying that an IDE bus
speed of 33MHz is being assumed.

As far as I know the i8000 has a 66MHz bus speed.

Has anyone had any experience with appending idebus=66 to the boot
prompt?

Will it damage anything if not true?

Will it make much difference to end performance - I'm assuming only for
intensive disk use but that may speed up my "locate" updates?

I ordered a ThinkPad A30 with Radeon Mobility. On LinuxCare there is a
report on how to set up SuSE Linux an that laptop.
Wrong laptop and wrong distro, but they explain how to setup XFree by
hand from cvs:

If you find a working driver for a debian package it would be nice to

Since I was responsible for the report for the A30, just a couple of notes
about the cert report for the A30...  I tested this with the latest
version of SuSE quite a bit and there was one non-replicable error which
occured often with default kernels the distributions provided.

After compiling X from CVS, the server
would complain about "could not determine panel size" sometimes.  I could
not isolate this to a certain event; but often by compiling a newer kernel
this would go away.  In fact, I never saw this happen after compiling a
new kernel on any of the distributions I tested.

Also, if you have never compiled X from CVS, be prepared for a "funtime"
(tm).  On the A30, it took me almost 2 hours to get compiled on SuSE.
Be sure you install bison and flex (lex) also.  If you don't you will have
a fatal compile-time error in X as it goes, and it does not "remember"
where it was when it happened.  So you have to start the whole process all
over again.

As a point in reference, take a look at the same report but a bit further
down:

That's 33MHz *PCI* bus speed. Even if it says IDE everywhere near it.

That's unlikely. It may support UDMA-66 mode for the drives.

Hopefully not...

...because it will make the IDE driver get all the timings for PIO mode
wrong. I don't know if it's going to damage things if you tell it the
wrong timings, but it's certainly not going to help.

No.

No, not even then.

Certainly not for 'locate' updates, a process which spends it's time
seeking around the disk.

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31

Sorry, I seem to have that mixed up.  It does support UDMA-66 for the
IDE drives.

I'll look at the doc on hdparm further to see if it's worth trying -X66
to get some more speed.

Thanks.

Re: irDA and Palm IIIx

Yes!  After much stuffing around i have an IR sync happening with my
Dell Inspiron 8000, kernel 2.4.17 and my Palm Vx.

First step is to have a look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for some
notes by someone with the same laptop as you.

You should also have a read of the IR-HOWTO for some background
information.  I have found it to be a little out of date but a good
starting point.

I have only really got it working with the 2.4 kernels as I wanted that
series for better USB support.

You need to enable IrDA support in the kernel (built-in or modules) and
have modules/support built-in for ircomm and irtty.

You also need to install the irda utilities (you need irattach to
connect your IR serial port).

It is worthwhile looking at the linux-irda list's archives (Google will
find it) for other's more specific IR experiences .

Good luck.

yeah. The "system bus speed" it mentions is the system *PCI* bus. I
think it's stupid, too, but there doesn't seem to be much inclination to
change it.

Maybe Marcello, the 2.4 maintainer, would take a cosmetic patch if you
sent one. :)

*nod*  It's fine; it's one of the more confusing details that tend to
get mixed around by the manufacturers. It's ever worse because it's so
little to do with real performance, too. :)

Given that you are using a laptop harddrive[1], you are /very/ unlikely
to see any real performance difference.

Performance on a single hard disk is dominated by seek time for
everything except streaming media.

Running the data transfer faster, such as UDMA-66 vs UDMA-33, generally
doesn't make a real difference to any situation using IDE disks because
one disk can't saturate the IO bus and two disks still lock each other
out, competing for the bandwidth.

So, it really doesn't make much difference. If you are using a UDMA, or
even a DMA, mode, there is little gain to be made by pushing it harder.
There is a (miniscule) theoretical gain using DMA over PIO, but it's not
really measurable.

Enabling 32-bit host transfers and unmasking of the IRQ with hdparm,
when it works[2], can make a difference, though -- especially the later
of those two.

Maybe some time when I'm feeling adventurous.

Thanks for the info.

good PCMCIA NICs?

2002-01-14 Thread Andy Winnenberg

Hey folks,
I don't know if this has come up before... sorry if it's a repost... I 
was wondering if anyone had advice on good PCMCIA NICs.  I'm setting up 
a cable modem account with a local ISP and I'm not sure what card to 
pick up...


Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

Hi-

I use a 3com 556 (combo nic and modem) with very good results here with
debian unstable.  I have also used linksys ones I believe with very good
results.  I like the 3com 556 for all round use.  The only bad part with
it is the dongle.  I manage to lose about 3 dongles each year traveling or
whatever.
