Try to install correspondent alsa modules as well.
sleep/suspend on Toshiba 2805-S302
I might have a few hours today for my laptop setup. Is it possible to get sleep/suspend to work on this laptop? And is it even worth it, battery wise? apm -S seems to work, but then within a second or two the laptop wakes up. On the other hand, apm -s seems to put it in suspend (the power light slowly flashes orange), but the system does not come back when I press the power button again. It attempts to restart, so it seems, but after a few seconds the LCD fades white in the center -- and that doesn't look too good. Do I need a special disk partition for suspend? I've never seen one when looking at the partition tables. WinME is still on the machine and it can "Stand By" and restore still. $ fgrep APM /boot/config-2.4.18-xfs-laptop CONFIG_APM=m # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have Trident Cyber video, you might try upgrading to XFree 4.2. I had similar problem with XFree 4.1. >Do I need a special disk partition for suspend? I've never seen one when You might want to try Gabor Kuti's software suspend patch. It works quite nice for me (it suspends to swap partition). http://falcon.sch.bme.hu/~seasons/linux/swsusp.html
ObeliX ./. MobiliX: The Gauls want a second round in court
Hi, though not technically related to laptops, I suppose my press release from today might interest you. Werner German Linux Projects under Trademark Trouble Though Obelix has lost the charge against the trademark http://mobilix.org";>MobiliX, the Gauls want a second round in court. Even before the end of the appelation time "Lés Editions Albert René" has appealed against the decision of the German court. To deliver detailed arguments their lawyers now have time until 26th September. The charge about 250.000 USD was accusing http://mobilix.org";>MobiliX of using a name which might be mistaken for Obelix. And therefore abusing the good reputation of Obelix. But during the first round in the court at Munich these arguments were rejected by the judges. The judges argued that the trademark MobiliX is built from the word "Mobil" and the abbrevation "iX". This abbrevation is a very common description for UniX projects. But this didn't impress the plaintiff, they are continuing their way through the courts and they are already charging other German Linux projects. At http://mobilix.org";>MobiliX many informations about BSD, Linux and other UniXes on laptops, PDAs, cell phones and other mobile computers are available. The documentation of the case is available http://mobilix.org/mobilix_asterix.html";>online. -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=|T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://MobiliX.org Linux and BSD on Mobile Computers |=| http://Xtops.DELaptops+PDAs pre-installed with UniX |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed

WPC11 on a Toshiba 2100CDT
The object: to get my WPC11 Linksys Wireless PCMCIA card to work under linux. So as to shorten this message, consult the Mini-HowTO <>, which is what I used to try to get the card working. I downloaded the most recent kernel (2.4.19) and the pcmcia-cs source and the wlan-ng package and recompiled with wireless support (just as the HOWTO says). Now (after running "lilo -v"), after rebooting to use the new kernel, my machine enters lilo and then, before booting linux at all, goes into an endless rebooting loop. When I have my LinuxOLD kernel on the menu, I'm still able to boot with that. I even tried controlling it by simply recompiling my kernel as anyone would do and then rebooting - to no avail. I think that possibly my debian installation does not accept the kernel (because of incompatable software pkgs??) or that I made a mistake in compiling (in all of the 4 times i tried). Anyone had either similar problems or success? (Sorry for the poorly written email - I was in a hurry.)

It works with kernel-2.4.19 (Debian package) without any patches. I guess I read the same howto as you, but I made a test before to try compile it and it worked :-) Just comments the lines (following the suggesstions of the file) on /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts -- German Poo Caaman~o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/chilelindo.html «Hay 10 tipos de personas: las que entienden binario y las que no.»
