Presario config files
Hello, I found your web page regarding config files. Would you happen to know if i could get a copy of my Presario 1220 notebook config files from anywhere? Unfortunately I have made several unsuccessful changes, only to learn recently that i should have firstly made a backup copy. Regards Richard O.

Strange thing with framebuffer
Hi, since I added `ywrap' parameter in my lilo.conf's 'video=vesa:ywrap', I have notice strange behaviour: every now and then my screen get shifted downwards by two lines (which makes bottom lines unreadable, as they are "off the screen" then). After awhile those two lines dissapear and everything comes back to normal. That happens quite regularly, so I expect some cycle. The kernel documentation says this: You can pass options to vesafb using "video=vesa:option" on the kernel command line. Multiple options should be separated by comma, like this: "video=vesa:ypan,invers" Accepted options: inversno comment... ypan enable display panning using the VESA protected mode interface. The visible screen is just a window of the video memory, console scrolling is done by changing the start of the window. pro:* scrolling (fullscreen) is fast, because there is no need to copy around data. * You'll get scrollback (the Shift-PgUp thing), the video memory can be used as scrollback buffer kontra: * scrolling only parts of the screen causes some ugly flicker effects (boot logo flickers for example). ywrap Same as ypan, but assumes your gfx board can wrap-around the video memory (i.e. starts reading from top if it reaches the end of video memory). Faster than ypan. ...has it anything to do with video memory and mtrr settings? To speed things up, I'm using following command to set mtrr's (this is copied from X settings; `mtrr' parameter passed to framebuffer driver was setting my card as 4MB and it is 8MB): # # set MTRR registers # now, this is supposed to speed thing up - while in console (X sets this by itself) # echo "base=0x4000 size=0x80 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr I wouldn't like to resign from `ywrap' options: it's fast and I'm working in "text mode" (sic! as this is fb after all :-) a lot.

I expect the same, and I have to workarounds: - for me this strange behaviour occurs only on the first console, so I just switch it - you may also use the `reset' command, I tried that only manually yet, but it may be invoked during startup Werner -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=| T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.orgUniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed
ACPI blanks screen at the end of the boot process
Hi, I compiled 2.4.20 with all ACPI questions answered yes, powermgmt yes and apm no. When booting all looks nice until the very ned. Network seems to be up, at least the boot process is past dhcp, but I haven't seen any x-stuff yet and then the console blanks and nothing happens anymore. It does not respond to CTRL+ALT+BS and CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+F7. When compiling with apm and acpi all off, the machine works fine. When compiling with acpi off and apm on, the machine works fine and does even suspend when closing the lid. So a) Any idea, why acpi does blank my screen and b) what are the reasons to switch to acpi? Afaik suspend wouldn't work with acpi, would it? I am using a Samsung Q10. Cheers, Mariano

Otherwise your BIOS may be considered as badly > broken. ;) Thanks for all the replies! It does indeed seem to be a problem with suspend and so I just disabled that in the BIOS as another respondent suggested. It was not a suspend-to-disk issue because it had only been on battery power for a couple of hours (S2D time in BIOS was 8 hours) and had plenty of battery life left. In fact, after I got Debian reinstalled, I manually went into suspend mode and it simply refuses to come out again, or rather it appears to start to awaken, but immediately reenters suspend mode, and I'm forced to power cycle. I don't know why it does this, but since I know what causes it I can just avoid the problem, hopefully, by disabling the suspend functionality altogether. Not a huge issue for me since I only use it on battery power for 1 or 2 hour periods at most. And, for the record, it is a Dell. Latitude C840. Thanks again. Gary

ANN: Infrared-HOWTO 3.5
Hi, there is a new issue of the InfraRed-HOWTO available in different formats: HTML http://tuxmobil.org/howtos.html SGML http://tuxmobil.org/howtos.html IPK feed for PDAs http://tuxmobil.org/feed.html Please note these URLs have moved from mobilix.org to tuxmobil.org because of severe trademark trouble with Asterix and Obelix. A documentation of the trademark case is at http://tuxmobil.org/mobilix_asterix.html The Infrared-HOWTO provides an introduction to Linux and infrared devices and how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDA project. This package uses IrDA(TM) compliant standards. IrDA(TM) is an industrial standard for infrared wireless communication, and most laptops made after January 1996 are equipped with an IrDA(TM) compliant infrared transceiver. Infrared ports let you communicate with printers, modems, fax machines, LANs, and other laptops. Remote Control (RC) via infrared is the aim of the Linux Infrared Remote Control - LIRC project, and also described in this HOWTO. A note to Jean: I have not finished the re-ordering of the HOWTO according to your recommendation yet. But I'm on the way. Also I have asked to get the document into CVS at the Linux Documentation Project. But I haven't got an answer yet. Werner Changes: - v3.5, 29 March 2003, - added new dongles to /etc/modules.conf, - added link to IrCOMM2k, - added links to LIRC progs (lircemu, tonto), - added some more infos about OBEX, - removed a misleading reference to setserial, - removed obsolete IrLAN stuff (irlan_client, irlan_server modules), - added warning about IrLAN currently unmaintainded, - corrected wrong issue date of v3.4, - changed all URLs from mobilix.org to tuxmobil.org and other URL corrections, - converted whole document to XML 4.1.2 (all tags are now lowercase, some closing tags added), - rearranged the order of some chapters (SIR, FIR, dongles), - chapter about cell phone connection rewritten (added link to scmxx, added generic instructions, thanks to Matthias Schmidt), - added chapter about connections to PocketPC (thanks to Stanislav Sokolov), - minor changes -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=| T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.orgUniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed
Problems withs uspend on IBM thinkpad 380xd - screens stay blank on resume
I am trying to get suspend, hibernate, etc. working on an IBM thinkpad 380xd. I managed to recompile a kernel with the thinkpad modules included. The problem I am having is that the laptop seems to enter supsend OK, but on resume, the display stays blank (the backlight turns on though). I can ping, telnet, etc. to the laptop, but no consoles are viewable. I am using text consoles right now, and I plan to use X "on demand" rather than on boot. I have X turned off while I try to fiure this suspend stuff out. Both Fn-F4 on the keyboard and apm --suspend seem to exhibit this problem. BTW, I have used Linux before, but I am new to Debian. I am running the 3.0r1 stable distribution. I started with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. If it is helpful, here is what kernel sources I used: kernel 2.4.18 apmd 3.0.2 (from stock debian binary package--did not compile this) thinkpad-source 3.5 pcmcia-cs 3.1.33 The laptop model is 2635FAU Here are the APM options I compiled in the kernel: CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_ACPI is not set CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set Are there some things I should set up related to tpctl? I have used that utility to query BIOS settings from the new kernel without problems. I'm not sure if I need to modify APM mode scripts or something (like ejecting cards, etc.) because I haven't figured out how Debian handles those events. I don't know if it matters, but I turned off PCMCIA support in the kernel in order to use pcmcia-cs instead. The latter works with my SMC-8035TX ethernet card. Plus I think I need this to get a Linksys WPC11 ver 3 working as well (ala linux-wlan--I saw a HOWTO on ldp for this using pcmcia-cs). The irony is that Fn-F3 (turn off display) works fine and I can wake up the display from that with no problems. I also enabled the autoblank after timeout feature via PS2.EXe under Dos, and that seems to work OK. I enabled the latter because I noticed that the APM features of Linux would blank the display, but do not turn off the backlight. To clarify, the problems I am having are related to suspend (Fn-F4). apm --suspend seems to have the same problem. Hibernate doesn't work yet (yes, I have a hiber file on a DOs partition, but I read in the FAQ on linux-thinkpad.org that there are some other things that need to be modified first). -- Dwaine Gonyier [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mouse cursor corrupted on "BAT LOW" warning
If I let my battery get too low, the BIOS brings up a "BAT LOW" warning. After that happens, my mouse cursor gets changed to be the words "BAT LOW". There does not seem to be a way to disable this feature of the BIOS. If I switch to a virtual console and then back to X, the mouse reverts to being an arrow, but shrunken down, repeated an inch to the right (so there are two arrows), and has a bunch of garbage below the two. Sometimes, restarting X restores the cursor, but often it doesn't. How do I prevent this from happening? Any leads for what documentation to look at? (found nothing in the howto's or on tuxmobil) I'm running a Gateway Solo 9150. Upgrading to the latest BIOS (12.03) did not solve the problem. The graphics chip is an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro AGP-133. TIA Regards, Neil
Newbie to Linux Questions
I am in the preliminary process of converting my IBM Thinkpad 770 from Win98se to linux and have a few questions. 1. Is there anything special I need to know before I start this about setups? I have seen the web page refering to this laptop and debian linux but some of the links are dead. 2. Can linux accomidate all of the ports I have/need such as pcmcia cards, infared, USB? 3. Also in the process of getting a cable modem so is there anything I need to know/do in the setup special to handle this? 4. Any advice in any other aspects to this subject would be a big help as I am totally new to linux. Jacob Tennant K8JWT

I mean, you'll have to add usb and pcmcia support under kernel (debian kernels habe both, you won't need to recompile one yourself), and also will need to install a daemon (a special program) to detect the hardware and load the drivers. the packet names are: pcmcia-cs (i think) hotplug (for usb support) > 3.

The first one would be not to use Debian as your first Linux distro, unless you want to learn a lot, read a lot and work hard. For begginers Mandrake Linux works great, it has a great hardware detection system and will configure your system without asking you almost anything. Once you learn how to move around on linux systems, you'll be able to put your hands on Debian! If you want to try linux first (without the need of installing anything), download Knoppix (a live-cd distribution based on Debian). You can get it at: www.knoppix.org And if you like it it has the option to be installed on your hard disk (you'll need 2 Gigs as the CD is higly compressed). To install knoppix: once you are in KDE desktop, press Ctrl+Alt +F2 (any Fx key with x between 1 and 5 or 6, to change to that console) and then type: knoppix-hdinstall (or something similar) Hope this will help you.

It should have everything you need to have a functioning linux system, get on the internet and retrieve any missing pieces via apt. I have not looked in a while, the only possible issue may be missing pcmcia (which is obviously a problem). If pcmcia is missing you need cd 2. You should not need any of the other cds.

Strange thing with framebuffer
Hi, since I added `ywrap' parameter in my lilo.conf's 'video=vesa:ywrap', I have notice strange behaviour: every now and then my screen get shifted downwards by two lines (which makes bottom lines unreadable, as they are "off the screen" then). After awhile those two lines dissapear and everything comes back to normal. That happens quite regularly, so I expect some cycle. The kernel documentation says this: You can pass options to vesafb using "video=vesa:option" on the kernel command line. Multiple options should be separated by comma, like this: "video=vesa:ypan,invers" Accepted options: inversno comment... ypan enable display panning using the VESA protected mode interface. The visible screen is just a window of the video memory, console scrolling is done by changing the start of the window. pro:* scrolling (fullscreen) is fast, because there is no need to copy around data. * You'll get scrollback (the Shift-PgUp thing), the video memory can be used as scrollback buffer kontra: * scrolling only parts of the screen causes some ugly flicker effects (boot logo flickers for example). ywrap Same as ypan, but assumes your gfx board can wrap-around the video memory (i.e. starts reading from top if it reaches the end of video memory). Faster than ypan. ...has it anything to do with video memory and mtrr settings? To speed things up, I'm using following command to set mtrr's (this is copied from X settings; `mtrr' parameter passed to framebuffer driver was setting my card as 4MB and it is 8MB): # # set MTRR registers # now, this is supposed to speed thing up - while in console (X sets this by itself) # echo "base=0x4000 size=0x80 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr I wouldn't like to resign from `ywrap' options: it's fast and I'm working in "text mode" (sic! as this is fb after all :-) a lot.

ACPI blanks screen at the end of the boot process
Hi, I compiled 2.4.20 with all ACPI questions answered yes, powermgmt yes and apm no. When booting all looks nice until the very ned. Network seems to be up, at least the boot process is past dhcp, but I haven't seen any x-stuff yet and then the console blanks and nothing happens anymore. It does not respond to CTRL+ALT+BS and CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+F7. When compiling with apm and acpi all off, the machine works fine. When compiling with acpi off and apm on, the machine works fine and does even suspend when closing the lid. So a) Any idea, why acpi does blank my screen and b) what are the reasons to switch to acpi? Afaik suspend wouldn't work with acpi, would it? I am using a Samsung Q10.

Otherwise your BIOS may be considered as badly > broken. ;) Thanks for all the replies! It does indeed seem to be a problem with suspend and so I just disabled that in the BIOS as another respondent suggested. It was not a suspend-to-disk issue because it had only been on battery power for a couple of hours (S2D time in BIOS was 8 hours) and had plenty of battery life left. In fact, after I got Debian reinstalled, I manually went into suspend mode and it simply refuses to come out again, or rather it appears to start to awaken, but immediately reenters suspend mode, and I'm forced to power cycle. I don't know why it does this, but since I know what causes it I can just avoid the problem, hopefully, by disabling the suspend functionality altogether. Not a huge issue for me since I only use it on battery power for 1 or 2 hour periods at most. And, for the record, it is a Dell. Latitude C840. Thanks again.

ANN: Infrared-HOWTO 3.5
Hi, there is a new issue of the InfraRed-HOWTO available in different formats: HTML http://tuxmobil.org/howtos.html SGML http://tuxmobil.org/howtos.html IPK feed for PDAs http://tuxmobil.org/feed.html Please note these URLs have moved from mobilix.org to tuxmobil.org because of severe trademark trouble with Asterix and Obelix. A documentation of the trademark case is at http://tuxmobil.org/mobilix_asterix.html The Infrared-HOWTO provides an introduction to Linux and infrared devices and how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDA project. This package uses IrDA(TM) compliant standards. IrDA(TM) is an industrial standard for infrared wireless communication, and most laptops made after January 1996 are equipped with an IrDA(TM) compliant infrared transceiver. Infrared ports let you communicate with printers, modems, fax machines, LANs, and other laptops. Remote Control (RC) via infrared is the aim of the Linux Infrared Remote Control - LIRC project, and also described in this HOWTO. A note to Jean: I have not finished the re-ordering of the HOWTO according to your recommendation yet. But I'm on the way. Also I have asked to get the document into CVS at the Linux Documentation Project. But I haven't got an answer yet. Werner Changes: - v3.5, 29 March 2003, - added new dongles to /etc/modules.conf, - added link to IrCOMM2k, - added links to LIRC progs (lircemu, tonto), - added some more infos about OBEX, - removed a misleading reference to setserial, - removed obsolete IrLAN stuff (irlan_client, irlan_server modules), - added warning about IrLAN currently unmaintainded, - corrected wrong issue date of v3.4, - changed all URLs from mobilix.org to tuxmobil.org and other URL corrections, - converted whole document to XML 4.1.2 (all tags are now lowercase, some closing tags added), - rearranged the order of some chapters (SIR, FIR, dongles), - chapter about cell phone connection rewritten (added link to scmxx, added generic instructions, thanks to Matthias Schmidt), - added chapter about connections to PocketPC (thanks to Stanislav Sokolov), - minor changes -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=| T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.orgUniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problems withs uspend on IBM thinkpad 380xd - screens stay blank on resume
I am trying to get suspend, hibernate, etc. working on an IBM thinkpad 380xd. I managed to recompile a kernel with the thinkpad modules included. The problem I am having is that the laptop seems to enter supsend OK, but on resume, the display stays blank (the backlight turns on though). I can ping, telnet, etc. to the laptop, but no consoles are viewable. I am using text consoles right now, and I plan to use X "on demand" rather than on boot. I have X turned off while I try to fiure this suspend stuff out. Both Fn-F4 on the keyboard and apm --suspend seem to exhibit this problem. BTW, I have used Linux before, but I am new to Debian. I am running the 3.0r1 stable distribution. I started with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. If it is helpful, here is what kernel sources I used: kernel 2.4.18 apmd 3.0.2 (from stock debian binary package--did not compile this) thinkpad-source 3.5 pcmcia-cs 3.1.33 The laptop model is 2635FAU Here are the APM options I compiled in the kernel: CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_ACPI is not set CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set Are there some things I should set up related to tpctl? I have used that utility to query BIOS settings from the new kernel without problems. I'm not sure if I need to modify APM mode scripts or something (like ejecting cards, etc.) because I haven't figured out how Debian handles those events. I don't know if it matters, but I turned off PCMCIA support in the kernel in order to use pcmcia-cs instead. The latter works with my SMC-8035TX ethernet card. Plus I think I need this to get a Linksys WPC11 ver 3 working as well (ala linux-wlan--I saw a HOWTO on ldp for this using pcmcia-cs). The irony is that Fn-F3 (turn off display) works fine and I can wake up the display from that with no problems. I also enabled the autoblank after timeout feature via PS2.EXe under Dos, and that seems to work OK. I enabled the latter because I noticed that the APM features of Linux would blank the display, but do not turn off the backlight. To clarify, the problems I am having are related to suspend (Fn-F4). apm --suspend seems to have the same problem. Hibernate doesn't work yet (yes, I have a hiber file on a DOs partition, but I read in the FAQ on linux-thinkpad.org that there are some other things that need to be modified first). -- Dwaine Gonyier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mouse cursor corrupted on "BAT LOW" warning
If I let my battery get too low, the BIOS brings up a "BAT LOW" warning. After that happens, my mouse cursor gets changed to be the words "BAT LOW". There does not seem to be a way to disable this feature of the BIOS. If I switch to a virtual console and then back to X, the mouse reverts to being an arrow, but shrunken down, repeated an inch to the right (so there are two arrows), and has a bunch of garbage below the two. Sometimes, restarting X restores the cursor, but often it doesn't. How do I prevent this from happening? Any leads for what documentation to look at? (found nothing in the howto's or on tuxmobil) I'm running a Gateway Solo 9150. Upgrading to the latest BIOS (12.03) did not solve the problem. The graphics chip is an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro AGP-133.

Newbie to Linux Questions
I am in the preliminary process of converting my IBM Thinkpad 770 from Win98se to linux and have a few questions. 1. Is there anything special I need to know before I start this about setups? I have seen the web page refering to this laptop and debian linux but some of the links are dead. 2. Can linux accomidate all of the ports I have/need such as pcmcia cards, infared, USB? 3. Also in the process of getting a cable modem so is there anything I need to know/do in the setup special to handle this? 4. Any advice in any other aspects to this subject would be a big help as I am totally new to linux. Jacob Tennant K8JWT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I mean, you'll have to add usb and pcmcia support under kernel (debian kernels habe both, you won't need to recompile one yourself), and also will need to install a daemon (a special program) to detect the hardware and load the drivers. the packet names are: pcmcia-cs (i think) hotplug (for usb support) > 3.

The first one would be not to use Debian as your first Linux distro, unless you want to learn a lot, read a lot and work hard. For begginers Mandrake Linux works great, it has a great hardware detection system and will configure your system without asking you almost anything. Once you learn how to move around on linux systems, you'll be able to put your hands on Debian! If you want to try linux first (without the need of installing anything), download Knoppix (a live-cd distribution based on Debian). You can get it at: www.knoppix.org And if you like it it has the option to be installed on your hard disk (you'll need 2 Gigs as the CD is higly compressed). To install knoppix: once you are in KDE desktop, press Ctrl+Alt +F2 (any Fx key with x between 1 and 5 or 6, to change to that console) and then type: knoppix-hdinstall (or something similar) Hope this will help you.
