thank's for the hint! I did it already and I have also the newest BIOS and a 
custom DSDT installed. I am happy with kernel 2.6.5 where everything is 
working fine, therefor there is not really an important reason to upgrade to 
2.6.7 for me. Let's see, maybe the ACPI problem will go away with some of the 
next kernel versions.

Andreas

Hi.

I missed the beginning of this thread, but are you sure that the HF (high 
frequency) part of your WLAN card is enabled and that the HF part of the card 
is not damaged?

If the HF part is not enabled then the driver is namely able to detect the 
card without problems, but the card itself is not able to send and receive 
data.

On some notebooks you can enable the HF part by keystrokes, on others by 
software.

Regards,
Andreas

X window woes on HP pavilion ze4600

2004-06-23 Thread peter robinson
Hi,

Thanks to those who answered some questions of mine some days ago. I have now 
tried several variations upon several themes in order to get debian (v. 3.0) 
on my laptop (HP pavilion ze4600), and had gotten a stable command line 
version running. I thereupon started X via startx which caused for some 
reason first a KDE setup dialog to appear (everything freezes) and after a 
reboot a gnome login dialog (again, everything freezes).
I presume that the configuration of X is completely wrong so that I have no 
ability to use keyboard or touch pad. 
Is there a boot setting for the debian rescue boot (using a 3.0 DVD) that will 
prevent X from starting so that I will be able to change the settings of X? 
Any other ideas?

Thanks
Peter



Alsa setup broken after upgrade

2004-06-23 Thread Jeff Bradberry

I have a mixed testing/unstable system running on a HP Omnibook 4150
laptop [sound chipset is cs4232].  Recently, I upgraded a number of
things, including gcc (2.95.4 -> 3.3.3), alsa (0.9.4 -> 1.0.5a), and
kernel-source (2.4.19 -> 2.4.26).  Before the upgrades, I had a
working Alsa setup, but now attempts to load the snd-cs4232 module
fail with the errors:

/lib/modules/2.4.26/alsa/snd-cs4231-lib.o: /lib/modules/2.4.26/alsa/snd-cs4231-lib.o: 
unresolved symbol snd_dma_pointer

/lib/modules/2.4.26/alsa/snd-cs4231-lib.o: insmod snd-cs4232 failed


Executing "cat /proc/asound/cards" results in:
--- no soundcards ---


Also, alsaconf fails to find my hardware.

The output of lspci shows that the kernel still sees the sound hardware:
:01:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicMedia 
256AV Audio] (rev 12)


My kernels were custom built using make-kpkg.  Sound support was
staticly compiled into the kernel, and no OSS modules were selected.
Please note also that my previous version of Alsa was after the snd_
prefix was depreciated for module options, so I had already changed my
configuration to correct any problems caused by that.

Re: Re: not enable to close X server to install latest n-vidia drivers

2004-06-23 Thread Jed Clampett
Thanks, I had the EXACT same problem as the person you responded to on 
google.
I could not close X in debian to install the Nvidea drivers.

I issued the command you so kindly provided
chvt 1 && /etc/ini.d/gdm stop
Now my system wont boot.
I hope your just a total moron who just doesn't know shit, cause the Linux 
community doesn't need
malicious dickweeds.

That is the correct way to go about it (though I use CTRL+ALT+F1 myself).

Neither of those commands could result in your system not booting.

If your nvidia install did not work, X was left broken and you boot to a display manager, then you will have problems, but you should end up at the console eventually and be able to revert your changes to X.

Personally I can get the NVIDIA drivers installed fine and use them, hwever on reboot the drivers will not load and I either need to revert to the nv driver or re-install the nvidia driver.  I have not bothered to investigate this further but it is annoying.

Tom
