Have you tried the package "vpnc" which is a free replacement of the
Cisco-client? It's working without a huge kernel module, allows
setting the routes yourself and has an option to turn off modifiying
resolv.conf :)

Your partitions should be remounted by laptop-mode with a considerably
larger commit interval (600 seconds by default). Is this done
correctly on all your journaled file systems in laptop-mode (check
with mount)?

There is a problem with recent versions of util-linux that cause mount
to show a partition type of unknown for the root partition. In this
case, you have to manually remount your root partition because the
laptop-mode script does not recognize the partition type.

What filesystems are you using?
Please attach the output from mount before and after running the laptop-mode
script.
When the script runs it should change the commit-time of the filesystem to
something large, to prevent kjournald to flush the journal every couple of
seconds.

Toshiba 2545XCDT + Netgear FA-410TX problems.

2004-07-16 Thread Robert Goley




I have done even more reading on this.  I have the PCMCIA card slots functioning properly.  The netgear card is listed working under linux and has under SuSE 7.3 in the past.  When  inserted it shows the config message that the module pcnet_cs was loaded but all three lights on the dongle flash on and off at the same time.  I believe that the resources are not being set properly as it is a 16 bit card.  Can anyone help/give instructions on getting the resources and setting them in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts?  It is a dual boot machine and the card works under windows so we can get correct info from that.  I just do not know what info to get and what format to put it into for the linux card services.  Thank in advance.

Creation of a linux-sony-z1 mailing list

2004-07-16 Thread Brouard Nicolas
Hi,

A few of happy owners of a Sony Z1 laptop having more or less
successfully installed Linux on it have decided recently to create a
mailing list specific to Sony Z1 series.

Even Sony laptops have different hardwares so we think that it might be
helpful to improve our specific knowledge, times to times, when new
kernels or softwares allow this specific hardware to work.

Most of the first subscribers to the list have already a web page
accessible from the http://tuxmobil.org/sony.html web site and there are
already other mailing lists concerning sony and laptop and at least
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], debianlaptop and
suse-laptop (Ich weiss dass Ich auf Deutch schreiben sollen hätte).

Thus, information is not unique but there are many Linux distros and
various currently used kernels, so being more specific on the hardware
could help.

Archives are publicly accessible at
http://listes.ined.fr/wws/arc/linux-sony-z1

You are welcome to subscribe by sending a simple mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (and unsubscribing by sending a
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and once your
subscription is confirmed by posting at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ACPI has made a lot of progress on kernel 2.6 and if suspend to ram (S3)
is still not there on Sony laptops, some people have suspend to disk
(S4) running with the latest kernel (2.6.7) and latest swsusp2 patches
(96 or 100 not 97 or 98). 

Also, forthcoming Alps patch lets you type on your keyboard safely.
Without the synaptics software and when your hands touch the pad
inadvertently, the cursor jumps somewhere into your text buffer. Now,
you can have the same comfort than if you had a synaptic pad and can use
the "auto-dev" protocol of XFree instead of the former "event" protocol.
This "event" protocol required a fixed event number for the pad but this
event number was varying according to other devices plugged and after
suspending/resuming.

It is true that such questions are not specific to Sony Z1 but others
like the battery duration (3, 4 or 5(?) hours) are.

The list will end when all the hardware will be working successfully and
we hope that it will be very soon.

A while ago, I looked at the code in one of the filesystems (either ext3
or jfs - the two fs's I use), and I wasn't convinced that the code
correctly saved the -o remount,commitinterval value. I convinced myself it
only got set at mount time, not at remount time - but I am very likely
wrong, given that I am not a kernel hacker, and probably missed some
subtlety.

I have never had any luck with the laptop mode patches. Dammit.

ASUS M6 problem

2004-07-16 Thread Borislav Petkov
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi there guys,
i have an ASUS M6742 centrino notebook and when i run a custom kernel it locks 
up completely so only a hard reset solves the situation. I also have 
"spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7" on syslog but after reading almost 
everything on lkml seems that this is unrelated. The absurd thing is that 
when i boot into win xp it runs fine. I turned off APIC completely in the 
kernel but no change. It locks even when I boot a knoppix cd so it hardly can 
be a wrong kernel configuration.
Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Boris.

It should work fine with ext3, reiserfs and xfs with kernel 2.6. With
2.4 only ext3 is functional (although it is somewhat faulty). I have
patches for 2.4 if anyone wants, didn't try to push them through yet
and I doubt they will be accepted as 2.4 doesn't take too many changes
other then bug fixes anymore.

dri/3daccel radeon9600

2004-07-16 Thread my
Dear Friends,
   Could someone please be so kind as to tell me how to get dri enabled in
sarge.  The install went perfectly, but all I need to do is somehow
recompile the kernel I already have in as few steps as
possible(configuration I can do) but I need more consise or precise help
than the stuff from google.
   I presume that if I use a vanilla kernel, do make config, then make
install, that should be enough, or is there a debian way that does eveything
for me, than one can do in three or four steps rather than two pages.
After recompile, the ati proprietary drivers should simply install from the
alien made deb, then fglxrconfig and I should be able to load dri as a
module,  or am I wrong, and why?
  Any helpis greatly appreciated, as I have everything else is sarge
working, including perfect wireless, so this is last impediment to windows
free living.

Best wishes,
Martin

suse-laptop (Ich weiss dass Ich auf Deutch schreiben sollen hätte).

Thus, information is not unique but there are many Linux distros and
various currently used kernels, so being more specific on the hardware
could help.

ACPI has made a lot of progress on kernel 2.6 and if suspend to ram (S3)
is still not there on Sony laptops, some people have suspend to disk
(S4) running with the latest kernel (2.6.7) and latest swsusp2 patches
(96 or 100 not 97 or 98). 

Also, forthcoming Alps patch lets you type on your keyboard safely.
Without the synaptics software and when your hands touch the pad
inadvertently, the cursor jumps somewhere into your text buffer. Now,
you can have the same comfort than if you had a synaptic pad and can use
the "auto-dev" protocol of XFree instead of the former "event" protocol.
This "event" protocol required a fixed event number for the pad but this
event number was varying according to other devices plugged and after
suspending/resuming.

It is true that such questions are not specific to Sony Z1 but others
like the battery duration (3, 4 or 5(?) hours) are.

The list will end when all the hardware will be working successfully and
we hope that it will be very soon.

Hoping that some of you will also subscribe to this more specific list.

Cheers,

A while ago, I looked at the code in one of the filesystems (either ext3
or jfs - the two fs's I use), and I wasn't convinced that the code
correctly saved the -o remount,commitinterval value. I convinced myself it
only got set at mount time, not at remount time - but I am very likely
wrong, given that I am not a kernel hacker, and probably missed some
subtlety.

I have never had any luck with the laptop mode patches. Dammit.

ASUS M6 problem

2004-07-16 Thread Borislav Petkov
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi there guys,
i have an ASUS M6742 centrino notebook and when i run a custom kernel it locks 
up completely so only a hard reset solves the situation. I also have 
"spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7" on syslog but after reading almost 
everything on lkml seems that this is unrelated. The absurd thing is that 
when i boot into win xp it runs fine. I turned off APIC completely in the 
kernel but no change. It locks even when I boot a knoppix cd so it hardly can 
be a wrong kernel configuration.
Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Boris.

It should work fine with ext3, reiserfs and xfs with kernel 2.6. With
2.4 only ext3 is functional (although it is somewhat faulty). I have
patches for 2.4 if anyone wants, didn't try to push them through yet
and I doubt they will be accepted as 2.4 doesn't take too many changes
other then bug fixes anymore.

dri/3daccel radeon9600

2004-07-16 Thread my
Dear Friends,
   Could someone please be so kind as to tell me how to get dri enabled in
sarge.  The install went perfectly, but all I need to do is somehow
recompile the kernel I already have in as few steps as
possible(configuration I can do) but I need more consise or precise help
than the stuff from google.
   I presume that if I use a vanilla kernel, do make config, then make
install, that should be enough, or is there a debian way that does eveything
for me, than one can do in three or four steps rather than two pages.
After recompile, the ati proprietary drivers should simply install from the
alien made deb, then fglxrconfig and I should be able to load dri as a
module,  or am I wrong, and why?
  Any helpis greatly appreciated, as I have everything else is sarge
working, including perfect wireless, so this is last impediment to windows
free living.

Best wishes,
Martin
