Yes, you right.
I mean the built-in SD-Card-Reader. And not the External SD-Card Reader
that is conencted over the usb port.
Did you any one know how if is drivers for this built-in reader ???

there is a rather new driver for MMC cards in 2.6, you could try
if that works, as for standard flash memory MMC and SD are compatible.

In your place I wouldn't buy SD, it is a closed standard that
supports DRM.  I'd go for MMC instead, which is an open standard.

Read the instructions by pressing F1. If the laptop screen is blank,
you probably need to set the vga option. It is shown in the help
screens.

Dell Inspiron 2650 goes blank after installation of NVidia drivers

[Mads Munch Hansen]

Hi, when installing the latest (6629) nVidia driver on Sarge, with a
2.6.8-2-686 kernel, X seems to halt the entire system, turning off the
monitor, while the system remains turned on, it is inoperable and a forced
shutdown is needed to reboot. Any advice on getting X to work with the
nvidia drivers would be greatly apperciated!

wireless network card / pcmcia support

[Loz]

Hello, I'm cross-posting this to see if I can get an answer. I am
running a custom Debian Sarge-type kernel, part of the DeMuDi Agnula
project. I am a bit of a newbie, so anything obvious I've missed,
please tell me, and anything that I need to do, please explain it to
me as you would a child or well trained dog.

Thanks

Loz

Subject: [a-users] wireless network card / pcmcia support
To: AGNULA user forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Thanks to those who helped. Now I've got the PCMCIA support working on
my card. Following these - http://theblackmoor.net/dwl650.shtml -
instructions, I'm trying to install the drivers for my wireless card,
a DLink DWL-650. I've got PCMCIA-CS working thanks to dselect and
apt-get. But there is no entry for those drivers in the demudi
sources.list.

I thought I was being clever by adding in the current Debian Unstable
link into sources.list, and used dselect to get and install the WLAN
drivers. But, of course, it installs and configures them for a
different kernel, which then none of the ALSA stuff works. (This is
why I'm posting this here, rather than on Debian-Laptop)

But, when I follow the instructions, grab the latest version of the
WLAN drivers, untar them, and do a make config, I get the following
messages:

infrared:/usr/src/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0# make config

-- Linux WLAN Configuration Script -

The default responses are correct for most users.

Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: y

Build Prism2 PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [n]: y

Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [n]: y

Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [n]: y

Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]:
Linux source tree /usr/src/linux is incomplete or missing!
   The kernel header files are present, but not  the full source code.
   See the HOWTO for a list of FTP sites for current kernel sources.

Configuration failed

make: *** [config] Error 1

I have the source tree in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25, and a link to
that from /usr/src/linux, so it should find all the source quite
happily.

Is there anything I'm missing here, can anyone help me out? I'd really
like to get wireless working, if only to save me from having to unplug
my PC's network cable every time I want to do something on this laptop
involving the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Loz

Try the installation from the command line without X running.

kill X
remove the old nvidia module
install the new one
start X

maybe that will work, good luck!

Debian (SID) on 600m (Dell)

[Pablo Fischer]

Hello,

I bought a 600m and it arrived yesterday. I installed Debian and
everything is working nice. However, I would like to configure the
Xfree86 to get a better 'rendering'. 

Currently I'm using the last ATI (propietary) drivers for my card. Its a
ATI Radeon 9000. ATI released a few days ago their drivers to XFree 4.3,
thats why Im testing them ;-).

However, when I run glxgears I dont get more than 800 fps. Any
trick/idea how to get more?. I have seen sites where users says they get
more than 1200 fps.

I installed the ATI drivers as follow:

1. I Downloaded them from the ATI website (for XFree 4.3)
2. As they are rpm's, I extract the rpm using fileroller.
3. Once I get all the files/directories of the rpm I went to
lib/modules/fglrx/build_mode and typed: sh make.sh
4. Then, I went to ../fglrx and installed the module: sh make_install.sh
(or something like that).
5. Then, I loaded with modconf. And it appears when I type lsmod.

BTW, I compiled AGP as a module and I it 'installed' (appears on
lsmod). 

Any ideas or anybody that can mail me the XFconfig-4?. Its not a problem
to have 800 fps but.. I would like to have more for my games/movies.

Also, I get the same fps if I use the 'radeon' driver for my card.

Thanks,
Pablo

Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
disables horizontal scrolling

found this also:

http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/

Disabling horizontal scrolling will disable it for _any_ application,
also application which could benefit from it (scrolling a big image in
gqview or similar?). Probably disabling that behaviour in mozilla is a
better solution

Oh, I see now.  Well, based on what other people said about it being
unsupported, I suggest watching the OfficeMax ads and buying the $10
USB reader and submitting the $10 rebate.  That's how I got mine and
my brother's :-).  If you're not in the US, then maybe some other
local shop will have a similar deal or you can make arrangements with
someone who is to get it for you and ship it (but I have no idea how
much the shipping would cost).

initrd

[Willie McKemie]

I've installed kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386_2.4.27-2_i386.deb on a system 
with a ext3 filesystem.  It seems the kernel has ext3 configured as a 
module.  I THINK that that means I need to make a initrd for it?  I've 
tried "mkinitrd /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386" and similar things, but 
mkinitrd doesn't like anything I do.  The initrd and mkinitrd man pages 
do not enlighten me.  Can someone give me a recipe?

Re: initrd

[Stuart Prescott]

Hi Wille,

This answer comes from my vague memories of converting 2.4 systems to
ext3 (I'm now using a 2.6 kernel without an initrd so that I can suspend
to disk without problems!)

There is an EXT3-debian howto that I followed for this which was quite
nice:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-kernel.en.html

Look at section 7.2.4.


The 3 steps that are necessary are as follows


#1.  /etc/mkinitrd/modules should contain:

jdb
ext2
ext3

#2.  then the mkinitrd command is used to make the actual initrd. The
correct command will actually be called from the Debian kernel package's
post-inst script, so you could just tell your favourite package
management program to reinstall the kernel:

# apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386

or you could do it the slightly longer way:

# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386 /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386
# ln -sf /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386 /initrd 



#3.  finally, you need to tell grub/lilo to use the initrd. 

e.g. for lilo 

image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
initrd=/initrd
read-only


Of course all of my commands above (e.g. ln -sf ... /initrd) should be
adapted to suit your local installation and the conventions you have for
dealing with previous kernel images.



good luck!
Stuart
