Re: Changing to X.org (was XF86Config-4)
I tried Xorg with my Debian Sid laptop, a thinkpad 770x , and I found out that the XV extension is buggy . My laptop has Trident Cyber937DVD and I use 1280 x 1024 resolution and whenever I use mplayer all i get is a garbage in a window. Whenever I use a lower resolution like 1024x 768 ,video playback returns to normal.. I tried googling for this bug but I got nowhere so I just returned to Xfree.. --- Lars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Couple of questions, before trying to change to x.org: > 1) I found out no apt-get other than backport: deb > http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xorg-x11/ sarge main > What works best backport or http://x.org/ regarding dependencies? > (synaptic-driver is also on backport) > > 2) What about xfs,gdm, everything.

Re: [T41] Matching APM functionnalities with ACPI
Hi, A follow-up with some problems solved (and how to solve them, for the archive), as well as one pending issue (almost a show-stopper for me).

Hard disk makes?
I'm going to head to Frys and look for a new disk for my Toshiba 2805-S302. The machine came with a 20GB drive, but I find online sites selling 80GB drives for that laptop -- so I assume that large of a drive will work. Any recommendations on which brands to use (or avoid)? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You should not use p4-clockmod module it only does throttling which is quite unefficient and if, it should be done through /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling interface.

I researched this pretty exhaustively before I bought larger drives for 2 laptops (Thinkpad 600E and Dell 8600). I got Hitachi 80G drives, 5400 rpm. The 5400 rpm drives were a good compromise of speed, power consumption and price. 7200 rpms are faster and cost more. Everything I read prior to buying said that Hitachis are good drives. No problems so far. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Hard disk makes?
I've had good luck for several months with a Hitachi 7200 RPM 60 GB unit. I think it comes in an 80 GB size nowadays. Fujitsu HDDs have also worked fine in my Thinkpads.

Naming interfaces
For some odd reason my network interfaces have swapped around. I thought the usual remedy was to use nameif but that doesn't seem to work. Attached is my /etc/network/interfaces Is there some way of getting rid of wifiX? I assume it's just the same as my ethX and I find it confusing. I hate it how dhclient slows down my boot when there is no network plugged into my T30. I think there is a package to do that. Any recommendations? Best wishes, # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

Do you have an example how it works? frodo$ sudo ifrename eth2 00:0D:60:2E:A9:F5 Error: Can't open configuration file `/etc/iftab': No such file or directory Stuff that used to be in networking has to be now split out to /etc/iftab !? Nasty! And OMG. Do I really have to patch networking as detailed: vim /usr/share/doc/ifrename/HOTPLUG.txt.gz +227 !?!? > > I hate it how dhclient slows down my boot when there is no network > > plugged into my T30.
