Anybody installed on HP Pavilion XH215?
Or as anybody even heard of an HP Pavilion XH215? I can get that model for a pretty decent price at my local CostCo. (a club warehouse seller), but I haven't been able to find much info re: the chipsets, etc in the laptop. Of course, if I do purchase the laptop, I intend to install Debian. So, back to my original question: does anybody have experience with this model? Thanks, Alan Chen __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
Re: Anybody installed on HP Pavilion XH215?
The model seems very similiar to their N5000 series in general. The XH215 specs are: PIII 750 194MB RAM (not one of the more common RAM demoninations) CD-RW 13.3" screen 56k+NIC 20G HD PCMCIA slots of some sort Sound of some sort Unfortunately, CostCo has great prices, but pretty much puts their merchandise in warehouses, with stacked cardboard boxes. They're really good about selecting high-quality stuff in general though. I'll probably think about it for a while to see if HP rolls out some info on their website. I'll probably buy it anyway. :) --- "John R. Sheets" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Feb 26, 2001, Alan Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <> > > Nope, haven't heard of it. Is it brand new?

Compiling tulip driver
I've just installed Debian on my new HP Pavilion XH215. (a N5xxx equivalent) One minor wrinkle is that the ethernet device is an Accton EN2422 MiniPCI. Apparently, there is an updated tulip driver which recognizes my ethernet device. I've downloaded it and am now looking for the simplest method to recompile my tulip driver. So far I'm considering 1) recompiling the whole kernel and having the new tulip.c file picked up in the process 2) trying to recompile just the tulip.o module and use it with my stock 2.2r2 install. So are there any recommendations, dire warnings, etc? --Alan __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

Hot keys on HP Pavilion
I'm trying to get my hot keys to respond on my HP Pavilion. There's a mail key, a www key, a help key, and a misc key. I've tried xev and scankey -s and neither shows any response to keypresses on those buttons. I'm willing to do some coding to get them to work eventually, but am at a loss for where to start looking to start that process. Can anyone point me in the right direction? --Alan __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: compaq internet keys
BTW, I think you might need to be in a non-X console for showkey to work. I have similiar keys on my HP laptop, but I haven't gotten to work yet. Talking to the author of the keyboard howto, if showkey doesn't respond to keypresses for your "zone" keys, you might need to play with some kernel code to see if the kernel is even receiving data for those buttons via the kb interface. I haven't had time to do this yet, but it's on my list of "nice if I could get it working" features for my laptop -- just after "upgrade to 2.4 to see if ACPI let's me suspend,resume" In my case, I suspect that the HP buttons are attached to some special purpose h/w in the laptop. They're also near a microswitch that shuts off the LCD when it's sufficiently closed. I'd be interested in how it goes for your buttons -- either on the list or off. --Alan --- Peter Cordes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Mar 26, 2001 at 12:47:59AM -0500, Brian Stults wrote: > > Does anyone know how to remap the "internet zone" keys on a Compaq > > 1800?

Re: compaq internet keys
Well, there was no joy on /proc/stat. None of the interrupts responded to "zone" keypresses, no interrupts on the "rocker" switch on my keypad either. I'm thinking that something needs to be enabled first. Back to plan A, look at kernel code. :) Thanks anyway, it's still a useful tip. --Alan --- Peter Cordes wrote: > On Mon, Mar 26, 2001 at 10:50:14AM -0800, Alan Chen wrote: > > BTW, I think you might need to be in a non-X console for showkey > to > > work. > > Yes, of course. > > > I have similiar keys on my HP laptop, but I haven't gotten to > > work yet.

Re: HP Pavillion n5270
I've gotten a HP Pavilion XH215 working. I think they're similiar. I have an Accton EN2242 ethernet (tulip based) and a ESS Allegro Modem (non-operational win-modem) in mine. The sound will supposedly work, but I haven't gotten around to installing the alsa drivers yet. The video was a S2 Savage IX Mobile and it worked fine. I'm running Debian 2.2r2 with the latest updates. I had to do some tweaking the ethernet working. The tulip driver just needed the mfr. ID added to various tables in the tulip.c file.
