[Wireless] network disconnections

2005-12-02 Thread Detlev Casanova
Hello !

I Have a problem with 2 Computers accessing the internet through a wireless 
home network. They are often disconnected from the router. (+/-3 times in 10 
minutes !) They are very closer (< 1 m yes i use metric units ;-) ). Should 
it be the problem ? 

Cards work both with NdisWrapper. 

I have just discovered that if one of them is off, I stay connected to the 
network.

Sorry if my English isn't understandable :-)

The IP on each cards are 192.168.123.106 and 192.168.123.107.  
I've just notice that if only both Linux's machines are connected, it work 
perfectly. So the problem is when I boot my father's computer (running 
Windows). I'll try it later to be sure.

All computers can communicate between them.

No. It's only connected by Wireless. The computer has a network card but it 
isn't used. 

Currently, his computer can't boot ! I don't know why. I'll check tomorow.

Thank you for your answers.

Battery granularity problem

2005-12-21 Thread Detlev Casanova
Hello,

  debian detlev # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
  present: yes
  design capacity: 4000 mAh
  last full capacity:  3456 mAh
  battery technology:  rechargeable
  design voltage:  14800 mV
  design capacity warning: 420 mAh
  design capacity low: 156 mAh
* capacity granularity 1:  264 mAh
* capacity granularity 2:  3780 mAh 
  model number:GC86508SAT0
  serial number:
  battery type:Li-Ion 
  OEM info:SANYO

I think that I have a problem with the granularity... My laptop is an Acer 
Aspire 1674wlmi

I had to give the kernel (2.6.12) a correct dsdt to have informations about my 
battery. 

Is it normal that I have BAT1 instead of BAT0 ?

Good afternoon.

Detlev

The granularity means how precise are the informations shown by the ACPI, I 
think ;-)

The last full capacity can be 20 % smaller than the design capacity. That's 
normal.

But I think my granularity is a little too big.

But the capacity's yet precise. :-S

It compares the last full capacity and the remaining capacity (shown by 
'cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state' ). So in this exemple, my battery's fully 
charged : 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  charged
present rate:0 mA
remaining capacity:  3456 mAh
present voltage: 16576 mV
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
present: yes
design capacity: 4000 mAh
last full capacity:  3456 mAh
battery technology:  rechargeable
design voltage:  14800 mV
design capacity warning: 420 mAh
design capacity low: 156 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  264 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  3780 mAh
model number:GC86508SAT0
serial number:
battery type:Li-Ion
OEM info:SANYO

I've no other informations about it. Do you know a website about the battery 
state and Linux ? Maybe on http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ ... 

Detlev.

[Touchpad] doesn't work after starting a GTK application ?!?

2005-09-19 Thread Detlev Casanova
Hello !

I've got a odd problem : When I start A GTK Application, My touchpad stop 
working.
First I have to say that to get my touchpad working when debian start I have 
to run this command : 

# echo -n "psmouse" > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/drvctl 

But I've got a odd problem : When I start A GTK Application, My touchpad stop 
working ! (I often use Gaim and Totem) and i have to re-run this command to 
get it working again.

I have to run this as root.

I use KDE but having some troubles with kaffeine and kopete ;-)

My computer's an Acer Aspire 1674WLMi.

I wait for your help.

Detlev.

I have to put these lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to get my touchpad working, 
of course and these lines already are in the file.
