Re: Turning off backlight of TFT display
hi, if it's a thinkpad (ibm) there is a tool called tpctl and is more or less equivalent to the ibm's orinigal dos tool ps2.exe and with this tool you can change the bios settings while running the machine. but i guess turning of the backlight is an bios option that you can't change with software. have a nice day, alias m.nine.six.

Re: Mach64 & 3D
hi, at first check if your card is supported from the libs: http://www.mesa3d.org/ http://glx.on.openprojects.net/ and other then check on which modes are ogl is supported. (for example my old riva 128 supports it till 16 bit 1024 or so). and if it is supported then (on most packages) it should be build in else you have to build the specific packages.

Re: Install Debian using PCMCIA Zip100 miniDrive
as far as i know it is posible to install the potato from a pcmcia device.

Re: Install Debian using PCMCIA Zip100 miniDrive
the problem is that the 2.2.x kernels doesn't support pcmcia. so you have to install the base system with the driver that you will be able to use the pcmcia. the rescue, root, driver 1,2,3, base 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,.. are avaible under dists/potato/main/disks-/current/images-.../ put the images to the disks and install the base system. and go further. and while installing read the step by step installation advices from the debian site for potato. have fun, alias m.nine.six.

Using a kernel > 2.2.14 will immediately crash your > notebook when pppd is started. yep that's right. but there is a solution. 1) build the ppp as module for kernels greater than 2.2.14. 2) overwrite the ppp.o file in /lib/modules//net with the module of 2.2.14. 3) to use the ltmodem.o module you have to use the use the -f option for insmod. insmod -f ltmodem 4) to use the ppp.o module you have also use the -f option for insmod. _BUT_ the slhc.o should be still insmod'ed into the kernel. so use insmod slhc insmod -f ppp 5) now use pon to start your connection. NOTE: i have a thinkpad and if i start the laptop with ac-power everything works fine but if i start the laptop with battery power then the system will crash (you even won't be able to remote login to restart your system). but i found a solution: i switched the 'PCI power management' from "auto" to "disabled". and now it works fine. NOTE2: i have still some hangs from lucent while using the connection but it's very rare.

Re: hibernation mode does not work
hi, i have a thinkpad 570. to use the hibernation mode you have to install the dos hibernation utility which comes from ibm. the hibernation file should be on it's own partition. as far as i know the utility creates its own partition (it should be primary and somekind of fat16 also called "ibm thinkpad hibernation partition" or something like that). you HAVE TO install this utility before you install anything on your laptop or else it wont work - like mine. also the apm -s set the pc only to sleep mode. so you have to use the key combination "ctrl+f12". there is also an utility for linux that you can check out: http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/ have fun, alias m.nine.six.

Otherwise is there any support for 2.4.0 coming from Lucent? as far as i know there is only gpl source is on http://www.close.u-net.com/ltmodem.html and the lucent doesn't support the end user. now you will ask: then how came the ltmodem.o module out? as you know this module is designed for redhat 6.2 so redhat asked for support lucent for it's modem and also redhat payed for it (as far as i read the mail from the developer on the net - sorry i don't no more know where it was). -- bye, alias m.nine.six.

cpu speed & bogomips
hi, i'm using an thinkpad 570 with pII 366 mhz with debian potato. sometimes after rebooting the bios shows me that my cpu speed is only 180 mhz. and also the linux kernel gets it as 180 mhz but then the bogoMips shows 360 as following: Detected 183630 kHz processor. Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 Calibrating delay loop... 363.72 BogoMIPS my question is: what's going on??? and also what i would know: is my box now slower than my 4 years old server??? thanks in advance. -- bye, alias m.nine.six. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

you should be in the `audio' user group.
usermod -G ,audio
and then make the /dev/dsp0 (because /dev/dsp is a link) writeable to
the audio group.
chown root.audio /dev/dsp0
chmod 660 /dev/dsp0
