loss of display when closing screen
I run debian mostly 2.0 with kernel 2.2.13, xserver-neomagic 1.1.0-1-1 on a Gateway solo 2500. Runs just great except: 1. When i close the display and open it again, then i only get a white screen. The only way to get the screen back is C-A-BS and new login. I van avoid it by switching to console 1 by C-A-F1 before closing and switching back after open. 2. When i leave the machine unattended line-powered get a errormessage: "Nov 19 19:53:11 matthschulzg kernel: apm_bios: set display standby: Unable to enter requested state" Any ideas? Matth

Compaq Contura 410 and DLinkk DFE-650TX
Hi all, I ran into trouble with my old Contura 410 and my new DFE-650TX ethernetcard. The card works fine in my worklaptop (Gateway 2500). It does not work in the old Contura.

configuration hardwareclock - timezone - localtime
Hi all, I'm sure this was handled before, but i couldn't find any useful stuff. Can somebody point me to a good description, how to set timezone and localtime, so i can leave the hardwareclock at CST/CDST and change the linux-systemtime between different timezones. How can i adjust the hardwareclock automaticly? So far i understand the docs for xntp3 and crony they adjust the systemtime only. Thanks Matth

I turned off the cache. It started remarkable slow, but better than nothing. Then I compiled as first thing a new kernel zImage, ran LILO, turned the cache back on - done. Matth

After it was necessary to do a new install from scratch i just installed base, apt and ppp and did all the other stuff per dselect-apt. Actually, i didn't touch my CDROM since about 4 weeks.

unexpected interrupt at standby
When i put my old Compaq Contura 410 into standby with
>apm -S
then i get following message:
>ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=1
Then i left the copmuter unattended and got the following:
>ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=2
apm: an event queue overflowed
hda: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset: success

Any ideas?
Thanks Matth
