Does your laptop have APM? If so, then you most likely have to hold the power
button for 4 seconds...no ideas on the other stuff, though...

Because this problem occurs with Gnome, but not with KDE, I would suggest
checking esd (does `killall esd` or `killall -KILL esd` stop the problem?) If
the problem _is_ with esd, you may be able to fix it by recompiling as somebody
else explained (should be in the archives for this month or last).
This might also be an IRQ problem...you'll want to check /proc/ioports and
/proc/iomem. If your box locks up when trying to read either of those files,
then you definitely have an IRQ problem...unfortunately...I don't know how to
fix them (Is IRQ Steering possible on a lappie?)
Also, could you give some more details about your setup? (kernel,
/proc/ioports, etc)

Quick-access buttons on Toshiba 2775XDVD?
Hi. I have a Toshiba 2775XDVD, and I've been able to get almost everything to work. However, I have a few questions still: 1) How do I get events from the shiny silver keys directly above the floppy? I have tried using xev, which doesn't register anything, hotkey(s), and one other program that I don't remember the name of. 2) How do I get the two small mouse buttons between the spacebar and the two long mouse buttons to work? 3) How do I get suspend and standby to work correctly? After each reboot, the first time that I try to use standby mode, the hard drive spins down, the screen shuts off for a second, and then the screen turns back on. Whenever I try to suspend, the laptop suspends correctly (*gasp*), but when I wake the box up (using the shiny silver button under the logo, between the "Intel Inside" and "Designed for..." labels, on the shiny _black_ thing :o) everything works correctly except for the display, which doesn't turn back on. I have verified that the system is back to normal by playing an mp3 through mpg123, but the display fails to emit any light. Then, when I do a soft reboot (three-finger-salute or `init 6` or `shutdown -r now` or `reboot`), the Toshiba logo and all text thereafter appears warped (the right side and bottom are cut off, and the remaining graphics are stretched to fit the screen). I am only able to obtain normal functionality again by turning the laptop off, then on again. --xsdg -- ___ / Error reading FAT record: \ \ Try the SKINNY one?

Re: apm with kernel 2.4.3
I have experienced the spewing sheets part before. What I believe is happening is that the printer receives the postscript commands instead of the (does Epson use ) PCL(?) commands. Because Linux/Unix traditionally only includes line feeds at the end of the line, the text quickly runs off the edge of the page. Not sure how to fix, though... sorry.

Does your laptop have APM? If so, then you most likely have to hold the power button
for 4 seconds...no ideas on the other stuff, though...

more spam?
Is it me, or is the amount of spam being received (on both -devel and -laptop) picking
up? If so, would this be normal (more spam during holidays), or would it signify that
someone is signing debian-{laptop,devel}@lists.debian.org up to receive spam?

Because this problem occurs with Gnome, but not with KDE, I would suggest checking esd
(does `killall esd` or `killall -KILL esd` stop the problem?) If the problem _is_
with esd, you may be able to fix it by recompiling as somebody else explained (should
be in the archives for this month or last).
This might also be an IRQ problem...you'll want to check /proc/ioports and
/proc/iomem. If your box locks up when trying to read either of those files, then you
definitely have an IRQ problem...unfortunately...I don't know how to fix them (Is IRQ
Steering possible on a lappie?)
Also, could you give some more details about your setup? (kernel, /proc/ioports, etc)

Quick-access buttons on Toshiba 2775XDVD?
Hi. I have a Toshiba 2775XDVD, and I've been able to get almost everything to work. However, I have a few questions still: 1) How do I get events from the shiny silver keys directly above the floppy? I have tried using xev, which doesn't register anything, hotkey(s), and one other program that I don't remember the name of. 2) How do I get the two small mouse buttons between the spacebar and the two long mouse buttons to work? 3) How do I get suspend and standby to work correctly? After each reboot, the first time that I try to use standby mode, the hard drive spins down, the screen shuts off for a second, and then the screen turns back on. Whenever I try to suspend, the laptop suspends correctly (*gasp*), but when I wake the box up (using the shiny silver button under the logo, between the "Intel Inside" and "Designed for..." labels, on the shiny _black_ thing :o) everything works correctly except for the display, which doesn't turn back on. I have verified that the system is back to normal by playing an mp3 through mpg123, but the display fails to emit any light. Then, when I do a soft reboot (three-finger-salute or `init 6` or `shutdown -r now` or `reboot`), the Toshiba logo and all text thereafter appears warped (the right side and bottom are cut off, and the remaining graphics are stretched to fit the screen). I am only able to obtain normal functionality again by turning the laptop off, then on again. --xsdg -- ___ / Error reading FAT record: \ \ Try the SKINNY one?

The real name of what I'm talking about is "PCI device name database", or the
"CONFIG_PCI_NAMES" option. It is actually in the fourth menu item from the top

Does the screen flicker off and on, or pause for a little? On my old Toshiba (2775XDVD), the whole computer paused for a little; that precipitated the death of the hard drive. If it's relatively new, though, that shouldn't be a problem (the drive on my 2775 was 3+ years old). ::snip?

Re: Debian Users...
xfce4 (and, consequently, xfwm4) I like xfwm4 because it allows me to do everything with the keyboard (which is one of the reasons I really liked ion), but it doesn't force me to, like ion does. Also, it also gives me the eye-candy lovin' that I crave (which was another drawback of ion). Additionally, I can have as many workspaces as I want (I have 11 full atm :o), and I can create them on the fly with a key-combo; that means I can have the majority of my applications maximized. my list of past window managers, in no specific order relatively recently: oroborus + keylaunch(one ancestor of xfwm4) I like oroborus for basically the same reasons that I like xfwm4 (they are pretty much the same WM wrt interacting with the user) ion I like ion because it allows me to do everything without using the mouse; I can organize my windows efficiently and in a non-overlapping manner. Also, it lets me name my workspaces so I can access them all quickly. metacity(another ancestor of xfwm4) I like metacity because of its appearance and it's user interaction. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to control everything quite as easily as oroborus.

I stopped using waimea because the main developer went on vacation and didn't come back within a year. I was planning on installing kahakai, but I installed oroborus first (I had used oroborus on and off during the past months/years) long time ago: windowmaker enlightenment afterstep I don't run GNOME or KDE because of their high memory and disk-space consumption.

Re: CPU fan, CPU speed control
As others have said, you need to get cpufreq working. Personally, I'd suggest installing and using 2.6.0-testN (test9 works well on my laptop). test9 (as well as some others; I forget when it was merged) has cpufreq in the source tree, so all you need to do is enable it and the relevant options. If you need help, you can stop by irc.oftc.net/#kernelnewbies. Secondly, are you sure you have the correct cpuinfo? I haven't seen any dual-proc laptops before.

This activates Software Suspend. If you would like to use suspend-to-disk, you need to activate it via sysfs. See Documentation/power/pmdisk.txt (I think).

Everything is working now except for the SD slot; the Nvidia GeForce 4 Go (?) is supported by both the xfree86 nv driver and the proprietary nvidia driver.

Also, you can try turning on debug (needs to be compiled in, and can be activated through /proc/swsusp/) For me (2.6.1-rc1 with rc3I), the progress bar progresses at a relatively constant rate; it takes my box about 15-25 seconds (512 megs of mem, 768 megs of swap space, 1400MHz proc) You may want to check the mailing list archives for usage documentation (subject "Test patch 2L.", Thu, 04 Dec 2003 18:39:13 +1300).

Sending multiple logs inline would potentially make it very difficult to find where one log ends and the next begins. Also, it would forestall someone from downloading the logs easily for analysis or whatever else. Finally, doing so would make the logs susceptible to 80-char wrapping or any other mail body translations that I may not be aware of. ::snip?
