Re: Test patch for sleep on Aluminium PowerBooks
Hi, My 15" PowerBook (5,2) (1.25Ghz) can't resume from sleep. I have unstable Debian with 2.6.9 + alubuttons-patch + albook-sleep-patch I use pbbuttonsd 6.3-1 (no pmud because you can´t install both) and cpudyn 1.01 I use XFS filesystems, and the last test with 2.6.9 + swsusp-patch make my XFS root filesystem inconsisten (good bless xfs_repair :) Right now I am using 2.6.9 WITHOUT swsusp support. If I put "echo disk > /sys/power/state" the system hibernate, but if I put "echo mem > /sys/power/state" nothing happens (I read that it is suppose to make the system sleep). If I press briefly the power buttons, then the systems apparently goes to sleep and the white led starts changing his intensity like in MacOS The problem is that I can't wake up the computer, no mater what I do (press any key, move the mouse, press the power button briefly, stand up on the power button) nothing works, the PB stays dead for about 2-3 minutes and then it reboots and boots up normally, like if I turned up. I am missing something? I have to configure something else? There is no special configuration in the default pbbuttonsd debian package for suspend-to-ram.

It works. The problem is solved when you don't apply swsusp patch.

Ben, I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but when I suspend to ram and resume, all the stuff works, but when I try to play any video (mplayer, vlc and xine) it shows like when you select an empty air channel in you TV, but in green :). I repeated this test, and I can play any video, until I use sleep to ram function... then I have to reboot to use it again. I suppose that something in the Ati 9600 is not setup properly in the sleep to ram process.

Re: TEST: Sleep patch #6
With patch #6 in some random situations, my PowerBook G4 (ATI 9600) doesn't goes to sleep. One situation is: - Turn PB - Work - Sleep - 14 hours of sleep - Turn back from sleep (perfect, no problem at all) - Work for 4 hours (mails, www, no USB, Bluetooth, etc) - Try to sleep and problem... When I try to make sleep my PB, nothing happens (in X), and I can't switch from X to console. Sorry, I can't help you more with this bug, I will keep trying to establish which are the events that trigger this bug.

USB drive mount problems (udev+2.6.9)
When I connect my 512Mb pen drive at my PowerBook G4 (15" PB5,2), the udev system creates automatically /dev/uba and /dev/uba1 When I mount /dev/uba1 (/dev/uba1 is a vfat filesystem) everything works great, I can read and write my pen drive. But when I tried to unmount, (if I wrote some data to the flash device) the light of the pen drive starts blinking very quickly for ever and I'm unable to unmount my pen drive. It appears to be a sync problem. If I power down my PB, in the pen drive I have the files transfered to the device but with 0 bytes size. It is not problem of my pen drive, because if I use mtools works great. Same problem with a compact flash. Any idea?

Other machine users, please test too as it may cause regressions (or improvements) as well. My 15" PowerBook (1.25Ghz, ATI 9600, PowerBook5.2) has the same problem with suspend to ram patch.

I can't reproduce the bug, it shows when he want :( can you try in console mode without X using "snooze -f" repeately, does it ever happen ? Ben, The problem triggers when you keep in sleep mode for 6 hours (I wlll try shorter periods). With "snooze -f" and console makes no difference.

[Powerbook] No init Found. Try passing init= option to kernel
Hi All, I have a new Powerbook 15" 1.25 Ghz (bye bye Sony R505) and my natural choice was Debian :) I managed to install Debian unstable with X, sound, etc etc... Everything is working -no Airport Extreme... :( - All of my partitions are in ext3 (more stable... well I am not pretty sure right now) All of my kernels have support for ext3 compiled. Well, I was making an apt-get upgrade when suddenly the system starts making weird things... (when I try to log in other terminal, the init process tell me that getty was respanwing to fast) So I reboot the machine, and right now I am unable to boot the system. I checked the root filesystem with Knoppix-MIB and is OK without any error, I can mount and read all the data is there. My fstab is correct I try passing to kernel init=/bin/bash and root=/dev/hda6 with no success All the data appears to be intact. I have 4 differents kernel Images (2.4.22-benh and 2.6.0-test11-benh) installed and all makes the same I suspected init corruption, so I copy the /sbin/init from the image of Knoppix and nothing happens Any clue, any idea? Has anyone an boot rescue ISO image? I was trying to make an chroot with Knoppix MIB and I get /bin/sh No such file Thanks in advance Federico

Hi, Well I can't make lmu work. I have kerenl 2.6.1-ben1 with i2c-dev support and /dev/i2c-0 with mayor and minor 89,0 When I execute as root lmu then I have this result: # ./lmu left sensor:0 right sensor: 0 So, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, right now it's working with ADAPTER_NUMBER = 4 I am playing with lmu.c so you can automatically adjust your keyboad backlight and lcd bright automatically depending in lights coniditions.

Re: Keyboard backlight support in the near future?
I've added the ability of changing the brightness of the lcd, so now automatically at lowers light conditions, you will get lower lcd brightness and higher keyboard backlight.

Re: Keyboard backlight support in the near future?
Hi, Well, this version uses /dev/pmu and framebuffer to change lcd brightness (the function was taken from pmud package) Please check if you have /dev/pmu defined (mayor=10, minor=154 char device) You can check with pmud-utils package, in this package you have fblevel utility, this is the base of the funtion used to change the lcd bright. If you make fblevel work from pmud-utils, then lmud will also work.

Well, now you have a new version af lmud with lcd brightness support at http://isadora.homelinux.net/lmud/lmud-0.02-fg-1.tar.gz Now fading is more gradual (like in MacOS X) and now lmud checks the light conditions every 40ms instead of 20ms (twice lighter to the system :) Well, enjoy El lun, 19-01-2004 a las 04:21, Andreas Jaggi escribió: > Am 19.01.2004 um 06:09 schrieb Federico Gamio: > > I've added the ability of changing the brightness of the lcd, so now > > automatically at lowers light conditions, you will get lower lcd > > brightness and higher keyboard backlight. > > > > You can see this version at: > > http://isadora.homelinux.net/lmud/lmud-0.02-fg.tar.gz > > > > It's works nicely in a 1.25Ghz 15" Alu Powerbook > > Nice feature.

How do you adjust the lcd brightness based on the amount of light? Well, PowerBooks with keyboard backlight, have 2 light sensors (one in each side, near the speakers), so you can sense the amount of light. With these information, you can adjust keyboard backlight intensity and LCD bright dinamically. For example, right now, I am in my bedroom with no lights, so the keyboard backlight is at maximun level and LCD bright is at level 3 :) > > I use something like this: > > if powerlevel high: > fblevel 15 > if powerlevel medium: > fblevel 10 > if powerlevel low: > fblevel 4 > > Adjust to taste.

Re: [PATCH] Latest patch to therm_adt7467
I have a question, in the following part of the patch code, you set the
limits, and you take care if you have 7460 or 7467.
My question is, is correct the last asignation (below write)?
I think you have to make an "if" (like a couples of lines before) to set
the correct values for 7467 or 7460, if not, you will set the values
from 7467.
I commentd out this line (I have an 7460 chipset) and everything works
great (fan starts at 60 and stops at 57).
I am missing something?
+ for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+ th->initial_limits[i] = read_reg(th, LIMIT_REG[i]);
+
+ if (therm_type == ADT7467) {
+ th->limits[i] = default_limits7467[i] - limit_decrease;
+ } else {
+ /* Set CPU limit higher on 7460 to avoid powerdowns */
+ th->limits[i] = default_limits7460[i] - limit_decrease;
+ }
+ write_reg(th, LIMIT_REG[i], th->limits[i]);
+
+ /* set our limits to normal */
+ th->limits[i] = default_limits7467[i] - limit_decrease;
^^^
+ }

I posted all the files you need at http://isadora.homelinux.net/debian/powerbook/ You need kernel 2.6.3 (you can find a .deb of my kernel, the 2.6.5 is under testing, so use 2.6.3 :) You need also to get my sources.list and you need to install the following packages: xbase-clients 4.3.99pre10-2 miscellaneous X clients xfonts-100dpi 4.3.99pre10-2 100 dpi fonts for X xfonts-75dpi 4.3.99pre10-2 75 dpi fonts for X xfonts-base4.3.99pre10-2 standard fonts for X xfonts-scalable 4.3.99pre10-2 scalable fonts for X xfree86-common 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure xfs4.3.99pre10-2 X font server xlibmesa-gl4.3.99pre10-2 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] xlibs 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System client libraries xlibs-data 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System client data xserver-common 4.3.99pre10-2 files and utilities common to all X servers xserver-xfree86 4.3.99pre10-2 the XFree86 X server xutils 4.3.99pre10-2 X Window System utility programs xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk The XFree86 X server [DRI trunk] Download my XF86Config-4 and enjoy... Another tip, in pbbuttonsd directory you have the latest pbbuttonsd-server version (CVS), so you will have keyboard backlight working. Enjoy you PB!
