ibook2.2's thermal control dilemma

However i2c-keywest does not support lm-sensors, a little patch is needed: --- i2c-keywest.c.orig 2004-07-24 22:39:04.0 +0200 +++ i2c-keywest.c 2004-08-17 21:03:23.0 +0200 @@ -618,6 +618,8 @@ chan->iface = iface; chan->chan_no = i; chan->adapter.id = I2C_ALGO_SMBUS; + if (i==1) + chan->adapter.class = I2C_CLASS_HWMON; chan->adapter.algo = &keywest_algorithm; chan->adapter.algo_data = NULL; chan->adapter.client_register = NULL; Ben does not like this patch. He also has explained why but i didn't understood (the problem is my little tech skill :) ). So, what i have to do? - Patch every kernel with unsupported cedric's patch? - Patch every kernel with unwelcome i2c-keywest patch? - Live without thermal control? The third way could be dangerous also for my not-so-hot machine?

user mode linux on ppc32
Hi all, some days ago lynuxworks.com guys made an announcement about their port of uml on ppc32; after that Jeff Dike has received this work, you can read his article on usermodelinux.org (there's also a patch for uml on ppc64). As you can see in Jeff's article the code he has received is a 28MB tarball, i've downloaded it and tried to compile it "as is" without success. According to Jeff i've started to "diff" the whole code; i've sent him a patch, you can find it there: http://www.artha.org/shammash/ppc/uml-2.6.0-test9_x86_ppc.diff Since there was an amount of history files (file.c~), .orig, .patched, strange symlinks outside the source tree, great cuts of non i386/ppc code and also looping links, i hope to have understood correctly their work (if someone wants to check, i appreciate that) Now, next step is splitting up the uml code from lynxos code (their RTOS) and make it compiling somehow. If you are interested in coding/testing it you can ask Jeff. I think that he'll need an account on a ppc machine; perhaps Ben can send him his new macmini :) luca -- Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers. -- Leonard Brandwein Linux Registered User # 286841 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

installing debian on mol
hi, does anyone has installed debian on mol ? I've tried with Branden's instructions (installing debian without using any physical media) and also with the iso of woody-powerpc (not burned). In the first case i've added these pseudofiles: pseudofile:"yaboot" /home/shammash/mol/firstboot/yaboot pseudofile:"yaboot.conf" /home/shammash/mol/firstboot/yaboot.conf pseudofile:"vmlinux" /home/shammash/mol/firstboot/linux.bin pseudofile:"root.bin" /home/shammash/mol/firstboot/root.bin But i cannot start the kernel (yaboot says "not a valid elf image"). In the second case i've added the iso as blkdev in "/etc/mol/molrc.linux" but mol doesn't boot from. Hints ? Luca -- BOFH excuse #372: Forced to support NT servers; sysadmins quit.

cracks on xmms
hi, i've the latest xmms from unstable running on ibook 2.2 . Sound is configured with alsa and oss-emulation. When i play an mp3/ogg/wav with xmms i ear some "cracks". Cracks are more frequent with alsa plugin than with oss plugin. Tuning a few plugin options reduce the cracks, but the don't disappear. Hints?

IIRC hwclock uses rtc, while clock uses adb. Maybe this problem can also be solved patching hwclock making it adb-compatible or creating a kind of rtc-emulator in kernel space, but i don't know if this second way is possible.

ibook 2.2 doesn't use whole battery
hi all, i've a problem with the battery of my ibook 2.2 : In battery mode every time the charge percentage reaches 35-38 % the level falls to 0% (and pbbuttonsd suspend the machine). I've seen the same behaviour in the battery leds (they pass from 2 leds to 1 when you check). Do you think it's an hardware problem (bad battery) or a configuration error?

ibook2.2's thermal control dilemma
hi guys, i own an ibook2.2 witch has adm1030 thermal control chip. i've used for a while the kernel module written by cedric pradalier, but now he suggest to use lm-sensors. However i2c-keywest does not support lm-sensors, a little patch is needed: --- i2c-keywest.c.orig 2004-07-24 22:39:04.0 +0200 +++ i2c-keywest.c 2004-08-17 21:03:23.0 +0200 @@ -618,6 +618,8 @@ chan->iface = iface; chan->chan_no = i; chan->adapter.id = I2C_ALGO_SMBUS; + if (i==1) + chan->adapter.class = I2C_CLASS_HWMON; chan->adapter.algo = &keywest_algorithm; chan->adapter.algo_data = NULL; chan->adapter.client_register = NULL; Ben does not like this patch. He also has explained why but i didn't understood (the problem is my little tech skill :) ). So, what i have to do? - Patch every kernel with unsupported cedric's patch? - Patch every kernel with unwelcome i2c-keywest patch? - Live without thermal control? The third way could be dangerous also for my not-so-hot machine? TIA Luca -- Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers. -- Leonard Brandwein Linux Registered User # 286841
[patch] adbmouse && synaptics
Hi, i've written a little patch to have synaptics xfree/xorg driver running with adb touchpads. It's working on my ibook2.2, please let me know if it work also for you. The patch is for 2.6.12-rc4, but should apply to any recent kernel. http://www.artha.org/shammash/ppc/adb_syn/adb_synaptics_0.1.diff You have to set CONFIG_ADB_TRACKPAD_ABSOLUTE=y and then recompile; then pick latest synaptics xfree/xorg driver (now it's 0.14.3) build and install it. Before reboot be sure to set dev_ADB = "/dev/null" in /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf. Here you can find an example of configuration for X, i suppose that you'll have to play a lot with synclient to fine-tune touchpad options. There are two mouses so you can still use emumousebuttons with keyboard. http://www.artha.org/shammash/ppc/adb_syn/xorg_mouse.conf TIA Luca -- Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers. -- Leonard Brandwein http://shammash.homelinux.org/ - http://www.artha.org/shammash/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, i've written this patch to be able to control easily mouse speed/acceleration and also to have the wheel on the right side of the pad. If you want a list of features that synaptics drivers cat provide go here: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/ .

I think that this behaviour is for dev_ADB = /dev/null in pbbuttons' configuration.

pbbuttonsd, synaptics and sleep on lid close
Hi,
below you can find a little patch for pbbuttonsd that partially solve
the incompatibility with mouses (in absolute mode)
managed by synaptics x module.
With this patch you don't need anymore to change "/dev/adb" in
"/dev/null" in pbbuttonsd.conf
Now i'll try to know why mouse movements are ignored by pbbuttonsd:
sometimes you have to press a key on the keyboard or it performs the
timer action.

(What is the reason for not resetting the timer on them?) This is not so simple: when synaptics x driver starts it grabs the event device using EVIOCGRAB. In this way data from input device don't leak to /dev/input/mice and, as a side effect, no one else can read events from event device. If you are using synaptics X driver you can see this by simply "cat" your mouse evdev with X turned on and then off: you'll see garbage in the latter case, but not in the former. luca -- Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers. -- Leonard Brandwein http://shammash.homelinux.org/ - http://www.artha.org/shammash/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
