Tibook G4 kernel compile fails
I've been unsuccessfully trying to compile a kernel on my first generation tibook since I received it nearly a year ago. After playing around with lots of yes/no/module choices, I figured I'd try the stock config supplied with the kernel. Low and behold, it compiled just fine. The system is a first generation tibook with woody (& also an semi-updated yd-2.2 install) with the 2.4.19 source. After playing for a while today & several dozen failed kernel compiles later, I think I have it narrowed down to the /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) option. When I don't include it, the make-kpkg lights right up. When I include it as either a module or statically built into the kernel, my compile fails with lots of agpgar_be.c messages. The initial message is along the lines of: agpgart_bc.c:84: #error "Please define flush_cache." agpgart_be.c: In function `agp_generic_agp_enable': agpgart_be.c::400: warning: unused variable `cap_id' and so on with a bunch more warns. I haven't found any info on this so far. I can post more error messages if necessary. Or appropriate sections from the kernel config. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Mark >--))> >--))> Mark T.

I was under the impression the benh kernels were the bleeding edge kernels kernels & that I could survive on a custom 2.4.19 kernel. I don't see much info on ppckernel.org - is it possible to get a custom non-benh 2.4.x kernel to build? I'm slowly dl-ing the benh source right now, but at this rate it may take a few weeks... Are there any mirrors to ppckernel.org or other places to get it from? How about patches to the standard kernel source? I don't see Ben under the people section of kernel.org... Thanks ahead of time, -Mark

Regardless, anyone have a rsync url for the benh tree? Maybe even the appropriate flags if you're feeling especially generous? Since I'm going to try kpkg with the benh tree when it finishes, any heads ups before I start tommorrow morning or later tonight?
Disabling Builting Speakers On TiBook
Is there a way to disable the built-in speakers on my TiBook? - I only want to hear stuff from the line out.

When I use mpg123 or similar apps with a plugged in line-out, the built in speakers don't play. When I use esd (enlightenment sound daemon) though, both the line-out and the built in speakers play.

Re: Disabling Builting Speakers On TiBook
I'm using the dmasound_pmac module - which OSS module should I try for the tibook? PS. I'm rather new to make-kpkg & have been runnig it as "make-kpkg buildpackage" - I see make-kpkg modules from make-kpkg --targets, but no make-kpgk modules_install - is there a way to do this without recompiling the whole kernel?

Re: Re: Disabling Builting Speakers On TiBook
Eeee!!! My ears Need to make it stop!!! aumix installed just fine & works pretty well. I was under the impression the settings weren't persistent from Matt's mail, so I installed setmixer as he suggested. The second I apt-got it, a high pitched sound went off from the laptop on both the speakers & line out. dpkg -r setmixer didn't seem to make that disappear & now I think I am stuck with my built in micrphone on. (Didn't even know this thing had one... where's it live?) How can I turn this off so it doesn't drive me to killing someone?

Re: Re: Disabling Builting Speakers On TiBook
Maybe it was a combination of the mic & the line (what's the line anyways?) setmixer -V mic 0 setmixer -V line 0 Seem to have taken care of it. Thanks. On Fri, 27 Sep 2002, Mark T.

Right clicking & pasting in X
I've been running woody with a custom built benh kernel for a couple weeks now on my tibook, but never haven't been bothered by not being able to figure but how to right click, or highlight & paste text (unix style) yet. Well tonight it finally bothered me enough to set about fixing it. After some digging in the archives & from sysctl -a, I see my button3 and button2 are (probably stock) 100 & 97, respectively. mouse_button_emulation looks like it is set to no by default, but that's easy enough to fix... After banging on keys & key combos for a while in showkey, I found function-cntrl & function-option to be my second & third buttons (not real obvious, but I like...) Problem is, hitting function-[cntrl|option] on a hyperlink or on my desktop in E don't seem to do anything. Where am I going wrong? echoing 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_did/mouse_button_emulation lets me past highlighted text with function-cntrl-option, but still no right clicking...

New TiBook Install Problems
Nearly two years ago now, I'd installed debian-ppc on a first generation tibook & ran that happily until this past winter, when I accidently dropped it and snapped the hinges holding the screen to the base. It still worked, but just had to be held up by a wall. But that's another story... The deparment here must have felt some pity on me, for that was also the day I tore my LCL & ACL in my left knee. Eventually, they picked up a new gigahertz tibook for me & that is what I have now. I've really tried to give OS X a fair chance, but I just can't take it any more. I have OpenBSD on the machine, but it's just not the same as good ole' debian. So I went to use one of the mini net install isos today to load debian onto it, but I haven't gotten very far. On boot off the cd, I get the following error message before the "Welcome to yaboot" line: cd:2,/install/powermac/boot.msg: Unknown or corrupt filesystem If I boot with the install24 or install24-safe kernels, I get the same error and then return to the boot prompt. If I boot with the install kernel, it starts to take, flashes a mostly white screen & then dies. If I boot with "install video=ofonly", it starts to take, and stops on a mostly white screen with the following text: ... ok opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,Xia_B... ok copying OF device tree... done Calling quiesece... booting... _ I haven't seen anything in the archives about openbsd munging up my filesystem, but I suspect this is the cause. I don't have my openbsd cds with me at the moment, so I can't think of a way to dump my parition table to include in the message. I'd like to not have to wipe the hd & be able to keep openbsd.

[no subject]
I recently partitioned up my first generation ti-book for OS9,X,yellow dog, & woody. I'm not sure how to properly set up the bootstrap(s) & yaboot.conf(s) to boot both of the distros. I currently have one bootstrap partition (installed with yellow dog) that lists the yellow dog partition, OS9, & OS X as bootable options. I can get it to boot to my debian partition by using a kernel from the yellow-dog partition, and passing it the "root=/dev/hdaX" arg. However, this just doesn't sound like the right way to do it. If I remove the yellow dog kernel (rm -rf /my/kernel - oops), then I can't boot to the debian partition. I tried installing a second bootstrap partition & making the first point to that, but I've had no such luck so far. Any ideas on the proper way to do this? >--))> >--))> Mark T.

X & No keyboard input with new kernels
I recently did a woody net install on my first generation tibook (booting the installer from OF...). I never had luck too much luck with the X in debian, but it worked fine for me in yellow-dog 2.1 & 2.2. But since I would much rather run woody than yd, I started playing with it last night, and was able to get a little further into it. I can get some sort of X to start with the fbdev driver, but only 8 bit color. 15 & 16 croak on me. I noticed that the yellow dog conf was using the ati driver, but I can't get any color depth to work with X in debian. So I figured maybe my kernel was missing something. i386 kernel compiling doesn't bother me in the least, but I'm not too comfortable with ppc hardware, so I grabbed a Ben H. kernel from ppckernel. I also copied the 2.4.18xxx kernel & modules from the yd side over & set both up. However, when I booted either of them, I had no keyboard input. (I have no kernel parameters for either through append in yaboot.conf...) In the meantime, I'm giving a shot at the kernel compile myself. Any suggestions for X or something else I could be doing wrong kernel-wise? >--))> >--))> Mark T.
