udev and cdrom on 2.6.13
Dear List, this might seem like warming up an old topic, but i spent half a day now and need some advice: upgraded to 2.6.13 from kernel.org, discovered that devsd is no more, installed udev, and don't get my cdrom drive to appear in /dev/ This is on a pismo, while everything was fine with a 2.6.11 and devfsd. I learned from various posts that udev might have a bug that won't let it create cdrom drives. As there is a way to hardcode it in the /etc/udev/cdsymlinks.conf or cd-aliases.rules file, i did not succeed so far. One thing is how do i find out on which bus/address my drive is? Thanks for any help!

Re: udev and cdrom on 2.6.13
Hi, and thanks for the reply! I have the ide-cd module compiled into the kernel. So it should be always there. Hmmmn, strange thing...

It seems that the cdrom will not be available until one loads the ide-cd module. But this module should be loaded by udev once the cdrom is detected. A strange circular problem. Anyway I worked around this problem adding the ide-cd module to the list of modules that are loaded automatically at startup (/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 in Gentoo). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Pismo 2nd monitor support?
Hi! I have a working external monitor on my Pismo, but since you mention it, did the dualhead ever work?

If you don't do this, all you're going to see on your pismo's external crt will be some sort of black-on-white diagnotic output similar to these you see on Sun machines ;] You need to find a file in your kernel source directory: (assuming you have kernel source in /usr/src/linux) /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/syslib/prom_init.h you then have to locate this line: } for (j=0; jthis is a small change related to initiating all the accessible screens, and since a Pismo has 2 screens max (lcd + crt) it works ok, and solved the problem for me.

Re: Xorg and DRI on Pismo
Hi all! Thanks very much for your help with this issue. As suggested by Micel Daenzer, switching to a color depth of 16 helped, DRI is enabled, my opengl apps running fine again. So there must be something (i guess inside xorg) that makes it want more memory as Ben already expected.

Re: HOWTO: m3mirror & recent 2.6 kernels
Hi Julien, List,
thanks for the quick and useful reply.
Figures that i should try with a recent 2.6.16, and yes, i have the
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c file.
Now since i am not so much a programmer, i am unsure where exactly to
add the "break;" statement:
So i go to the declaration of (line 1541):
static void __init prom_check_displays(void)
some lines down there starts a "for" loop (line 1569):
for (node = 0; prom_next_node(&node); ) {
i see the end at (line 1613):
}
so i guess that should look like:
break;
}
right?
sorry for this confusing way to ask, but i am quite desperate to get
m3mirror to work.
Thanks again!
regards,
Peter

No, arch/ppc is deprecated for most modern, non-embedded PPC machines
(and for some/most of embedded ones too).
add a break; statement at the very end of the for() loop.
So this snippet:
for (i = 0; i < prom_num_displays; ++i)
prom_display_paths[i] = PTRUNRELOC(prom_display_paths[i]);
would become:
for (i = 0; i < prom_num_displays; ++i)
prom_display_paths[i] =
PTRUNRELOC(prom_display_paths[i])break;
right?
Absolutely not :) This looks like it is the old code from arch/ppc,
right ?
If you don't have arch/powerpc, then replace prom_num_displays by 1 in
the above.
This is on a debian 2.6.14 kernel, sources from kernel.org.
Never built this version of the kernel, I waited a bit for the dust to
settle around the ppc -> powerpc move :)

But there is another problem that occurred with my new kernel: At startup, the system can't "access the hardware clock by any known method" resulting in a date of Jan 1904, which makes my Xserver refuse to start. I haven't found any solution yet... The startup message also suggest that i use the "--debug" method to find out which ways it tries to access the hardware clock, but giving a "linux --debug" command at the yaboot promt, i see no change (this is perhaps an alltogether wrong way of using kernel bootup arguments?) with the new kernel, i was just excluding some unneeded alsa and joystick modules, no other changes were made. Well i'm pretty stuck at this point, and having to set the date&time manually at every startup is not an option either. My logs in /var/log don't say anything about that issue (or i haven't found them...) Does anyone know sth i could try? Thank you all! Peter
hwclock can't access /dev/rtc!
Dear List! after recompiling my working 2.6.8 kernel on my pismo i get: pismo# hwclock Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. with the new kernel AND the old one. So i have to set the time/date manually every startup. Could this be bc of some devfs issue (which i am running)? After booting the new kernel for the first time, the date/time was correct, but as i was trying to put the computer into sleep mode, it crashed, better to say, it shut down immediately. I need help here, this is Debian Testing with 2.6.8. regards, Peter Plessas
Re: hwclock can't access /dev/rtc: solved
Solved! One more happy user today! Well, after a boot into OSX and back to debian the time is correct now! Thanks! Peter
libdv2-dev? battery monitor?
Dear List, i am searching for libdv2-dev via apt, but only have libdv4 available. Does anyone know the appropriate apt sources? There is a small panel applet in kde which displays the battery status, but only root in its own kde session can run it. I try to enable it via the kontrol center, but no chance. then changing the permissions of /dev/pmu didn't help either. If anyone has a hint i'd be glad to know! regards, Peter P.
how to power off an airport card
Dear List! Happy XMAS! I wonder how i can completely power off my airport card (G3 pismo, builtin 'classic' airport card) to save battery power. is: ~$: iwconfig eth1 power off enough? cheers, Peter

Not quite, you need to remove the aiport module too. Then the card is powered off. Johannes
umlauts once again :)
Hi! i know this has been dealt with before, but i didn't find any real answers in the list's archive: I have an US keyboard, how can i type umlauts such as: "ü ö ä"? (except for using kde's kcharselect applet (which means clicking on the desired letter and pasting it to where it's needed?) thanks again!
liblame?
Hi List! Happy NewYear! i am searching for liblame via apt and can't get any satisfactory package. i am trying to compile a piece of software which complains at the ./configure stage: checking for InitMP3 in -lmp3lame... no and all i get via apt-search lame is: liblame0 which is installed, but i don't get any -dev packages. does anyone know a hint or a sources.list entry for me? thanks! Peter

Re: Usb harddisk trouble...
Hi Martin, List, Thanks for the suggestions, sadly that is mostly stuff i already tried... CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION is on. > Try if any of these work: > mount -v -t vfat /dev/sda1 /fw/ timeout > mount -v -t fat /dev/sda1 /fw/ does not exist, it would be "-t msdos" > mount -v /dev/sda1 /fw/ tries to auto the filesystem, tries htfs first, then gives error of course... If that does not work, run fdisk /dev/sda and see if that works okay. fdisk and cfdisk show the same timeout and behavior as the mount command. Strange thing is, that my 64MB memory stick mounts without a problem... nice difference to the HD at mount is in /var/log/messages: HD: Jun 13 16:20:03 gonzo kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi7 STICK: Jun 13 16:23:06 gonzo kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi8 ^ Hmmmn Thanks for the help!!

wlan sniffer under ppc
Hi List, just as i come across more and more information, that wlan sniffing on powerpc with old airport cards seems really hard to do (seems like one has to patch the card drivers), i wonder if anyone had success in doing it any way? regards, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

2nd monitor output
Dear List, i just joined the list, and i must say that i started using deb-powerpc 1/2year ago. By now it became my fav OS on my G3 pismo powerbook. Until now i was using debian on i386. i have to give a talk on my favorite programming language (pure-data) in november, and i should have my second monitor (vga) output working by that time. i fond some resources on the net, but i am still not sure how to accomplish that task. 1.) do i have to use a ben herrenschmidt kernel to get it working? 2.) how do i have to change my XF86Config? 3.) do i need any additional modules? i'd be so glad to get any advice, this is the last item on my debian-ppc 'wishlist' that i want to get running. thanks, have fun! Peter Plessas
Re: 2nd monitor output
Dear List, i made some progress in the externl VGA-out problem, but one thing remains unclear: ok, i have an ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) and using the m3mirror tool i can get an external vga monitor to display the open firmware startup message: ... ok copying OF device tree...done Calling quiesce ... returning 0x140 from prom_init Then i i tried to pass the kernel boot arguments: video=aty128fb::crt:1.lcd:1 and got on LCD: flickering screen on external CRT: still only OF boot msg. LCD and CRT are both at 1024x768 Dunno if i got this right: to mirror an X screen i need to change my XConfig file, right? I don't really need a console on the external CRT. thanks for the help! Peter P.
Re: 2nd monitor output
Hi Jens Schmalzing wrote: That said, I am also using a Pismo, and mirroring works perfectly for me without any additional kernel command line options - the kernel automatically picks the aty128fb driver, and the aty128fb driver picks the correct video mode for the LCD, which also works on the CRT. I am having this problem with a standard debian 2.6.8. kernel and compiled-into-the-kernel aty128fb module. What kernel do you use? And did your XF86Config need any changes? thanks, Peter
