O Wise Ones,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to turn off the LCD screen, which is
more than blanking it. I would like to be able to add some sort of an
option that will turn off the backlight completely when the laptop has not
been used for a certain period of time. Currently, my laptop scree
On a somewhat related note, after reading this thread (in which the tpctl
package was mentioned), I decided to recompile my kernel yesterday, including
the tpctl-source package. So, I did so with kernel-package, along with the
kernel-source, pcmcia-source, and alsa-source. (I have a TP390X).

Really? I guess I'm not that up to date with terminology here.
Another gripe about the TP 570, btw: I didn't get the Linux
framebuffer code to work on its Neomagic chip. X, in a recent version
of XFree86, works fine, though. Mostly, I run SVGATextMode, however,
which works fine.

Just to confirm this approach, I have done this with Netscape 3.04 and
WordPerfect 8 (I think.. it's the download version from a while ago)
and haven't had any problems, so I would expect this

Dear all,
During an upgrade, somehow I lost the /dev/gpmctl and the mouse no longer
function
in mc. I'd grateful to any pointer on how to restore it.
Also where can I find the documentation "Linux Allocated Devices"? I guess there
may
be some relevant information.
