Hi,
there is a chapter in the PCMCIA HOWTO, which explains how
to handle cards without hardware address. Hope this helps.

Who has recently bought a laptop and was able to install LINUX?
Could you please tell me the exact type of your laptop + how you have solved
problems.
I am particularly interested in laptops of the higher class:
6-15 GB HD
64-128 MB RAM
USB, serial, parallel
floppy
DVD instead of CD
14" color
I've just bouhgt a Siemens Modile 360, it's not really a higher class
laptop, but the price was pretty attractive :
Celeron 300, 64Mo RAM, 4.5Go HD, 12"
PS/2 mouse : OK, but if you boot with it, the touch pad does
not work
Video : OK, SVGA driver, bu
I have a laptop(Toshiba Libretto 60) that goes into a suspend mode when
the lid is shut. Is there any way to disable this within Linux? I would
like to be able to use the sound and video output with the computer lid
shut without having to physically disable the switch.
Thanks,
Oren
Hi Maurizio,
ya, this did the trick. now it no longer flashed.
thank you !

Have a look in the bios options first. If you have a good bios, it will give
you a wide range of options for configuring the bios. I dont really know where
to start under linux, appart from changing the options during a kernel build.

Thanks for the help. Actually the BIOS does not have that option but
it can be set from DOS which I don't have installed(go figure). However,
I ran into this page while redoing the search I gave up on a few weeks
ago. This is a pretty neat hack for any Libretto users.

I also have this Maestro sound card (Dell Latitude CPx) and sound works very

the kernel myself and now whenever I adjust the volume when sound is playing the
machine totally hangs and I have to power off.

it came pre-loaded with RedHat but there's been no problem tossing Debian
