halting thinkpad with lid closed.

2001-12-03 Thread Tuukka Toivonen
If I use "halt" to turn off my Thinkpad 560X, and the lid is open, it works just fine and automatically turns off the power via APM. However, if the lid is closed and I try to turn it off (via serial terminal), it doesn't cut off the power but instead beeps for a few times and when I open the lid

2001-12-03 Thread Simon Alder
I'd like to locally mirror woody on my laptop. But I'm not quite sure whether I got enough diskspace left. Does anyone know, how much disk space a complete i386 architecture of woody needs? And by the way: Has anyone experience with Joey Hess 'debmirror' script. Does it work? Wich version? Tanks,

IBM ThinkPad A30

2001-12-03 Thread Martin Hermanowski
Hi! I am going to buy a notebook, and from what I think the IBM ThinkPad A30 would be a nice one. I got some questions: Does anybody know wether the screen resolution of 1400x1050 with the ATI Mobility Radeon does work well under X? It seems quite uncommon. The ethernet is from Intel, isn't it?
