Re: ACPI broken in 2.4.1

2001-02-04 Thread Benson Chow
I waited out the boot so I could login and experiment, but it was painfully slow. Compiling with just APM in and no ACPI, results in a correctly-running machine with rh7 gcc-2.96-69. I got lucky this time that with APM worked, else I'd be stuck with slowly fscking, since this last boot I had to

Datapoint I have a chaintech 7AIA KT133-based TB motherboard. I use a USB mouse so I can't verify #1. However it(2.4.0-release) autodetects all my memory and I don't see a big enough clock drift even with 100% cpu utilization (don't know about high disk utilization though) Are you sure you don

USB Keyboards for x86/uhci in 2.4- kernels?

2001-01-09 Thread Benson Chow
Anyone tried using these beasts on a x86? Anyway, what's happening: In BIOS my USB keyboard works really poorly - it almost seems scancodes get dropped left and right. Ok, so I don't mind too much, i'm sure BIOS has a very limited driver. After booting Microsoft's offerring, it would work fin
