I'm having a few problems installing Debian on an older Compaq Presario 1020 P120 with 48MB RAM. (Yes I just read the thread on Compaqs - I agree that after I get everything working it'll probably be great)
1) The worst one is that after apm -s, apm -S, or alt-F3 the system acts all weird after waking up again. The clock slows down to about half-speed and in X11 (icewm or blackbox) the screen keeps on blanking, until I reboot. -Doesn't matter whether I suspend in console or X mode. -Console mode seems to work find after suspend, although I haven't checked if the clock slows down there too. -stopping and starter x server doesn't help. I'm using a custom kernel with apm loaded as a module but all the other APM options off. My first custom kernel had most of them on but I recompiled with them off to try and solve the problem. Should I give up and go to a linux software-suspend? 2) How can I make it stop beeping every time I hit tab to auto-complete when there is more than one possibility, and when I hit backspace at the beginning of a line? Other than turning the volume all the way down. Happens in console and X. esound daemon is now uninstalled. 3) When I open up an xterm from the icewm toolbar, it doesn't read my .bashrc file. I have to type source .bashrc to get it to read it. The command the toolbar runs has the -ls option in it, which should be saying it's a login shell no? (OK, not Compaq's fault!) Other than that, and the modem which pppconfig can't find and I suspect may be a Winmodem (but it doesn't say in the owner's manual!), and the extra multimedia keys which xev doesn't think exist, it's running great. Emacs and Gnumeric run quite quickly. Thanks for any help, -Levi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
