Re: ACPI error AE_NOT_FOUND

2005-12-27 Thread Teddy Wong
Hi Tierry,

I have the same laptop and just managed to get the
battery status to work.
You can follow the instruction here
(http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?id=417) to
compile it. And my dsdt hex file after compile with
iasl
(http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?id=533).

I managed to compile it with the kernel version
2.6.15-rc6 from source.

If you want I can send you the custom kernel debian
package if you want.

Hope this helps you.

By the way I am using Sarge amd64.

Generally, the relevant modules are already included in the
kerlnel-image/linux-image deb...

errrm, what? AFAIK, it's compatible with earlier PPC chips like the 60x
series.

64/32 with DRI

2005-12-27 Thread Stephen Olander Waters
Hi,

I'm running linux-image-2.6.14-2-amd64-k8-smp on 32-bit 'sid' (haven't
made the time to go all-64 yet). I have an old Radeon 7000 and I'm using
the standard "radeon" driver. While DRI appears to initialize correctly
in the Xorg.log.0, glxinfo reports that direct rendering is off and
opening any GL app causes the machine to halt.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help!

Wow, Colin, I knew there was an ecosystem surrounding
emacs, but I am surprised at the sheer wealth of
emacs-related apps ;-)  Thanks for the additional info.

Yeah, some of the package names aren't very obvious - in these cases, 
doing an


apt-cache search [app name]

should show you which one you need to install.

Not something I can help you with, sorry.  I don't have an amd64
machine, so this should be handled by the build daemon(s).

According to the buildd logs[0] this package has been successfully
built.

Check for existence and contents of initrd.img corresponding to
your new kernel.

Re: DualCore Dual-Opteron Board - suggestion?

2005-12-27 Thread Gudjon I. Gudjonsson
Hi 
   I do have the same network card as you have. I had to download the 
bcm5700-source debian package and compile it with module-assistant. There was 
some version before the current one in unstable, 8.1.55-2 that did not work. 
I am using kernel version 2.6.12.

Hope it helps
