Display changed: LCD off/on" problem

[Emmanuel Guiton]

Hello,

Yes, I solved the problem.
It's linked to the kmilo software. Follow these instructions (that I 
found at http://wingware.com/support/asus_z63a_ubuntu_5.10, but you can 
find many other sources by googling) to fix it:


Having switched to KDE, I got an annoying flashing screen periodically 
that says "Display Changed LCD on/off". This appears to be a bug in 
kmilo, which is a daemon run by kded to support the special keys on the 
keyboard (browser launch, etc). While these keys worked under Gnome, 
they do not work under KDE so I disabled kmilo for now. This is done by 
editing /usr/share/services/kded/kmilod.desktop and changing it so the 
following lines are set to false:


X-KDE-Kded-autoload=false
X-KDE-Kded-load-on-demand=false


Cheers,
- Emmanuel

On laptop: "Display changed: LCD off/on" problem

[Emmanuel Guiton]

Hello,

A few days ago, using KPackage, I upgraded Quanta on my laptop and this 
lead to a more general upgrade from KDE 3.3 to KDE 3.4.
There was globally no trouble except that now, from time to time (i.e. 
once every few minutes) I have a message on the midlle of my screen 
saying "Display changed: LCD on". I don't really have time to see 
anything else, but I suspect there is a previous message, which 
disappears immediately, that says "Display changed: LCD off". Of course, 
I'm never changing the display. I looked in the syslog but I didn't find 
any useful information.


Has anyone already seen that?

- Emmanuel

Re: Double problem with KDM

[Emmanuel Guiton]

The keyboard problem does not come from the driver in Xorg. I checked, 
it was correct. I'm not using the nv driver but the nvidia driver that I 
installed with the installer from NVidia. Anyway, I don't have any 
trouble with my Xorg config once I get to KDE or Gnome. So I don't think 
the problem comes from there.


I had also already read the thread "can't connect to any desktop". 
However, commenting out the line about ssh-agent in Xsession.options did 
not change anything. From what I read, I understood that the problem 
occured for versions of openssl and libssl that are newer than 0.9.8-3. 
But I have only the openssl 0.9.7g-2 and libssl 0.9.7e-3 installed.


Any more suggestions?

- Emmanuel

Hi!

After I installed Debian, I tried to use kdm instead of gdm. I ran into
the 2 following problems
- When the kdm login screen appears, I do not have any keyboard input. I
cannot enter neither my login nor my password. If I try to restart the X
session, nothing changes. If I try console login, I can log in without
any problem. Then, I can start kdm as root and when the login window
appears I can normally enter my username and password.
- At this point appears the second problem: after validating my username
and password, the kdm window disappears... and appears again. I can
never get the desktop running.
On the other hand, such troubles do not happen at all with gdm.

Does anyone have already seen these symptoms? (Is it serious, doc?)

Thanks for any help,

Don't know if this is related; but I recently changed my 32-bit machine 
running Etch from XFree86 to Xorg and there was an error in the generated 
xorg.conf, an instance of 
Driver  "Keyboard"

that should have read
Driver  "keyboard"
This was keeping X from starting up altogether, and it cost me a night's sleep 
as I faffed around trying to get a working xorg.conf together.  OTOH, now I 
have done it, it rocks bells.


If it makes any difference, I have been using the open source "nv" graphics 
card drivers all along on both my 32 and 64 bit machines.

Re: Troubles installing Debian on an ASUS notebook

[Emmanuel Guiton]

Hi again!

Thanks! I got it running with the sarge-amd64-2.6.12-netinst.iso 
 
at http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/


Still, it doesn't tell why the other installs did not work. For more 
information, here are the answers to the few questions people asked:


The specifications of my notebook:
ASUS A6QK30-RWDL
Processor : AMD Turion 64 MT30 1,6 Ghz
Cache memory L2 : 1 MB
Chipset: SIS 756 + SIS 964L
512 MB DDR 333 memory
Screen : 15.4" WXGA Color Shine
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 Turbo Cache 256Mo

Yes, the i386 sarge netinstall works on it.

I've tried the "linux26" tip at boot prompt and the only change was 
"Could not find kernel image: linux26" instead of "Could not find kernel 
image: linux" ...


That's it folks!
Thanks to all of you.

- Emmanuel

it might be this sarge netinst you have tried, but maybe not. It worked
for me well a few days ago on my Acer Aspire 5024wlmi (turion64)

Hi!

For 2 days, I've been trying to install in vain Debian on my ASUS A6QK30
(AMD Turion 64 processor).
Is there anyone who has successfully done a 64 bit installation on that
kind of notebooks?

I tried these methods:
- installing from the sarge netinst CD: it kind of freezes right after
the country selection
- installing from the sarge CDs: same problem
- installing from the etch netinst CD: I got the following error:
ISOLINUX 2.04 2003-04-16  Copyright (C) 1994-2003 H. Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image: linux
boot: _

md5 checksums of the downloads were alright.

Does anyone have a clue on how should I proceed?

Bye,
- Emmanuel
