Re: nvidia & suspend2
Thanks, though I'm fine with the nvidia drivers. My problem is that they do not integrate seamlessly with suspend2/hibernate, at least not without some code modifications. I'm trying to copy a method of removing AGP support from the kernel so that the nvidia module can be suspended but menuconfig won't let me unselect that option.

Laptop temperature
Hi, I've noticed the occasional mention of temperatures (usually checking to see if this is causing crashes) including the "Asus K8N, Cool'n'Quiet, and sensors.conf" thread. I have a Compaq Presario R3000 with an Athlon 3400+ which has power states 800Mhz, 1.8GHz & 2.2GHz. I've had it doing hard work all evening and the temperature (/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature) is 51*C. Is this dangerously high? I set the power level at 1.8GHz because full load at 2.2GHz can put the temperature near 70*C. The fans are not currently at full speed but they do speed up if I set power to 2.2GHz (and the temperature climbs). I have yet to have any problems (that weren't software) and my PC (Athlon 3400+) also runs around this temp (at full load 2.2GHz) Should I be worried?

Re: anybody got the working?

I am trying to get a few peripherals to work in the 64 bit envirnoment, but I am stuck with the internal video camera (reported as a usb 2.0 ALi Corp.), the internal modem (it is claimed by the snd_intel8x0m, but how can I understand what the heck of a serial device it appears to be?) and the internal wireless LAN (reported as a Broadcom 4306). At least for the latter, I heard it can be gotten to work with ndiswrapper, but where can I get the Windows 64 bit driver for it? I would also love to be able to suspend to disk, but I hear that the nvidia driver does not permit this, any workarounds? Please feel free to address me to appropriate web pages and/or mailing lists if I am posting in the wrong place... Thanks in advance, Giacomo This site http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html gives a list of working camera chips. Check /proc/bus/usb/devices and look for the Vendor and ProdID values. A google might reveal the chip and a driver you could use... Hugh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: nvidia + openGL + java
Problem solved: I read a response in another thread that nvidia 7174 does not work with kernels 2.6.13 so downloaded the 7676 version which works fine. Some other tests, including glxgears and the fox gl widget did give sigfaults on occasion in both 32 and 64 bit environments but they have, AFAICS, been solved. I got the nvidia sources from ~rdonald's site but I didn't understand how to use apt to get them. Can someone clarify his instructions. If I use exactly the line he gives, apt gives a parse error when it can't find a distribution. Hugh Waite wrote: > I am trying to get jogl, the openGL for java extension, working.

nvidia + openGL + java
I am trying to get jogl, the openGL for java extension, working. Since it requires a native file (jogl.so) which I can only find for x86, I am working in a 32 bit chroot. When I ran an example, it crashed giving a segfault in the libGL.so file. This was currently provided by nvidia-glx so I removed it and the program ran fine (without hardware acceleration I expect). I compiled my own nvidia-glx package (version 7174) using standard apt-get source --compile but the same error occurs I am guessing this is a bug in the nvidia libGL file but I have only experienced the error in 32-bit, so maybe this is the wrong place to post. Has anyone had success compiling/using jogl on amd64/know where I can get source for this so I can test in 64bit mode? Many thanks Hugh Here is the error I get when running: # # An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x5c35baba, pid=5634, tid=1558608816 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_05-b05 mixed mode, sharing) # Problematic frame: # C [libGL.so.1+0x2caba] # # An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid5634.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Aborted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ASRock K8Upgrade-760GX Onboard Sound
Hi, I have the ASRock K8Upgrade-760GX board which works fine, (although I don't use SATA). It did take me some time to get the sound working and that was because the Capture Monitor was enabled by default, muting the output. Uses module snd-intel8x0 and comes up as "C-Media Electronics CMI9761" My problem now is that I have no hardware volume control. I am using gnome-alsamixer or alsamixer. The PCM mute toggle works but all the sliders have no effect. I can use software volume in XMMS but it has to be <10% to be reasonable. Is it possible to get alsa to look in the right place for these mixer settings/devices? Thanks Hugh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Large libm library
Hello, I'm wondering, mostly from curiosity, why the maths library is so much larger in amd64 than the one from i386 or emul/ia32. amd64 550208 emul/ia32 134464 i386 134464 (another pc) I have an unstable debian-pure64 install with libc6 = 2.3.2.ds1-20 and ia32-libs = 0.7 Just as a test I did strip -o libm.strip libm-2.3.2.so but it is no smaller so I assume it is not debugging symbols. The reason I looked was because my compiled SETI/BOINC client was taking ~8 hours. I have now compiled on another pc and it links against /emul/ia32-linux/... and takes ~2 hours. It is only my guess/assumption that this larger library is slowing things down but if so, won't it affect anything else that uses it?
