Here's mine (clone mode, as I only use it for presentations). Has

external screen config on iBook G4 & xorg 7.1.0

2007-01-10 Thread mike dentifrice
Hi there,

Would anyone be so kind as to share his/her xorg.conf enabling external
screen for an iBook G4 12" [1]? I need this to work for using a beamer real
soon - quite an emergency!

I had a working setup for a while, which I was using occasionally.
Unfortunately, it ceased to work after a series of xorg updates some
months ago, though I was never sure when it happened exactly, since I
didn't test or keep track of each update.

I'm also looking for pointers documenting external display configuration
in a clear manner, since I've never found a comprehensive guide for
understanding this crucial thing.

Cheers,

I'm fairly sure this is it, but I think it's only sort of a good idea in
general... For example, I haven't found a way yet to stop the bluetooth
from waking up the machine which is stupid, anyone scanning the area for
bluetooth devices will wake it up...

I use the debian kernel 2.6.18-3 here on a Pismo with Airport card
and scanning worked out of the box (iwlist scanning).

Also kismet worked with the orinoco driver. It instantly found my
Airport station but also detected a steadily increasing number of
phantom networks with invalid data (floating hardware address and no
information about the used channel). I think this are non-WLAN devices
using the 2.4GHz band and wrongly detected by
airport/orinoco-driver/kismet. Has anyone seen a similar phenomenon?

I suspect it's a change in the USB code to enable remote wakeup by USB
devices. It's a good idea in general but does have the side effect that
a lot of mice are stupid enough to trigger a wakeup when they are
moved...

Wakeup on mouse movement

2007-01-10 Thread Matthias Grimm

Hi,

I just upgraded to the debian kernel 2.6.18-3 (I used a self-configured
kernel before) and found an odd behaviour:

When the machines was suspended to RAM it woke up again after I
moved the mouse. In the past The machine woke only up after triggering
a key on the keyboard but never on mouse movement.

Is this a feature or a bug? How could I disable this "feature" in case
it is one?

I used the 2.6.18 kernel before with my own configuration and it never
woke up on mouse movement. 

 Best Regards
   Matthias
