It could be a problem with DRI and r300.. There are some fixes going in real soon that might help. I have my attention drawn towards bug #369167, and I have the option set; I will disable it and see if it happens again. -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

pbbuttons - issues with lidclose->display off options (backlight remains off)
Hello, I am not sure if the reason behind this problem is pbbuttonsd, although I am fairly sure, I want to have a confirmation (this happens from time to time on my laptop). I have configured pbuttonsd to just turn off the display when on AC and the lid is closed. I found that, sometimes, when opening the lid again, the backlight will not be turned back on (I can see the locking screen of KDE); if I try o swith to a text console, the backlight is turned back on for a split second, I can see the display properly, then is back to off. Switching back and forth between the X console and a text console does not fix the issue, but the light-on-for-a-split-second thing is present. Also I have found that I can work arund the issue if I put the laptop to sleep and wake it up. (But even this work around doesn't always work for me since I am experincing lock-ups before sleep - nobody has an idea why). Does anybody else has this issues? Can someone confirm this? How can I fix it?

The problems are there, it seems that somehow I managed to trick myself into thinking this was stable. The problems definetly did NOT disappear.

[OT] Airport Extreeme - should I buy one?
Hello, Next week I will be in Spain and was thinking, since the Apple distribuitors in Romania have some outrageous prices, I could buy an Airport Extreeme card. I started reading some reviews and saw that some people are complaining that the quality of the card is lousy (not being able to see all APs, lousy signal and similar stuff). What do people which own such cards advice? Do they work well (under Linux, of course)? Anyone seen under Linux the behaviour some acuse, or is it a OSX problem? -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It should witch to console mode before doing anything though. If it's not doing so, it could be that X is the one dying on the console switch... Can you test if: - console switches between X and console are reliable How do I test this? In normal conditions, switching consoles is not a problem, or I haven't observed anything. I was able to reproduce the lock yesteday by booting, putting the laptop imediately to sleep, working/browsing/chatting in X, then (suspecting the locking will appear) closed all apps, tryied to put the laptop to sleep (short pressing the power button) and the X session blocked. I couldn't swicth to any other console or do anything at that point. Does the new kernel needs udev >=0.097-1? I was reluctant to upgrade to it and stayed at 0.094-? (previous Sid package) because bluez-bcm203x depends on hotplug, which was provided by the old version, but not by the new one. - sleep from console mode (no X) is reliable I will try that now, after sending this mail (although edited in X, I will switch to a console and try to put the laptop to sleep from there).

You should have a look into you PowerBook documentation. The needed RAM specification should be found there. I got my powerbook from the original buyer and he didn't gave me the documentation (he had misplaced it), the only thing I got was MacOSX installation DVD and the iLife DVD. I found the following spec at Apple.com: The RAM expansion modules used in the 15-inch PowerBook G4 are standard 200-pin PC2700 DDR333 RAM SO-DIMMs, as defined in the JEDEC specifications. The mechanical characteristics of the RAM expansion DDR SO-DIMM are given in the JEDEC specification number JESD95 To obtain a copy of the specification, see the references listed at "RAM Expansion Modules". The specification defines DDR SO-DIMMs with nominal heights of 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0 inches. The 15-inch PowerBook G4 can accommodate DDR SO-DIMMS with heights of 1.25 inches or less.

PowerBook5,2 = Which brand? (slightly off toppic)
Hello all, I have been thinking of adding more RAM to my powerbook, but I realised that I am not sure about the Apple identification scheme giving correct answers for me, so I don't know what kind of RAM I need. I have a PowerBook5,2 and looking at apple identification guide[1] I don't see a laptop with a G4 running at 1GHz and firewire 800, although the port layout is simillar to what they call PowerBook G4 (15-inch FW 800), (15-inch 1.5/1.33GHz). So question: 1) What is the correct type of RAM for this laptop? 2) Does it need a special brand of RAM? I can easily buy Kingmax, but I am not sure if I won't run into trouble.

Generally installation went OK, although Debian installer complained about inability to finish installation of uw-imapd at the end; also installer complained about inability to install linux kernel properly, but kernel was installed.

Doing 'alsactl store' with DRC disabled should take care of this -- the alsa packages install hooks and whatnot so that 'alsactl restore' is run at the appropriate times. Hmm, I was under the impression that alsactl store is automatically ran at shutdown.

The powerpc architecture ubiquitous problem: sound
Hello all, I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.16.17 (vanilla, self built) forced by the recent udev incompatible changes and I thought that I will use snd-powermac. It seems that I can't get sound without using esd. Now, the fun part; every sound begins loud (or should I say at a normal level) and then is almost imediately attenuated, resulting in annoyance and really low volume in general. With dmasound-pmac the volume used to be a lot louder and didn't had this kind of issues. I have tried using the system without esd, but couldn't (some errors, sorry I have tried it some time ago, I could try again to get the exact error). Does anybody has sound working better than this for a PowerBook5,2? Any ideas how to fix this (without returning to dmasound-pmac)? -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In general you'd be encouraging people to install proprietary video drivers from NVidia and ATI. I think you are confusing 3D acceleration with OpenGL acceleration. I have a ATI (Radeon mobility 9600) based PPC machine and I use the r300 free drivers and I have OpenGL acceleration. These drivers would need x86 emulation on most of the platforms Debian supports, but nobody has yet been insane enough. That kind of insanaty is not needed. Better use that energy, if anybody thinks about it, to write the 3D acceleration part for the drivers. Another thing to do before release: run under valgrind while playing thousands of evil (use the flasm program) or slightly-corrupt files. Some of us like to keep a browser running until reboot (months) with many dozens of windows open. A plugin-induced crash is really infuriating. That is your choice; I think is possible to configure the browser to run flash movies as you wish, embedded or not. C++ and OpenGL are not so good for anything that is supposed to run fast. Where did you got that idea from? There is nothing wrong with C++ and compilers have evolved that much that in some cases the code is smaller and sometimes faster than the average code produced by a C compiler. Most of the lag comes, usually, from a badly designed set of classes.

There will be, but let's get the ones with layout-id first since snd-powermac should work on the older ones. Is snd-powermac based on alsa? That was my impression, but I can't convince xmms to use an alsa driver for playing while using snd-powermac :-/ . Previousely I have been using dmasound_pmac + esd because nothing else provided good sound (snd-powermac was distorting the sound, playing it too fast), but now it seems to be working fine.

I'll test that over the next days. The current daily images now show the AT keymap list. I've tested this on Frank Lichtenheld's Powerbook G4 laptop, and all keys are mapped OK for the German keyboard. The only change from the USB-MAC keymaps is that the apple key no longer works as the modifier key. Instead these can be accessed using Fn-Alt, which can probably be explained as that is probably equivalent to the right-Alt key on "regular" AT keyboards on i386. AFAICT the options are: - should the AT keymaps be made to support the apple key as modifier key or - should we go back to using the USB-MAC keymaps for powerpc or - should powerpc users learn to use Fn-Alt instead of the apple key Going back to USB-MAC keymaps is possibly not the prefered option because as I understand it the input layer of the 2.6 kernel translates everything to "AT", so in principle all architectures should now use AT keymaps.

I know I not being so helpful, but there should be a AM macro added in the Makefile.in file. It should be a library check, so I _assume_ is something like AM_CHECK(library) or something.

bluetooth mouses not working in recent Debian bluez-utils
Hello, I have just seen recently that my bluetooth mouse has stopped functioning (I haven't been using it daily so I can't say when this regression happened). The device is discovered if I hcitool scan. Please also note that I might not have a recent version as I couldn't update for some time (conectivity issues). Can somebody say if they encountered this problem with current versions of bluez-utils? (I have tested older kernels that I know that worked in thepast) With hcidump I see that there is some feature which is not supported, apparently, but I have used this mouse before. Sorry for th lack of details, I am not at home, so I can't reproduce the exact message. -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein

It should help to say that you are reffering to the blink led patch ;-) As far as I managed to look over it, the current status is that the entry is in /sys but has to linked to a hwif structure, so there is one per device, not one per system, as it is now (iirc). -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein

Fwd: [Dri-users] New DRI binary snapshots
This might interest a few fellows ;-) (see part about R300) -- Forwarded message -- From: Felix Kühling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Oct 28, 2005 4:27 AM Subject: [Dri-users] New DRI binary snapshots To: DRI-Users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, DRI-Devel Hello DRI testers, I finally got around to bringing the snapshot build up to speed with the latest changes in the build process and uploaded a first set of new snapshots to http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/. They are completely untested so be prepared for problems with the first couple of rounds. Please report any issues with the snapshots to [EMAIL PROTECTED] As long as they are problems with the snapshot build and packaging process I will try to resolve them ASAP. The new snapshots also include a package for the experimental R300 driver. I hope the R300 developers are fine with exposing their work to a larger audience. ;-) Best regards, Felix -- | Felix Kühling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://fxk.de.vu | | PGP Fingerprint: 6A3C 9566 5B30 DDED 73C3 B152 151C 5CC1 D888 E595 | --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

That naming convention just reduces the randomness in some corenr cases, as most use two or more identical ethernet cards, when needed. Mixed configs is rare and hapens mostly only in amateur environments. It does not help in proffesional ones (or maybe I am missing some detail) I am _totaly_ sure there is a way to assign a certain ethX number to a specific kernel module in some config files (/etc/network/interfaces and/or /etc/modules or alike; unfortunately I can't remember right now).

The weird thing is that with kernel 2.6.9 this problem was not present and now the level 1 of luminosity is not really level 1 when coming back from 0 luminosity, while when coming from level 2 the behaviour is normal. -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
Video sync issues on 2.6.12(-rc3, I think), reloaded
Hello all, System: Powerbook G4 (sept 2004) OS: Debian PPC GNU/Linux Linux: 2.6.12(-rc3, I think) I have a problem with video synchronization, sometimes when returning from sleep. The image is kind of scrambled. I saw that putting the laptop back to sleep and getting back from sleep (sometimes a few more times) fixes the problem. Ben suggested to try something; turning the luminosity to 0, then back to a positive value - this fixes it (sometimes after a few tries, is kind of cyclic). I wanted to know if this problem is fixed in the newer version of the kernel, so I would know is compiling a newer linux would be a good idea.. (I have mentioned this before and Ben was kind enough to give me an answer, but I never digged into the problem again.) -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
