 1. at wakeup, after sleep, the computer crashes! [kernel]

Each time? Only after sleep for a long time?

 2. one single touch of the trackpad is like a double-click [kernel]

Use trackpad notap, perhaps. Should be in pmac-utils.

 3. group of pixels change color, like moving around [both fbdev and ati
 servers]

Wrong memclk or pll setting.

 Am I the only one seeing this?

Apparently so. 2.4.6 (-benh from two weeks back or so) works just fine
here. So does the X server (4.1.0-0pre1v2; I doubt 4.1.0-1 is much
different).

Each time. I will recompile the new tree, and re-test.

Emmm. I use the tapping more than the button. I hardly use
the button. I also noted that, with the previous kernel,
the mouse speed was different before and after sleep.
Will have to re-test this too.

please, some more info on this. Where do I set these? What file?

I am running 2.4.7-pre7 now, which sounds like 2.4.6. Wakeup and tapping
are OK. I have a problem with the modem though, as it is not recognised.

thats´s right. The modem doesn´t work on my pimso, too.
it worked a few weeks ago with old 2.4.0testxxx paulus kernel.

I´m rsyncing right now and will test if the problem appears with 2.4.8pre3-benh 
as it does with 2.4.7 ...

 1. at wakeup, after sleep, the computer crashes! [kernel]

Each time? Only after sleep for a long time?


The awakening process takes a while,
and the machine crashes only if I hit a key during the
awakening process.

When the machine is awake, the pmud is affected
somehow, and gkrellm is dead (a white image took
its place).

This is pmud after wakeup,
when using the broken kernel (2.4.8-pre3-ben0):

-- telnet localhost 879
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
pmud 0.6 11
S {101 3741 3741 0 12548} {101 3397 3397 0 12325}
S {101 3741 3741 0 12548} {101 3397 3397 0 12325}
^]

telnet c
Connection closed.

This is pmud after wakeup,
when using the good kernel:

(I am trying to describe what happens, but I can be more
detailed if you guide me.)

It is difficult to trigger this command; as windows keep
appearing when moving the cursor.

... still lookin for more info on this. I could not find any.


On the modem, I can see the boot info:


tty00 at 0xcd8e4020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC (cobalt modem)
tty01 at 0xcd8eb000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC (IrDA)


but when I actually use ttyS0 (pppconfig and wvdialconf)
the device is not recognized. Also pppconfig's menue is
completely screwed; what I select is not what I get.

 and the machine crashes only if I hit a key during the
 awakening process.

OK, that's a side effect of BenH's new threaded wakeup code. Apparently
there's a stale function pointer somewhere or the ADB code doesn't
properly guard against being entered before fully initialized (less
likely, keypress during boot won't kill it I'd assume).

 This is pmud after wakeup,
 when using the broken kernel (2.4.8-pre3-ben0):

 -- telnet localhost 879
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 pmud 0.6 11
 S {101 3741 3741 0 12548} {101 3397 3397 0 12325}
 S {101 3741 3741 0 12548} {101 3397 3397 0 12325}

Looks like the PMU doesn't know it's running on battery, or the /dev/pmu
channel is stale and does not return new data. Try shutting down and
restarting pmud (and gkrellm) after sleep.

   2. one single touch of the trackpad is like a double-click [kernel]

 appearing when moving the cursor.

I definitely don't see this, and I don't even have the trackpad tool
installed under Debian. Must be something odd with the input code.

 Wrong memclk or pll setting.


 ... still lookin for more info on this. I could not find any.

I have a kernel boot option of video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:32,mclk:89
(so the PLL setting was OK, just the old default mclk was off for me).

mclk is the clock speed of the aty-memory interface, pll the PLL clock.
Both preset in the atyfb driver, see the source for current defaults. Just
play with mclk a bit (up to 110 is fine IIRC).

 tty00 at 0xcd8e4020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC (cobalt modem)
 tty01 at 0xcd8eb000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC (IrDA)

 but when I actually use ttyS0 (pppconfig and wvdialconf)

Maybe the device powerup delay got broken. The modem needs to be powered
up on tty open, and that takes some time. The old serial driver used to
block on open until the modem was ready.

2001-08-01 Thread Bob Hunter




Arch: PowerBookG3 1999/lombard.

OK stuff:

- ATI Mach64 LI accelerated: OK
- Keyboard: OK

no-OK stuff:

1. at wakeup, after sleep, the computer crashes! [kernel]
2. one single touch of the trackpad is like a double-click [kernel]
3. group of pixels change color, like moving around [both fbdev and ati

4. mozilla's fonts of the main window look ... big and dotted [config?]
5. the arrows (dragbars) look funny/out of place.

Am I the only one seeing this?
