Video for Linux deprecated drivers (VIDEO_V4L1)
Hello, I need add a device for a particular solution on a x86 box. Device is Logitech QuickCam, USB based WebCam (has to be included because of the change in the experiment specs). To get the device working (capture images by a V4L application), need to compile the driver (qc-usb) & insert the quickcam.ko module. But, what the requirement says I need to enable the VIDEO_V4L1 support. Then I need to select USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices. Till here it's fine. But if I look at the kernel config, VIDEO_V4L1 is deprecated. If I decide to enable VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, there isn't any USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices! Should I select the VIDEO_V4L1 support to get the WebCam working or is there any other way (work around) to get my WebCam working with VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT?

Enigma of Hardware Monitoring in 2.6.20.x or 2.6.21
Hello, I am did compile those kernels to the best available hardware in a P-III machine. (Research experiment - P-III box is a part of Wireless stuff). I have this enigma called Hardware Monitoring support on many boards. Because: a) Vendors don't give enough info - which chips are meant for Hardware Monitoring in a particular board, say in this case a P-III 810E or P4 945 or Core2Duo 965/975 boards. b) Unfortunately, there isn't any reference available in the Config to select the chips for the respective boards. Example - for 810E - some x chip is to be enabled in that tree. How to solve this problem? How to know in Linux (any commands) whether H/W Mon is supported by 810E board or 945 board? (apart from digging from the manuals to narrow down the problem). I am willing to do something for this task (volunteer).

Linux 2.6.20.7 - Hard Disk rumbling?
Hello,
I am facing a strange problems with an old 1.2 GHz P-III machine with
a 10 GB disk (used as a dedicated web server, later retired out of
service!).
Out of interest to implement some wireless solution (experiment), I
did compile 2.6.20.7 for my requirement. Strangely, I did observe:-
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0
What might be the problem?

Not all of the companies asking for this work are in the US, so I don't see any reason why we should limit our developers to just one country, that wouldn't be very fair... That's correct. There should be developers across many regions. For example, PC growth has the highest in Asia - so more users - hence the demand for device support ! Plus, there is huge demand coming in 2 important areas - Embedded & Mobile space. Just let me know what types of devices you are interested in working on. I would love to work on PC as well as Embedded stuff (Power, Intel, and ARM). Devices types - Audio/Video (this needs special attention for the Linux Desktop), USB (TV Tuner card, key for Linux Desktop), Bluetooth (Mobiles) , GSM/GPRS/WiFi/WIMAX (my self R area).

Not all of the companies asking for this work are in the US, so I don't see any reason why we should limit our developers to just one country, that wouldn't be very fair... That's correct. There should be developers across many regions. For example, PC growth has the highest in Asia - so more users - hence the demand for device support ! Plus, there is huge demand coming in 2 important areas - Embedded Mobile space. Just let me know what types of devices you are interested in working on. I would love to work on PC as well as Embedded stuff (Power, Intel, and ARM). Devices types - Audio/Video (this needs special attention for the Linux Desktop), USB (TV Tuner card, key for Linux Desktop), Bluetooth (Mobiles) , GSM/GPRS/WiFi/WIMAX (my self RD area).

Strange XServer (KDE) log out on 2.6.20-rc6 !!
Hello, I was working on this test machine with 2.6.20-rc6. There was a strange X log out (KDE 3.5.x). Three applications were running: BitTorrent client, Firefox 1.5.8, and KWrite. Suddenly, there was a log out from my work space (blank-blink for 3-4 seconds duration). Then, KDE log in screen appeared. When I logged in back, those applications were gone!! I would like to investigate this issue - whether it's a X bug or something to do with kernel?. I am not running the Firewall & SELinux (but, connected to internet). Any inputs for this pl? This maybe OT for LKML...not sure :( Thanks, ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Strange XServer (KDE) log out on 2.6.20-rc6 !!
Hello, I was working on this test machine with 2.6.20-rc6. There was a strange X log out (KDE 3.5.x). Three applications were running: BitTorrent client, Firefox 1.5.8, and KWrite. Suddenly, there was a log out from my work space (blank-blink for 3-4 seconds duration). Then, KDE log in screen appeared. When I logged in back, those applications were gone!! I would like to investigate this issue - whether it's a X bug or something to do with kernel?. I am not running the Firewall SELinux (but, connected to internet). Any inputs for this pl? This maybe OT for LKML...not sure :( Thanks, ~Akula2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-kernel in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I did ask in that - when is the deadline date to decide about the location? As Dirk has pointed out, the Kernel Summit is a little unusual compared to events such as FOSDEM or FISL, where there are 4000-5000 attendees, and the emphasis is on the power of a large number of people in the OSS community. The Kernel Summit is a very different event, in that it is by-invitation with less than 100 people. The whole point is to get the top contributors together to be able to talk amongst themselves in a high bandwidth environment. You can't do that amongst a crowd of 800, never mind 2000 or 4000. I do understand this & the objectives of the KS. I did mean whether is it possible FOSS.in could be used or not after KS (you've said Kernel developers would stick for 2-3 days in the location. Once the KS is over, developers can take the stage of FOSS.in to interact with people or hold a talk or whatever. I didn't put this point clearly, my mistake. So the only reason why any organization would be willing to pay so that top contributors would come to some country like India would be if to attract visibility and excitement to some big conference or other big OSS/Linux initiative that happened right after the kernel summit. But quite frankly, I personally wouldn't consider it a wise use of money; it would cost a heck of a lot of money and there are plenty of other, more cost effective ways to promote a big OSS conference in India. I didn't understand your statement - some country like India! MIT has Media Labs Asia in India. MIT selected India for the $100 Linux Laptop project. Airbus & Boeing are in India. You are my fellow employee & senior to me, IBM has India Research Labs! Many corporates do promote conferences here, sometimes cost need not to be a deciding factor at all when quality comes first! Anway, am yet to get a positive signal from my Bosses. And if there's no business case for the Indian government or some local Indian companies to pay to fly all of the KS attendees to India, why in the world do you think that companies like HP, Intel, IBM, Red Hat, Novell, etc. will pay for their employees to travel to the Kernel Summit? They don't have even less of the incentive than the local Indian companies/government to do so! Maybe during the dot-com madness of the late 1990's, when people spent money like crazy on things that made no business sense whatsoever, but those days are long gone. Money doesn't grow on trees any more, if it ever did. Regarding getting funding from Indian Govt, have decided to write personally to President of India, Dr. Kalam & to Minister for Information Technology (this is as individual capacity). I hope something happens on this...will try my best (this is a time consuming process). I do know about why corporates fund the employees (I didn't say anything -ve about this). The main reason why we are trying a one-year experiment in Cambridge is because approximately 1/3rd of the KS attendees are from Europe. At the moment I believe we have exactly one person from India, who has been selected through her own merit, to attend the Kernel Summit. So does it make sense to fly everyone else to India? It doesn't seem so to me! I have never mentioned any objections for other locations, plus I do understand the Geographical factors.

Bring a very large number of developers together in India. Get them to work really hard, encourage them to participate on LKML, and produce lots of useful patches. Eventually, some of them will do enough good work that they will be recognized as maintainers of key subsystems. When there are 25-30+ people from India who have done enough for the Linux kernel community and risen to be recognized as top contributors in the Linux world such that they are invited to the Kernel Summit on their own merits, I'm sure there a Kernel Summit in India would very quickly follow. This is quite interesting to me. I wanted to understand here, is contributing on LKML (patches) is the ONLY criteria for holding a Kernel Summit? There might be 25-30 people from India on LKML, but they are scattered around the globe ;-). Anyway, to see 30 good & right people based in India contributing on LKML might take another 2-3 years more :( But, I will start this with me... Still, if someone wants to pay a vast quantity of money to pay travel for all so that the KS can be held in some exotic location (especially if it's Waikiki beach, or Aspen Colorado during the

Hopefully most kernel summit attendees would stick around for 2-3 days afterwards for the technical conference. This is a good idea ;-) There is a FOSS held in India every year, can we consider to make use of this venue? Pl have a look:- http://foss.in/2006/ The problem is that the value of the kernel summit is that we get the > 90% of the key, "right" people there so we can have face-to-face conversations. There reason why I started organizing it years ago was that I hoped that if key developers had a chance to meet with each other at least once a year, it would help them more productively communicate with each other via e-mail the rest of the year. I think it has succeeded in that goal quite well. The problem though is that most people can't afford to fly to India or Australia, and their employers' travel budgets won't allow that either --- and the value of the K-S is based on getting as many of the key kernel developers in one place as possible. I do fully agree with you on this. It should be a quality time with atleast 90% key people. Two years ago, maddog tried to convince me that Brazil would be a perfect place to hold a kernel summit, and that the Brazillian government was 100% behind linux, and could provide a wonderful location, yadda, yadda, yadda. What I told him was that the only way I could imagine it working would be if the Brazillian government was willing to pay travel costs for all 80+ kernel summit attendees to fly from whatever their home airport to Brazil. That way, we don't have to deal with the pushback from corporate travel budget keepers for having to pay $$$ for travel to places around the world. When I told maddog that, presumably he went back to his Brazillian contacts and we never heard back from him about moving the kernel summit to Brazil again. :-) I really doubt whether any Government pays for a Kernel Summit (they will have their own reasons or whatever). Maddog might have felt same like me - huge potential of Linux lies with in B-R-I-C nations, hence we need to stir up more for the movement to catch up (KS would be perfect for this). This initiative would also pays the way for making the dream of a competing Linux Desktop turning into a reality. I am not saying any other nation is less significant, history of Linux is the proof for that. All am wishing is, let's make something more or do more good for our Penguin ;-) I would suspect it would be a similar issue with India. I'd love to have the opportunity to visit Bangalore (or should I say Bengaluru? :-). I also know that it's extremely unlikely that my employer would agree to pay for me to fly there, not to mention all of the other folks that would need to go to the K-S. But hey, if you think that there are organizations in India who would be willing to pay travel for _all_ of the K-S attendees (preferably business class travel :-), let's talk Earlier it was Bangalore, it's now Bengaluru. Linux is also happening in other places here in India like Hyderabad, Pune, Gurgoan, etc (these cities has IT power houses). I do not know about other organizations much. I shall put this with my bosses in my Labs first, this would be involving my company itself . Also, shall explore with my peers (other orgnizations like FOSS). What is the deadline to decide about the location? Believe me, my wish is so high...I wanted to sponsor for u guys (can bear a dozen)...but not so many as 80 ;-) [OT] I read as key kernel developers as some 440 members. Is this for 2.4.x or what? I am confused with the figure 80 ??

Pl have a look:- http://foss.in/2006/ The problem is that the value of the kernel summit is that we get the 90% of the key, right people there so we can have face-to-face conversations. There reason why I started organizing it years ago was that I hoped that if key developers had a chance to meet with each other at least once a year, it would help them more productively communicate with each other via e-mail the rest of the year. I think it has succeeded in that goal quite well. The problem though is that most people can't afford to fly to India or Australia, and their employers' travel budgets won't allow that either --- and the value of the K-S is based on getting as many of the key kernel developers in one place as possible. I do fully agree with you on this. It should be a quality time with atleast 90% key people. Two years ago, maddog tried to convince me that Brazil would be a perfect place to hold a kernel summit, and that the Brazillian government was 100% behind linux, and could provide a wonderful location, yadda, yadda, yadda. What I told him was that the only way I could imagine it working would be if the Brazillian government was willing to pay travel costs for all 80+ kernel summit attendees to fly from whatever their home airport to Brazil. That way, we don't have to deal with the pushback from corporate travel budget keepers for having to pay $$$ for travel to places around the world. When I told maddog that, presumably he went back to his Brazillian contacts and we never heard back from him about moving the kernel summit to Brazil again. :-) I really doubt whether any Government pays for a Kernel Summit (they will have their own reasons or whatever). Maddog might have felt same like me - huge potential of Linux lies with in B-R-I-C nations, hence we need to stir up more for the movement to catch up (KS would be perfect for this). This initiative would also pays the way for making the dream of a competing Linux Desktop turning into a reality. I am not saying any other nation is less significant, history of Linux is the proof for that. All am wishing is, let's make something more or do more good for our Penguin ;-) I would suspect it would be a similar issue with India. I'd love to have the opportunity to visit Bangalore (or should I say Bengaluru? :-). I also know that it's extremely unlikely that my employer would agree to pay for me to fly there, not to mention all of the other folks that would need to go to the K-S. But hey, if you think that there are organizations in India who would be willing to pay travel for _all_ of the K-S attendees (preferably business class travel :-), let's talk Earlier it was Bangalore, it's now Bengaluru. Linux is also happening in other places here in India like Hyderabad, Pune, Gurgoan, etc (these cities has IT power houses). I do not know about other organizations much. I shall put this with my bosses in my Labs first, this would be involving my company itself . Also, shall explore with my peers (other orgnizations like FOSS). What is the deadline to decide about the location? Believe me, my wish is so high...I wanted to sponsor for u guys (can bear a dozen)...but not so many as 80 ;-) [OT] I read as key kernel developers as some 440 members. Is this for 2.4.x or what? I am confused with the figure 80 ??
