*** My stock RH72 kernel (I think it's 2.4.9-?) loads the i810 module and it seems to work fine tho' I haven't tried listening to MP3 stuff. Wav files that come with RH72 play fine so there is no reason to assume itr's not going to work. IOW, you need to enable the Intel 810 chip in the sound configuration of the stock Linux kernel. You should not need to use Alsa... > don't have any devices to test with although they appear > to be recognised OK by the system. *** I have used IrDA on other Tecra models in the past but it's always been somewhat of a hit and miss affair. I have seen reports that WiFi (wavelan_cs module) works fine on Portege 4000 (it uses the same hardware). I see the same module loading on my machine but I haven't had a chance to configure it yet. As soon as I get a new kernel working I'll give it a whirl... However, that may need a RH72 reinstallation or going back to gcc 2.96... > I also have this really annoying problem with the screen > dimming (ie. backlight turns off) when the battery is down > to 50% power. *** AFAIK, that is is a "feature" of the Toshiba BIOS and the problem is that the API to control that is not completely open (so-called SCI API from Toshiba). You could try using one of the Jonathan Buzzard's Toshiba utilities (I am writing this off-line so can't provide you with a URL but a Google search should get you there) but I'm fairly confident there is no solution for this problem at present (much like hibernation). > My two wishlist items at the moment are: 1) Screen not > dimming when battery is at 50% and 2) Fully functioning > sound. *** As I said above - sound should be easy. The issue of the screen not so.. > On the positive side apm and suspend works really well. *** I never had any problems with APM on Tecras (and I've used pretty much all high-end models in the last 4-5 years) under Linux (approx since the 2.0.2x kernel times)... > Just out of interest.

I won't be able to do anything before early next week (I have been on the road since Tuesday)... > .... hold on .... ahh here it is ... try: > > http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx/ > *** Thanks. I recall that I managed to get it under control somehow on the 8200 model (my previous machine) but can't recall how... --Nino _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
