Test patch for sleep on AluBooks

Please see the forum topic: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... db306079e0
since this patch has been updated since this post! Thanks!

benh released a patch to allow sleep on AluBooks with ATi chipsets. This patch does not fix sleep on iBook G4s or nVidia based chipsets.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/ ... 00438.html

The patch applies cleanly to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r1, assuming you have this kernel linked to /usr/src/linux and the patch has been unpacked and is in your home directory:

Code: Select all

 
cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < ~/albook-sleep.diff

Rebuild your kernel with power management, try it out and let us know how it works :)

I've mirrored the patch here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/albook-sleep.diff.bz2

As far as I can see, everything works fine. There is some white, then violet text on black screen before I get my X11 back, messages like "resume is unsafe", but everything displays ok afterwards.

yep, seems to work for me too. sometimes a x-console-x switch seems to be necessary to get rid of the occasional flicker.

have fun*

a Debian User, David Woodhouse, fixed the "resume is unsafe" problem by using the following patch:

Off topic but, what X version are you using that you can still do the x-console-x switch? It's been broken on my alubook 15" since I moved to xorg-6.8.0.

In the InputDevice Section, change macintosh in:

Code: Select all

Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"

to pc104 or pc105. This should fix the problem. If the line doesn't exist, add it.

bugger, you're right. I still had xorg-6.7 running. after the update sleep still works, but console-switch is gone, no matter what you put into the conf...

have fun* (nevertheless)

Can you post just the keyboard InputDevice section of your xorg.conf? Thanks.

blubbfisch · Post by **blubbfisch** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 4:44 am

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"

        Option  "XkbModel"      "macintosh"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

And I've tried to play with
Option "DontVTSwitch" "Off"
in the ServerLayout section

Have Fun*

Change it to this:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"

        Option  "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Right, OK, now I can switch to the console, but the keyboard layout is seriously b0rked....

How can I get the Mode_switch key back?
I used to have those in my .Xmodmap working well together with the "macintosh" layout:

Code: Select all

!! Apple workarounds
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
keycode 115 = Alt_L
remove Mod4 = Alt_L
add Mod1 = Alt_L

which let me access the fancy stuff like @²¼, etc... now I seem to have a German pc-keyboard mapping, which i no good, since the German mac mapping is different!

Have fun*

Hi,
patched teh 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 and it works fine

Going to sleep from console and from xorg6.8

I love it!

JoseJX · Post by **JoseJX** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 8:49 am

Please try the newer version of the patch instead, it fixes a large number of problems with the one given here.

Thanks!

okay. and where can i find the patch. I just the one at the beginnig of this thread. And can I patch the same kernel again, or do i have to get a new unpatched one?

JoseJX · Post by **JoseJX** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 2:29 am

Please see the link I posted at the top of this thread. You'll probably need to remerge the kernel and apply the patch to clean sources.
