Are you using APM or ACPI?
I'm working with kernel 2.6.8.1 and ACPI and shutdown doesn't work...
Any ideas, what I can do? |

Using acpi.
just noticed (because forgot to patch) that shutdown works without it.
tried r10 --> this doesn't even boot, just shutsdown while booting (without any pathch applied)
and the newest 2.6.9-r1 has no swsusp in it, so I just use r9!
So try r9.

|
|
Hi everybody,
at first the HW I am using: a IBM Thinkpad R50p with a FireGL (VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2] )
My current SW:
->Gentoo Linux, gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9
-> xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1, my video driver is the standard video driver from xorg for ati
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Unknown Board"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Because i need to connect my laptop to an external monitor or a beamer, i need to use the vga port. Under the console, switching with Fn F7 works fine ( only laptop, both laptop and monitor, only monitor -> everthing works fine). As soon as i switch to X, the keys Fn F7 does not work any more. If I connect a monitor, the picture is directly shown on the external monitor without hitting the keys. But the picture flickers a lot, so its not usable.Any further hit of the keys has no impact. Any ideas ? perhaps some options in the xorg-config file ? I searched for quite a while, but didn't find a solution.
thx |

They will ship to the UK. Or try ebay. It shouldn't be hard to find. _________________ By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. - Socrates |

Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 11:47 am Post subject: ACPI suspend to RAM Fn+F4 |
|
|
I apparently got suspend to RAM to work in ACPI on my Thinkpad X31.
The problem was previously that the display backlight woudn't turn off.
Here's my /etc/acpid/default.sh
Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
set $*
group=${1/\/*/}
action=${1/*\//}
case "$group" in
button)
case "$action" in
power) /usr/bin/chvt 7
radeontool light on
;;
sleep) sync && sync && sync
/usr/bin/chvt 1
radeontool light off
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
radeontool light off
;;
lid) sync && sync && sync
/usr/bin/chvt 1
radeontool light off
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
radeontool light off
;;
*) logger "ACPI action $action is not defined"
;;
esac
;;
*)
logger "ACPI group $group / action $action is not defined"
;;
esac
|
The key is to switch to a text console prior to use radeontool to turn off the display (the /usr/bin/chvt 1 line).
Obviously, you need to enable acpid in your startup scripts, and emerge radeontool... |

Evil, evil thinkpad!
After much searching online I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me...
When I first installed gentoo about a year ago, I couldn't get sleep (echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep) working and I didn't have time to fix it. It would successfully sleep, but there was no way to wake it up.
Now, I've just upgraded my kernel to the gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10 r6 and sleep works better, in that it goes to sleep *and* hitting the function key seems to wake it up---sort of.
When it's waking up , the screen says "in" in yellow text for a while, then the sleep light goes out and the thing reboots.
Anyone else have this problem, or know what could be causing it?
I've tried a variety of kernel options (like acpi_sleep=s3_bios, hdx=stroke, nolapic...) but nothing seems to make any difference.
I don't really want to switch to APM but I cannot, for the life of me, get this thing working. |

Do the recovery cd's re-instate the backup/pre-desktop partition? or once it's gone is it gone for good?
I just want to be sure that if I screw everything up, I can bang the recovery cd's in and have a working system as beautiful as it was when it arrived? |

Hi,
I've just bought a new hard drive for my thinkpad, but there's one big problem... Warranty ended one week ago and IBM now wants about 60 for the recovery cd, what I really don't want to pay. So I would like to backup the predesktop, but I don't know why, on my R50 the IBM app for backupping doesn't exist (i can only backup the installed system)...
So I switched off the security function, so that I can see the part of the hard drive. But cfdisk tells me, that it is really "free space", so I don't know, how to backup it...
Any ideas, how I can do that?
thx,
Tim-Oliver |

Anyone has nomad-'s ifplug.action file? Because the link to his site is not working any more, and I really would like to have a look at it (noone should have to invent the wheel twice ) _________________ Las torturas mentales de la CIA |

Or at least, my current version of it:
sunds@espoir>> more /usr/sbin/ifplugd.action
#!/bin/bash
logger ifplugd.action run $*
if [ -x ${rc_script} ]; then
case "$2" in
up)
/sbin/ifconfig $1 down &> /dev/null
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 --quiet start
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop
;;
down)
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 --quiet stop
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
;;
*)
echo "$0: wrong arguments"
echo "Call with <interface> <up|down>"
exit 1
;;
esac
else
echo "$0: init script ${rc_script} not found"
exit 2
fi
logger interface $1 changed to $2
exit 0

Thank's, but it was about nomad-'s more sophisticated version of that script. In the meanwhile I already worked out a solution by myself, please see this thread. _________________ Las torturas mentales de la CIA |

Hey I have a general question, There seems to be several different types of R51 out there
can anyone tell me if this laptop
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6754834826&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
is the type that this howto refers to?
I had read somewhere that the centrino technology was not supported under linux, and I am not sure if this is the same Wi-Fi card as is indicated in this howto
thank you all for your time and have a good day _________________ Abit KD7-S

The laptop at ebay has a lower screen resolution, another graphics chip etc. However, the howto may be useful. I used it to configure my R51 (yet another model). |
