Yeah, you might be right. But just to set the record straight; I don't use those patches myself since I don't own an xbox. But if (and it sure does seem so according to the link I posted above) the changes are *that* minimal, they shouldn't cause any problems at all, but have the advantage of letting xbox-users run morph-sources. After all, quite a few people seem to use xbox as pure linux systems (at least if one is to trust google

).

However, I think the biggest reasons for refraining from the xbox-patches would be, as you mention, firstly that patches should be kept down to a minimum, and secondly that it might be too much work for the maintainer...

Regarding the xbox patches, I was thinking about merging them as a USE flag. The patch itself doesn't interfere with other patches in morph-sources and it gets applied cleanly on top of the latest morph-sources (apart from a trivial reject in the Makefile). So, as long as things stay this way, I'd say there's no harm in keeping it in as USE flag. What do you guys think?

It's completely up to you then. I won't use it though :wink:

So my vote will be no. I won't complain either way.

I think a USE-flag is an absolutely brilliant idea, and if the process is that clean then my vote is a definite yes. If for naught else, then at least for the sake of completeness (AFAIK, morph-sources will be the only patch-set to compile on ALL x86-architectures

)

Hi yardbird,

Just tried the morph-22.

works fine with my opteron running on the 686 mode.
:cry:

but keep rebooting on the amd64 mode when udev is populating /dev.
I didn't manage to make it running.
Just for feedback.
I will try the next release and let you know.
Just one question: are the opteron specifics patches of the gento-dev-sources included is morph. My assumptiom is no.
Would it be possible it is not to much work and not incompatible to the current morph patchset to include them.
This is may a way to improve the robustness of morph on opteron based machines.
Nevertheless very good job anyway.

Hi,

I've added a poll on the website about the features you'd like to see in morph-sources. You're welcome to cast your vote and voice your opinion

JBerro: I'll look into dev-sources patches and will add the Opteron ones. The problem you're reporting is very strange indeed.

If anyone here is using morph22 with swsusp2 compiled in *and* actually working, can you please post your config for the hibernate process. Thanks in advance.

I have had swsusp2 working fine until I updated the hibernate script(s) and was using the latest nitro. Before anyone asks, yes I deleted my old hibernate.conf with etc-update -- lesson learned :-(

I have since moved to morph sources and stability has returned, just no working swsusp2 at the moment.

Ok. maybe someone can help with my problem. When I suspend from within X and logged in it shuts down fine. When I turn the machine back on it load the kernel starts swapping stuff back, but then goes to a black screen. Any hints as to what my problem might be? I have an nvidia video adapter in my laptop and am using the latest driver and the kernel agpgart. The *only* other change I made to my system besides kernel updates was to add speedstep support which works quite nice.

The orinoco 0.15rc2 patch in morph22 doesnt work in scan and monitor mode. How can I take out that patch and patch the older 0.13e orinoco patch? Thanks

lenk

Hey, great patchset! Congrats to developers...

I wish I could use it but I can't.
Why?
'Cause it doesn't include the -ac patchset with ITE82xx drivers which I badly need and netfilter layer7 patches which I need for shaping those bad behaved p2p programs network traffic.

Any chance these patches gettin' in?

Anyway, I think the approach of morph-sources of promoting latest features but giving priority to stability is the best way to go...

Sticking to 2.6.10 seems like a good choice ATM.

Cheers.

Hiya all,

2.6.10-morph23 is out. I've merged as optional (read: USE flags) the updated v4l and bluetooth patches and the xbox patch. Plus there are some updates and yet more fixes. Go to the website for more details. Enjoy!

-------

JBerro: it seems like the Opteron patches are already in morph-sources (as they are taken from -as3, included in morph-sources). Do you have any pointer to these (or other) opteron patches?

dedeaux: the first suspect is the Nvidia driver. Have you taken a look at the wiki?

lenk: that'd be kinda hard, since the orinoco driver overwrites the driver present in vanilla and there is no patch. You could try to replace your linux/drivers/net/wireless directory with the one from vanilla and then install orinoco 0.13.

pilx: I'll try to add IT82xx support in the next release.

EDIT: BTW, pilx, where can I find info on those netfilter patches?

Thanks for the tips. Yes I have now read the docs on the swsusp2 wiki. I am now back in business with this after moving to nvidia's agpgart over the kernel gart. I had moved to the kernel gart after a warning about lockups with the nvidia one on the nitro 2.6.11-rcx kernels.

I am running morph23 with everything working.

I get an error when merging:

mayday, looks like your kernel sources file is corrupted try doing
