It looks like the latest version is kept here. You'll have to build it from the source, but it seems straightforward enough.

Also, if you want to get rid of the warning, I'd throw in some "Return (Zero)" statements in this block of the WMBB function:


If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x02)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x03)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x04)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x05)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x06)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg1, 0x07 ...

I'm a little out of practice, but it looks like your 11 errors are still related to that ^CPU0._PPC call. I think I'd try replacing the remaining ^CPU0._PPC references with CPU0._PPC, especially since you've redefined the function call). That's probably why it's saying it can't find the function now ...

wow, jet black! Long time no see! Hey man - yeah, it's been a while. How's it going? I hope all is well. yeah, bits and pieces are ok. I'm on ubuntu now and i left the forums for a couple of months but i'm back now (someone has to show these crackers how to use a distro :D ). Glad to hear you're ...

I'm pretty sure I was part of the 1.4 crowd. I was also part of the forum exodus (though I wouldn't call myself a 'personality' :P). My departure was work-related, though, not because of bannings or other people or anything. I still lurk from time to time and occasionally post (obviously).

I've ...

haha - so it would seem.

Thank you, as well. Time to get installing, I suppose.

Well, as soon as I get a new motherboard for the myth box. :/

Fantastic. Thank you.

I'm thinking of putting gentoo back on a home machine after about a two-year hiatus from Linux. Obviously, I have a fair amount of catching up to do, but I thought I'd see if I could get a couple of quick questions answered before I start poring over docs again:

1. What's the state of support for ...

Great HOWTO, Snooper. I just followed it to reinstall gentoo on my laptop with NPTL support, and it worked like a charm.

Somebody needs to answer my question on how to get this monitor working with radeon. For some reason it syncs out with the exact same settings when I switch it from vesa. The topic can be found on the Desktop board.

Look on the bright side; if anyone answers that question I'll leave here sooner ...

Cliff's notes version of "Insanity: an article"

Satanists have infiltrated the US military. They are working with Satanists in the militaries of the other nations of the world under the flag of the UN. Their goal is to take over the US (martial law - rule by the military). When they succeed, they ...

I don't think that Pam appreciates the true seriousness of the situation. There are entire paragraphs in that article in which NOTHING IS WRITTEN IN BLOCK CAPS!

Is your system ACPI compliant? You can get some temperature monitoring via ACPI if it is.

I'm willing to try the vanilla, if you think it will work better (ndiswrapper requires 2.4.23 or better). I'm also willing - even a little eager - to try 2.6, but I've been a little more uncertain there which sources to use or how to filter/masque to get the one I want. Which kernel has been ...

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I have posted it, in case someone else would like to give it a look. I hope to have some time to check it out tomorrow. In the meantime:

Those apps won't do anything to restore missing information, but you may want to install at least acpid at some point to get your system to respond to acpi events. Basically, acpi just prints out some of the information from /proc/acpi. acpid watches for events, and allows you to put together ...

A lot of people have reported issues with the battery info in 2.6.1 and 2.6.2. There is apparently a bug in the acpi code in those kernels, which could be affecting you. Do you have a 2.4 kernel (or 2.6.0) lying around that you could try, just to see if you get values to show up in those files?

Hm, then I'm going to go ahead and guess that gkrellm isn't using that information at all.

On a more serious note, you should have some information there. Is that what it says while the battery is discharging?

I'm not sure how gkrellm does this, but it could just be a problem with the way it is calculated. If you check /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info, you'll see two "full" capacities. There is a "design capacity" and a "last full capacity". Since the battery will lose charge over time, the last full capacity ...

Make sure that you have kernel debugging compiled in, and you should see the output in /var/log/messages.

I could try compiling thermal as a module, but I suspect that doing so will cause the /proc entry to disappear until the module is loaded, at which point it will probably shut down before I can write the correct value to the file.

I would do that, but don't autoload the module. Load it manually ...

It's most helpful to see the whole thing. You could send it to me in a PM if you like. I can post it somewhere for more general access at that point.

I don't really know much about gs-sources. Have you tried it with a vanilla 2.4.24? Could be worth a shot.

Yes. 128 MB SanDisk cruzer mini. works like a charm on every 2.6 kernel I've tried.
