ddaaThanks everyone for the help in setting up the T42p. I have updated wiki.ubuntulinux.org. The page contains older more complicated instructions for T42 and a different model of T42p, if you could get the original authors to check and aggregate the instructions, that would be great.02:02

bob2daniels: hahahaha02:08
mjg59ddaa: Does suspend to RAM work with it?02:08
ddaamjg59: yup02:08
mjg59Cool. Did you need any kernel arguments?02:08
mjg59acpi_sleep=foo ?02:09
tuo2azeem: funny. ;)02:09
ddaaI used the same acpi_sleep=s3_bios as needed with the current kernel02:09
ddaaDid not test w/o it.02:09
=== ddaa reinstalls the kernel to test w/o acpi_sleep argument
mjg59ddaa: It probably does need it, but there's something else you could test02:12
mjg59ddaa: If you could install the video-post package from http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/laptops and then add /usr/sbin/video_post to the start of your resume script, that would be good02:12
mjg59With a bit of luck, that'll avoid the need for the kernel argument02:12
ddaamjg59: let me test things properly...02:13
ddaaabout eth1, the error I get is "no such device".02:18
ddaaHowever the device appears in the Gnome Device Manager (I do not know if that means anything)02:19
=== ddaa grumbles has he keeps forgetting to run update-grub
mjg59ddaa: Does lsmod show that the modules are loaded? Does dmesg say anything?02:21
danielsmjg59: what does video_post do?02:22
mjg59daniels: soft-boots the video card02:22

mjg59ddaa: Hmm. Anything in dmesg?02:25

mjg59ddaa: Oh, damn. Sorry, I managed to miss half the patch.02:28
mjg59Ugh. I'll fix that.02:29
ddaamjg59: the network problem is the big show-stopper. The other issue is the cpu freq applet. I have not checked whether freq scaling actually works though.02:29
mjg59ddaa: Right, I'll sort out the networking stuff02:30
danielsKeybuk: not much, just archifying xorg02:32
ddaaMh... interesting... without acpi_sleep, the machine did not actually hang... the video and the sound were out, but I was able to reboot it by blind-typing.02:33
Keybukfun02:33
danielsseems plausible02:33
ddaaDid not actually went as far as trying that with the warty kernel...02:33
mjg59ddaa: Ok - it'd be great if you could see if video_post brings it back02:34
ddaamjg59: next step02:34
ddaahowever, after that there is another time consuming test: checking how much batter power it actually consumes over 8 hours.02:34
ddaamaybe I'm having false impressions, but I thought the acpi_sleep parameter might be needed to get the proper sleep state.02:35
mjg59No, acpi_sleep just changes how the video is reinitialised on resume02:36
danielsno, acpi_sleep=s3_bios just runs through the video bios to reinitialise the video card when it comes back02:37
ddaamjg59: kudos! video_post at the start of the resume script makes it happy02:41
mjg59Rock02:42
danielsnoice02:43
thommjg59: "miss half the patch" is that ipw2100 firmware loader related?02:44
ddaamjg59: do you want me to check something for the cpu scaling support, or is the issue well known?02:47
mjg59thom: All firmware related02:47
mjg59ddaa: If you could, though I think that there's something broken in the realm of ACPI processor management02:47
mjg59If you have the cpufreq-acpi module (can't remember what it's actually called) loaded, changing to cpufreq-centrino may be better02:48
ddaamjg59: not that I can have a lot of initiative, but I'd happily run any test you want.02:48
ddaa(as long as it does not involve throwing the the lappy on the floor)02:48
mjg59ddaa: If you could stop powernowd, rmmod acpi, modprobe cpufreq-centrino and then restart powernowd, that would be good02:49
thommjg59: ah02:49

mjg59ddaa: modprobe speedstep-centrino ?02:53

mjg59daniels: That's... unnecessary02:53
mjg59Unless you want to upset anyone in your vicinity02:53
danielsmjg59: just wondering if you wanted a copy02:53
ddaamodprobe speedstep-centrino: no such device. dmesg says "no table support for CPU model "Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz" and "try compiling with CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI enabled"02:54
mjg59Hm. Right.02:55

mjg59ddaa: Heh. No, I'll be awake for a while yet06:58
ddaaMithrandir: not thinking time, but working on the Arch team teached me that people can go to bed at any hour, irrelevent of where they actually live.06:59
ddaa* not thinking that06:59
Mithrandireven in the early afternoon?  I can go to bed anything between 22-ish and 12-ish, but not between 12 and 22, that's just wrong.07:00
mjg59Can C do switch statements on strings?07:00
Mithrandirmjg59: no07:00
Mithrandirhow would you switch on a pointer?07:00
mjg59Yeah, thought not07:00

Keybukwell, you can, provided you're switching on literal equality07:00
Keybuknot just strcmp() returning a particular value07:01
ddaamjg59: if you are concerned by performance, you could probably hack something nifty as a "internable string", with compile-time interned values.07:02

mjg59Just call 0x4f10 with an argument07:23
mjg59Arse. The craptop only produces one lid event per open/close07:31
ChrisHmjg59: well... "dpms standby" worked. But when I try to get back I have a changed resolution. Far wider than high.07:31

ChrisHmjg59: yes07:32

cenerentolawhat about mataro... 07:43
danielscenerentola: yeah, that's nvidia's fault, too07:44
mjg59daniels: I'm thinking of this for the stuff that's in /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank at the moment - downside is that in the absence of a lid event on open, the screen isn't going to come back07:44
danielsmjg59: do we know of anything other than the craptop that don't issue a separate lid event?07:45
=== ddaa boggles at how insanely fast the t42p is...
ddaathe only reason left i have to use my 5 years old destkop is the ability to have _two_ screens... well, and the fact that external video does not quite work yet, too :-)07:46
mjg59daniels: I don't know of anything else, but it's a possibility07:46
mjg59Unfortunately, I doubt there's a programatic way of us working that out...07:47

ChrisHmjg59: I'm so stupid. Forget it. ;)07:50
=== ChrisH has had too much coffee today
danielsddaa: you might want to try xorg and the 'Option "UseFWPLL"' option07:50
mjg59ChrisH: There isn't one, as far as I know07:50
mjg59It's only a 2D driver, so it doesn't need kernel support07:50
danielsddaa: that should do the trick (possibly in combination with atitvout) when the monitor's plugged in before X is started07:51
mjg59daniels: Have you had a chance to test the i830 dual head stuff under xorg?07:52
danielsmjg59: if you could ship a big-arse CRT to room 531, First Hotel Vesterbro, Vesterbro 23-29, Kbenhavn, I promise to do my best :)07:53

mjg59init=/bin/bash seems to work fine for me. If I run hotplug, things don't work. If I load the same modules by hand, things do work.09:58
mjg59There's something subtle going on09:58
lupus_k I have music on a vfat partition10:01
lupus_but if you mount a filesystem10:01
lupus_you can not point to the link on the desktop10:01
lupus_to the filesystem10:02
lupus_created by gnome-vfs (g-v-m,hal)10:02
lupus_nm10:04
lupus_the problem seems to be that the old app does not support this kind :S10:05
lupus_in it's fileselector10:05
ddaawhat's the command to remount root as rw?10:06
thommount -o remount,rw /10:07
ddaaI'm definitely not managing to get something out of that init=/bin/bash situation10:14
ddaamjg59: okay, if I hack off /etc/init.d/hotplug, then s3 works okay in single user mode.10:27
mdzelmo: around?10:30
Mithrandirdoko: around?10:32
ddaamjg59: okay, with hotplug hacked off, I can suspend-to-ram and it wakes up okay.10:42
ddaaeven if full multi-user mode.10:43
ddaaof course, suspend to disk, cpufreq, and the ipw2200 (once loaded manually) still work okay10:44
ddaahowever, the hibernate key is inoperative... but I suppose that's because I am missing some module.10:46
=== ddaa awaits further requests

ddaamjg59: wow...11:20
ddaadid /etc/init.d/hotplug stop, then pressed the sleep button.11:20
ddaaIt worked....11:20
ddaaNow, try to figure that one out :-)11:21
ddaanevermind, was using warty kernel.... (me blushes)11:22
mjg59ddaa: I think  there's some strange timing issue or something11:25
ddaaMh... anything to back that up, or it's just because you just have no idea?11:25
mjg59I'm finding that I get some strange messages from acpi under certain circumstances with this kernel11:27
mjg59Odd stuff about functions returning AE_TIME11:27
Mithrandirthom: it seems libc is at fault, but we build glibc the same as debian, where the problem doesn't show.11:28
Mithrandirthom: so I'm thinking of blaming doko.11:28
Mithrandir(or gcc)11:28
mjg59Which is odd, because there's almost no difference between 2.6.10-rc1-bk17 and 2.6.10-rc111:29
mjg59In terms of acpi, anyway11:29
ddaaWell, maybe you can make me a 2.6.10-rc1 kernel so I can test what is going on?11:29
ddaaThat would narrow the problem somewhat.11:30
mjg59Ah - the previous kernel I gave you had more recent acpi11:30
mjg59Hang on, let me try something...11:30
mjg59Hrm. Damnit, this may require rebuilding all the modules as well.11:33
