If you do this, you'll only be able to post messages via the web. However, if you are very sensitive to spam, that's a tradeoff you may want to make and I...
This is not specific to Linux install, but I have been working to clear up a problem with a high frequency squeal/whistle sound which occurs when my D800 is...
Went through the same thing, the sound was a high pitch noise kind of like when you change resolution on the old school monitor it makes this magneto-electric...
Forwarding to the list...this is a good report, especially for Gentoo people ... Subject: D800 - another install Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 16:26:50 +0000 From:...
I have a caps lock problem when I use gnome terminal, it doesn't affect anything. Shift works fine, caps lock doesn't. Is anybody having this problem? Igor ......
I've got problems with page-up and page-down in my xterm, but I assume these are just redhat config problems (probably on my part) - I don't think they're D800...
... Yepp, VESA works just fine with my (somewhat patched) 2.4.21-rc1-ac3 kernel. Let me know, if you keep having problems and I'll try to create a large diff...

Ok, first, sorry Mike. I should have read your page before sending you that email. I've found the list. Second, my page is ...
There is a much better version of this on my page (see my other post). This has issues. Mostly, it suspends twice some times due to the inability to reliably...
Have the same problem. Definatly the AC adapter (I could actually fell mine vibrate), and definatly when the battery is full. Also, it gets VERY hot at this...
I've made a link to your site in the context of ACPI scripts alongside the link to Markus Gutschke's scripts. I'm going to clean up / reorganize my page to...
No apologies necessary! I've updated my page with a link to your gentoo/d800 site. Other Gentoo types should be quite happy with your notes - they look great ...
Ok, if added a few more bits about key mapping to my page. All the keys are acounted for, except fn-f8 (lcd/crt) which doesn't appear to be anything software...
The FN-F10 (eject) is strange. I only get one event from it. After this, it does nothing. That is, the first time I press it, it generates the expected key...
I've seen the same thing. Even stranger, since they replaced my optical driver, turning the wireless on ejects the drive *every* time. I can't explain it all. ...
Sorry for this question, I'm not sure why the cat /proc/cpuinfo shows 0 KB on my dell, while showing correctly on my two others (which are AMD Athlons), I'm...
No answers for why its 0, but I can confirm that it is zero on my machine too. I'm running linux-2.4.21-rc2-ac2 now (I've updated my d800 page with info about...
Hey everyone - I still need to clean the page out by deleting some of the more exploratory stuff that has since been better understood, but I wanted to let...
Hello, Thanks for helpfull info. I know diddley about compiling the kernel. But the info on Mike's web page seems clear enough so I gave it a try. My...
In case anybody else is stuck at 1024X768. My environment: - D800 Bios A02 - RH9 patched up to date (20May2003) - Latest RH9 kernel 2.4.20-13.9 - Installed the...
This could the BIOS - I heard someone mention this problem a while back but I don't recall any definitive answer to it, and I'm not having the problem but I'm...
Hmm. If you just moved my .config in there I can think of one thing that may be happening: I think I'm missing a step for people that just use the .config -...
... I do not think this problem is related to the BIOS version. I recently upgraded to A02 and that did not appear to have any adverse effects. Maybe, Dell...

... that ... actually, Yah. That was it. I did a 'make oldconfig'. Then I noticed that it had over-written the .config file. So I replaced it with the...
My cheeky reply would be to start using lilo, but that's only because I don't know grub at all. I don't think you have to have an initial ramdisk (initrd)...
Yeah nothing beats the old school problem of forgetting to run lilo after making changes :) I'm totally with you Mike, I'm a lilo user as well, have no clue...
