Hi. Between the nice hardware that is the D800, and Mike's incredibly helpful notes, I've gotten most everything working great on this machine (with a RH9...
If you use Alan's kernels, you have to use atomic_read(&your_variable) to access the variable in that line. No need to do so for Marcello's kernels. Markus...

I've updated the page with a link to this patch so this doesn't snafu anyone else. I think it was the only truly non-working instruction on the page so I...
The recently announced kernel updates seem to contain some fixes that might make life easier for us. I don't know diddly. However, the following items caught...
I have two definitions of the "right" kernel, personally 1) the realistically "right" kernel is one which drives all of the hardware you need to use in a...
Hey Guys: I tried to use the 1280x800 resolution using that ModeLine directive in XF86Config but unfortunately the screen is now scrollable vertically, i.e. ...
Your kernel and your kernel modules must both match, and they should either both be managed by RPM, or both be outside of RPM. So, your options are to either...

Wow, that was it! Thanks Markus! Igor ... From: Markus Gutschke [mailto:markus@...] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 3:36 PM To:...
I'll add to what Markus said by saying I actually split the two, and its not so bad. My kernel is manual from source, but the alsa module is in RPM. The reason...
I'd never tried to find those before. They are sort of hidden - I'd expected them to be on kernel.org (seemed sensible...) I found them here though: ...
Hi, Has anyone else had trouble using kdevelop after patching their kernel to 2.4.21-rc2-ac2? At the moment I get the message "cannot set up thread-local...
I just started up kdevelop to see if it worked, and after the little install wizard it worked for me. I'm on a fully patched RedHat 9 system. This might be...
... While on the topic of problematic programs, did anybody get k3b to work with recent 2.4 kernels and devfs enabled ? It tries to access the drive as:...
Hi guys, I use the following script to suspend my D800. It is based on Mike's code, with some additions (notably the keyboard & mouse stuff). Everything works...
Do you know which components are consuming the power? I found a simple tool at http://fdd.com/software/radeon/ that completely shuts down the LCD backlight...
... Well I have found that this only sort-of works. If you don't load the ide-scsi stuff, then you have problems burning CD's and playing DVD's. Mplayer was...
... No, unfortunately I don't. ... My card is an nVidia. ... I didn't do anything to turn down fans. As you can see from the script that I posted, I output a...
I have now read at several places (e.g. http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/%7Eocc/laptop/) that the ACPI S3 states (i.e. suspend) will not work with 2.4.X kernels and we...
... That is certainly my understanding. However it doesn't work in 2.5.70 yet. I can suspend my D800 quite easily. However it doesn't resume very well :-( ...

You're right. I just did some updates on rhn (glibc stuff + kde -security patches for good measure) and the problem's gone away! Speaking of rc2-ac2, has...
... Thanks for the info. I am currently using the 2.4.21-rc-ac series. The swsup patch does not apply reasonably against any of those. On the other hand swsup...
On gentoo, I don't have to insmod the modules. Of course, I didn't compile them as modules. PCMCIA on a laptop is kind of like acpi, you always want it. Also,...
Just FYI, to get the docking station output to work, you have to build the USB Audio driver. Apperently, much of the stuff in the docking station is USB...
