The little details mean so much. Should have stated the first time that
the line:       



Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.5"


Do you need help?X

Was added as the last line to the Synaptics Touchpad section of the
file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, like this:



Section "InputDevice"

	Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver		"synaptics"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"auto-dev"
	Option		"HorizScrollDelta"	"0"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.5"


EndSection

you definitely need another kernel.

Can we help you?X

you could rebuild the 486 kernel with the highmem options set... but
that'll take a bit.

I think you can install this kernel and see your memory. You have an
AMD, so this should work. though I've not tried it. If it doesn't
work, you'll know first boot... ;) It is a 32bit kernel and will work
with the stuff you already have installed.

if you don't know then you probably don't need it.=20



learn to use 'apt-cache search' and 'apt-cache show'.

I have a box that powers down pretty regularly, and is
rarely up for more than 24 hours.  I usually shutdown
via /sbin/shutdown from the command line, but occasionally
I'll use the rodent from a kdm screen.  I noticed that
/var/log/messages contains far more "shutting down
for system halt" messages than does /var/log/syslog.



# zgrep halt syslog.*.gz | wc -l; zgrep halt messages.*.gz | wc -l
2


16


Don't know where to look next?X

My hypothesis is that kdm is logging through syslog, while shutdown
is logging through messages...but it seem odd that kdm doesn't
use shutdown.  Can anyone explain this discrepancy?  (I want
to know date/times for recent shutdowns to compare against
/var/log/aptitude, and I find it annoying that I have to
look in 2 places.)  Is this a bug in kdm?

I intend buying a pivot monitor (the wide-screen becomes a tall-screen). But
how can I tell X.org to rotate the output image by a right angle? Also, can
X.org handle tall resolutions like 900x1440 (instead of 1440x900)?

I can see that its a problem with sse2 but my box is dual opteron and it

There is a program call xrandr and other similar guis that can do this.
There is probably a setting in xorg.conf for this I expect. Google for
'xrandr'.

Presumably to reduce the chance that people nearby will use up your

hmmm... it seems that indeed it's a problem with sse2 option. It=20
compiles smoothly with --enable-sse2=3Dno.

I have installed xrandr on my laptop which has pivot screen. however i
am only able to get this to work for increasing/decreasing screen
resolutions and not for changing layout from "landscape" to "portrait"
or reversing/reflecting x or y axis.

OTOH I have really not goone deeper in to error messages but they are
reproduced below. BTW right now I am running Ubuntu7.04 but earlier
this was loaded with Debian Etch with same results.

I just download the deb file and install with "dpkg -i {package-name}".

I think you can ignore this message.

Make sure that the "xterm" package is installed and that /usr/bin/xterm
has the correct properties:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/xterm
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 363280 2007-06-18 15:53 /usr/bin/xterm

This is harmless as far as I know. It seems that we eliminated the "font
fixed" problem.

This all looks OK to me; the problem seems to be that you are missing
the xterm package. If you want to use a different x-terminal-emulator
then you have to set up your ~/.xinitrc accordingly.

Have a look at the current thread "OT: QEMU Package faster" [1] if you want to
get the best performance using QEMU's "-kernel-kqemu" option.

kqemu is available in Etch. Install kqemu-common and kqemu-modules-2.6-486 (or
whatever matches your kernel). Works fine with Daniel's unofficial QEMU package.

Alternatively, build using the kqemu-source package using module-assistant -
just two commands needed ("m-a prepare" and "m-a a-i kqemu-source").

Hello,

we currently have the following problem...

Background:
Evaluating linux kernels for a series of machines with 16,32 and 128Mb.
On all machines with have tested a linux kernel 2.4.26 (Damm Small Linux
3.1) successfully (including X) with minor problems.
Switching to linux kernel 2.6.18 (Debian stable Etch) shows the same
positive result with the exception described below:

The problem:
Booting a kernel 2.6.18 (actually Debian etch) on the 16Mb machines results
in a not functional keyboard. The following excerpt from the dmesg log shows
that a keyboard is found.

        ...
        [    4.577000] serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
        [    4.580000] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
        [    5.172000] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as
/class/input/input0
        [    5.173000] evbug.c: Connected device: "AT Translated Set 2
keyboard",isa0060/serio0/input0
        ...

The keyboard is fully functional upon entering the GRUB boot loader menu.
At the login prompt the keyboard does not respond /accept any input!

The above mentioned hardware is using the super-IO chip "NSC PC87306".
Booting the kernel with the i8042.debug option shows some activity mainly
in the initialization phase of the keyboard device. Afterwards no actitity
from the debug output is observed.

What has changed since Kernel 2.4 and Kernel 2.6 that has this impact?
If anyeone could give us an advice or hint to solve this problem, it would
helps.


Best regards
Ullrich Schicke
