bcm43xx issues an error message every minute

2007-05-26 Thread Georg Heinrich
Hello,

I get the following error messages about every minute on the console:

bcm43xx: PHY connected
bcm43xx: Microcode bcm43xx_microcode5.fw not available or load failed
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-2)

The HW is:
Apple PowerBook G4 12 (PowerBook 6,8) 1,5 GHz
Airport Extreme, Firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)

What do I have to do to solve the error?
What can I do to stop those error messages showing up every minute until
the error is solved?

Any hint is welcome.
Thanks in advance,

G. Heinrich

Still: AIGLX: Screen 0 not dri capable

2007-05-26 Thread Georg Heinrich
Hello,

I get this error message after startup at the login prompt.

The HW is:
Apple PowerBook G4 12 (PowerBook 6,8) 1,5 GHz
NVidia GeForce FX Go5200

I have already tried
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and disabled either dri or glx or both, to no avail. X just doesn't
start at the login, with various error messages.

I'm so desperate that I even consider to recompile the xserver-xorg
package and configure it without dri. However I didn't figure out how to
do that. I got the source with
apt-get source xserver-xorg
and am stuck here.

How do I configure the build of this module?
Is there any other way of fixing this problem?

I don't need dri, I don't even need glx, I just want to have X running
at the login prompt.
Any hint is welcome.
Thanks in advance,

G. Heinrich

1) Connect to the Internet (via Ethernet or Bluetooth or whatever).
2) Install the bcm43xx-fwcutter pacakge.

Alternately, read the bcm43xx-fwcutter package documentation for
information on how to install the firmware off line.

Thanks for the hint. That did it.
Unfortunately I could not get the fwcutter with apt-get. I needed to download
bcm43xx-fwcutter_006-1_powerpc.deb
instead/
Thanks again,

Sound output on PBs

2007-05-26 Thread Børge Holen
Is it just me or is the audio output on the PB just a poor excuse for gettin 
an external usb soundcard. For certain aint handling any low/high frequezies 
without scrambling it. 
It for sure cant make my 300$ headphones work for the money. I've pretty much 
decided that I would like my PB to grow a pci slot for my live! soundblaster.
I'm using VLC for audioplayback and the equalizer witch follows.

Anyone got some clue on what to put my money on, both small, portable and 
something that I actually can use for audio listening.

Great news !

By the way, are you the new contact person for issues with this buildd?
(in that case, buildd.net should be updated).

Have a nice day,

Regarding hitting the reset button and network/hardware related issues,
yes.  I expect someone else will be taking care of the actual care 
feeding of the buildd process itself.

Thanks,

...depends on dmidecode, unavailable on ppc. Anyone know if it will be
available soon, or if this is bug-worthy? I can just imagine this being
the result of an x86-phile from the Ubuntu camp. .

If you like the sound blaster, I think there is something called the
extigy you might like, and I think Creative Labs also has a Cardbus
sound card.
