I've had something similar, where DPMS would work initially, and switch the screen off after the configured timeout, then switch on again for no apparent reason after a few minutes and stay on. What I could find out is that xorg connects to the ACPI daemon and interprets LID events. In my case (Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop) there are spurious LID events, e.g. sometimes three closes in a row.

The original subject was wlan0 is ssslw [99% SOLVED] because pinging the Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router worked from Windows but not from Linux. The answer is: because Windows sends ICMP messages with 32 bytes of data, Linux sends them with 56 bytes of data. Moreover, Linux IP datagrams have the DF (don't fragment) bit set, Windows ones have not. On Linux, ping -s 15 192.168.2.2 works. I'm very glad you did post this update as here in the office we had this very problem three weeks ago. One morning every non-Windows host in our building suddenly could not see past the gateway, could not ping it and was essentially off-air.

So if you were compiling this stuff all into the kernel (I guess it was like this before, i.e. w/ the 15sec delay), you would definately create a driver collision which potentially could lead to a race condition. But I guess you didn't expect that to happen: It sounds as if you were assuming that CONFIG_ATA_PIIX only configures SATA support. But since 2.6.19, there's a #define ATA_ENABLE_PATA in include/linux/libata.h. That leads to PIIX PATA support via the *same* ata_piix driver/module that is used for SATA support. In other words: PATA PIIX built-in it was two times with the old statically compiled version, once via old IDE layer, once via libata. SATA PIIX as module that's only libata, so no problems with those devices. No delay. /dev/sda continues to be /dev/sda. Same for /dev/hda But you need an initrd. Currently it's still experimental, but I would suggest at least trying to use libata for all devices. You won't be able to use the old IDE devices anymore in that case, so make sure that you have SCSI CDROM and SCSI generic support in order to make use of your DVD drive. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, as Iain answered, if your modem support it, u can read CID from it. Just connect to modem from minicom and RTFM modem's manual. The easyiest solution is to buy a specialized box (I bough it for ~10 EUR). Asterisk can log CID 4u, and/or forward incoming calls to a VoIP phone, but u'll need a special * compatible card, e.g. Digium X100P (obsolete/ sometimes still available on eBay) or another modem card based on MD3200 Cirrus Logic/Ambient chipset, intel 537PG or 537PU chipsets, but keep away from 537EP, which is unsupported. noro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: wlan0 is sssloooow [100% SOLVED]
Mick: On Monday 11 December 2006 20:56, Sergio Polini wrote: Yes, it was OT and very few of you are interested ;-) However, somebody would like to know who the killer was. The original subject was wlan0 is ssslw [99% SOLVED] because pinging the Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router worked from Windows but not from Linux. The answer is: because Windows sends ICMP messages with 32 bytes of data, Linux sends them with 56 bytes of data. Moreover, Linux IP datagrams have the DF (don't fragment) bit set, Windows ones have not. On Linux, ping -s 15 192.168.2.2 works. How did you ever find this out?! I used two tools: Douglas Comer, Internetworking with TCP/IP, and Wireshark (former ethereal). I'm still installing my new laptop, f.i., I've not yet setup a firewall. My former firewall was based on the Iptables Tutorial by Oskar Andreasson, but I didn't understand all the details. So I've started studying, i.e. reading Comer and looking at frames, datagrams, etc. by Wireshark. I needed that. For example, I had used nmap to look for an echo port on the Belkin router, but ping, i.e. ICMP, doesn't know anything about ports! As to the ping problem, I started a Windows virtual machine by VMware Player, then Wireshark both in the Linux real machine and in the virtual one, then pinged the Belkin router. Looking at the output produced by the Linux Wireshark and by the virtual Windows one, there were just two differences: the DF bit, and the data field length in the ICMP messages. I'll know that's another thing to test when an access point is playing up. I wonder why belkin is set up this way. I think that a router should send ICMP messages such as fragmentation needed and DF set (Type 3, , Code 4) and time to live exceeded in transit (Type 11, , Code 0), but Belkin does not (traceroute, and tracert, 192.168.2.1 print stars). The Belkin 54G wireless router, F5D7130, had serious security holes: http://www.governmentsecurity.org/archive/t15618.html My model, F5D7230, is more secure. Eventually too much ;-) Thanks for sharing. :-) Alan McKinnon: I'm very glad you did post this update as here in the office we had this very problem three weeks ago. One morning every non-Windows host in our building suddenly could not see past the gateway, could not ping it and was essentially off-air. We eventually tracked it down to one of these Belkin wireless routers, but never figured out why it was doing what it did. Now we do know, so thanks for the heads-up! I must thank all of you.

[gentoo-user] OT - Need more help with Asterisk
Can anyone give me a simple easy-to-understand place to start for setting up Asterisk? All I want it for is for Caller ID and to drop calls from certain phone numbers. I have a US Robots data/fax modem. Asterisk is running (as evidenced by ps ax) and the phone line is plugged into the computer. I know this is correct because I can dial out with kppp. Someone suggested that I look at my modem's manual for how to do this; my modem did not come with a manual, and I am not at all hardware-savvy. Others have written back and suggested alternate hardware. My wife and I have $25.00USD to last us the rest of the month, It's like this every month, so I can't exactly buy new hardware. I have to work with what we have. I called our home number (the number whose phone line is plugged into my computer) from my cell phone while sitting at the asterisk CLI command console. I heard the phone ring on the other extension, so I typed 'answer'. Asterisk came back with No one is calling us Meanwhile the phone was still ringing. I've googled for asterisk tutorials, but I can't seem to find anything that's basic enough for me to understand. Please help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It's really pretty unusual to make avis that large. Are you using XviD? There is a maximum quality you can achieve with each codec. With 4.7 GB target size, you could as well use MPEG2. Or try h264 (wild guess, but this is the codec with the best quality in linuxland atm). Thanks Thomas, Yes, I am using xvid which is using the h263 quantization method by default. Should I choose mpeg instead of h263? Without going into too much detail, that's something different. XviD is a dialect of MPEG-4. H.264 is a different, newer standard. MPEG-2 is yet another standard used on DVD's (=ooold ;-)). Hardware players can do MPEG-2, some can do DivX/some parts of MPEG-4 and XviD if you are careful not to enable the advanced coding options. I know of none doing H.264. Then there are containers: mp2 (only mpeg2), mp4 (only mpeg4), avi (anything, but limited), ogg (anything), mkv (anything and more, not in DVD::Rip last time I checked). If you don't care about HW players, you might find ogg a better container format then avi (uses less space, audio/video don't get out of sync as easily, multiple Audio tracks/subtitels supported...). Hm, or stay with avi, I don't want to confuse you. All of this is a bit of voodoo. :) xvid is the default codec selection. I can't find h264 in the transcode options. ffmpeg does, it's a library providing different codecs. Regards, T. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've seen references to Etherape, which does pretty much what you describe. I can't speak for its usefulness in a production environment, being the merest dilletante ;) I run Etherape here. It is an interesting program to watch, especially when you connect to very popular torrents. Now I run this on my home router, which is not a very powerful machine. Over the course of several days, the application slows down to the point that it's taking up quite a lot of CPU time and I have to kill X from a ssh session. The author swears there are no memory leaks, but on my system, Etherape has a few problems when left up for several days. My router runs Debian though (because it's an old machine). http://quag7.dynip.com:8063/wwwswamp/2005-Jul-18__02.28AM_Debian_Linux--Kernel_v2.6.9.20050505c-.jpg Note the CPU meter on the top - it's the blue one on the left in the system monitor. Nothing else of any consequence is running, so all of that load is from that version of Etherape. Maybe it's been patched since then? I was connected to a p2p network of some sort on another system at the time, which is why it is so chaotic. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

On page 79 it lists some stuff to add to /etc/zaptel.conf (I emerged zaptel): The zaptel.conf file located in /etc/ is used to configure your hardware. The following minimal configuration defines an FXO port with FXS signaling: fxsks=2 loadzone=us defaultzone=us After configuring zaptel.conf, you can load the drivers for the card. modprobe is used to load modules for use by the Linux kernel. For example, to load the wctdm driver, you would run: # modprobe wctdm If the drivers load without any output, they have loaded successfully.* You can verify that the hardware and ports were loaded and configured correctly with the use of the ztcfg program: # /sbin/ztcfg –vv The channels that are configured and the signaling method being used will be dis- played. For example, a TDM400P with one FXO module has the following output: Zaptel Configuration == Channel map: Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02) 1 channels configured. If you receive the following error, you have configured the channel for the wrong sig-naling method: ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: Invalid argument (22) Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO signalling and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling? However, I get this: camille ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv Zaptel Configuration == Channel map: Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02) 1 channels configured.

So did you set ao=alsa in /etc/mlayer.conf (~/.mplayer/config should work too)? No, I uncommented ao=sdl:esd. So now I've set ao=alsa and that's a definite improvement. Both gui and command line work OK. Thanks Bo. I note the mplayer man page is 6700 lines long.
