The secret turns out to be to avoid using the gnome control center to
turn on dpms, and instead directly use the "xset dpms" command.
xset dpms 240 0 0
The above command tells the X server to put the display into standby
mode after 240 seconds (4 minutes), but not attempt to either suspend
it or turn it off, the latter being the option that was previously
putting the laptop into an unrecoverable state. On the Viao laptop,
the standby mode actually appears to turn off the backlight and the
video, so the standby option is fortunately the only option that I
need. This seems to work without any other work under Mandrake, but to
get it working under RedHat 7.0, you first have to enable DPMS by
editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and adding:
Option "DPMS"
in the monitor configuration, then restart the X server. Thanks to the
person who posted this a few days ago on this group.

Subject: Question on LILO and recompiling your Kernel
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 14:01:29 -0600
Howdy,
I had a couple questions. First of all, I was trying to recompile my
kernel last night. I went through all of the steps, like 'make dep', 'make
clean', etc. and got a new bzImage that I copied into my /boot directory as
zipkern. I then went into my lilo.conf file and added a new image section,
and I added the following:
image = /boot/zipkern
root = /dev/hda3
label = LinTest
After this I typed "lilo" at the command prompt and it said it added the new
entry. Great. So I reboot, and when I get to the LILO prompt, it doesn't
display my new image label, just the same old stuff as usual. I logged in as
normal and checked the lilo.conf file. It still had my changes in it. Did I
skip a step or something in adding the lilo information? My machine is
Dual-Booting Windows 2k, and the Windows bootloader is the first one that
pops up when I turn my machine on; from there I choose my linux OS and THEN
I get LILO. Does this have something to do with it? Because LILO is not the
primary booting utility? Why is it telling me it added the new information
from the config file when its not reflecting it at bootup?
My second question - when recompiling my kernel, it doesn't matter WHERE
I compile from does it? As long as I put the resulting image in the /boot
directory and make sure I point to it in the boot config file right? After I
couldn't get LILO working last night, I backed up one of my working kernels,
and renamed the new one (zipkern) to the name of the default one (vmlinuz).
I rebooted, and as soon as it started loading linux it told me that it ran
out of system resources and halted the system. OOPS! Now, does this mean
that my new kernel is just bad, or is it because I cheated and tried
renaming the default one? Am I not allowed to do that? ANY information on
either of these problems would be appreciated. Thanks!
For reference, my machine is a P2 450 w/ 128 MB of RAM. It dual-boots
between Win2k and SuSE 6.4. The windows booting utility is the first one to
come up at bootup (if that makes any difference).

Just finished doing a pristine install of RH7.0.
[dual Celeron 366a on (gasp) Bp6 MB, 256MB RAM, SCSI, IDE disks,
SCSI CDROM, 2 SCSI DLT tape drives, 3com 3c900 ethernet]

It finds ifdown OK though.????
I checked that in the network script file that it chages to the correct
directory.
** if I put in /sbin/ifup directly into the script, it then complains
that other files networf-functions, etc cannot be found, though
they are clearly there.
I am at my wits end. if you have any suggestions, they would be most
appreciated.

I'm not sure but your problems could be caused by the subject of your
second question. When you recomplie the kernal you need to be in
/usr/src/linux more specifically you ned to be in the linux directory
created when the tar file is unpacked. When you get the tar.gz file that
contains the new kernal be sure to unpack it in /usr/src after you have
removed the previous linux directory from /usr/src. After you unpack the
file go into the linux directory and the recompile the kernal.

What ftp server did you install? You should at least make
sure you install the updated version of wu-ftp. Next check
your /etc/xinetd.d directory. You should have a wu-ftp entry
the contents of which should be something like:
# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
}

Looking at the failed line, U'll see that the script is setup to
be called from the /sbin directory ( the ./ifup bit). Therefore
you need to called /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script from the
/sbin directory or else hardcode all the directories in the
script.

It's reasonable to pay for any service someone provides to you. Including
helping you upgrade your kernel. The fact that people are willing to help
you for free sometimes does not give you the right to demand that they do
so whenever you want them to.

All the information you need to compile your kernel is right there in the
source tree. If you need an additional document to help you understand it,
hire an expert to write the document for you[1]. You can then release the
document under a free license: that can be your contribution to free
software.
[1] I am not being sarcastic, either. If you don't understand, go to
www.gnu.org and read some philosophy.

You can even make such a "full" installation in a few megabytes.
With X it takes about 16MB, without, about 8MB. (hint, the machine from
which I am writing this has a 70MB disk ... and it's running X, has
lots of compilers, and so on ...).
If you want to get lean and mean, you can cut down to about 3MB
and get the whole thing on a floppy. Here's some du output for an 8MB
install. You could lose another half meg just by looking at the
listing.

I believe you're talking about the old "IBM" font. A copy of it used to
come with dosemu or rxvt - I don't recall which.

No, it doesn't have to be in /usr/src. In fact, the 2.4.* README exhorts:
: - If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a
: directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and
: unpack it:
:
: gzip -cd linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
:
: Replace "XX" with the version number of the latest kernel.
:
: Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually
: incomplete) set of kernel headers that are used by the library header
: files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by
: whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be.
(This library-header-file business applies only if /usr/include/{linux,asm}
are symbolic links into the /usr/src/linux tree. Some distributions--e.g.,
Debian--don't use the symbolic-link approach, and thus can ignore the
README's advice.)

Hmm.

Did you not (re)run lilo?
When you run the lilo program, it figures out physically where (on the disk)
the bootable kernels live, and writes that information to the boot record.
When you boot up, the code in the boot record knows only about physical
locations on the disk, not about the filesystem. (I have heard that the
GRUB loader is different, though.)
If you didn't run lilo, then the boot code is pointing at a place on the
disk that _used_ to be the bootable kernel. If that place has been
overwritten, then you are trying to boot garbage.
