[arch-general] APM gets re-enabled after awake from suspend

2009-11-03 Thread Karol Babioch
Hi,

my hard drive suffers from the clicking problem, therefore I
deactivated the APM (Advanced Power Management) totally.

I'm doing this using hdparm in the /etc/rc.local, making sure that it
gets executed every time I boot up my machine.

However I noticed that the APM gets re-enabled after I wake my machine
up from Suspend-to-RAM, which makes the hard drive clicking again.

I'm now wondering whether this is normal? I guess so, as the hard
drive gets disabled during the suspend, and after a wake-up it gets
re-enabled, so any changed made with hdparm don't get stored. Is this
intention right?

Secondly I want to know what would be the right file (place) to fix
this. I'll have to execute the hdparm command again, but don't quite
know where to put it, or at least where it should be put ;).

I don't know what you think, but I don't get the part where the nvidia

plan to fix it, but don't really know if they plan to fix it.


So basically, you're screwed unless you plan on buying a GeForce 6 or newer.

Maybe a good time to try the nouveau driver?

I don't have a system with an Nvidia vga currently, but from waht i hear

[arch-general] Mayday - Installed Fresh Archlinux on Laptop - Resolution stuck 1152x864, need 1440x900??

2009-11-03 Thread David C. Rankin
Listmates,

New drive for my laptop so I dedicated it to Arch. Net install with 2009.08 
went fine (although there really should be a warning when you leave install 
WITHOUT configuring the bootloader). [the /arch/setup menu autoadvances when 
you leave Configure System and if you click Done and downarrow anticipating 
moving to the next item,  you can easily miss configuring the bootloader (I did 
;-)]

The problem I have is that my laptop is stuck in 1152x864 resolution. For the 
text install that is fantastic, but when you start kde -- not so good. (should 
be 1440x900) The card is an RS690M (radeon 1200) and the radeon driver was 
loaded by default. The modules configured are:

22:46 alchemy:~ lsmod | grep rad
radeon716352  1
ttm43776  1 radeon
drm   191392  2 radeon,ttm
i2c_algo_bit6980  1 radeon
i2c_core   25664  4 radeon,i2c_piix4,drm,i2c_algo_bit

THE WEIRD PART...

I have Arch on the drive I just took out and it goes to 1440x900 just fine.

I am not using an xorg.conf, so I am pretty much at X's mercy. I use 
/etc/rc.d/kdm start from runlevel 3 to start kdm. It goes to 1152x864 instead 
of 1440x900. I don't understand how to control the new KMS stuff. I have check 
the kde4 settings for Display Size and Orientations, but the maximum allowed is 
1152x864:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/kde4-syssettings-display.jpg

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/kde4-syssettings-1164.png

What is the trick?

Also, when I try to start xdm from inittab with the default 
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
I get the disabling for 5 seconds, respawning too fast error. So, what's the 
trick here? I bet there related...

I have put the Xorg.0.log on the server as well:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/Xorg.0.log

It looks like the dang thing is using the vesa driver?? I'll add radeon to 
modules, but It's loaded already so I don't think that's going to help. Anybody 
know what's happening here? This is the first install where I haven't installed 
KDE3, so i don't know if that is a part of the issue either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need to see anything else, just 
let me know.  Thanks.
