 hi
   I have a question about my computer
  My moniter says Out of scan range  and its not working.
 Do you have any ideas how to fix it?
  If you have any ideas let me know.

You most probably need to explicitly write down the Hsync/VSync ranges
in your xorg.conf file.

For example, something like this:

Section Monitor
Identifier  LCD Display
HorizSync   25-80
VertRefresh 56-75
EndSection

You need to look up the correct values for horizontal sync and
vertical refresh rate of your monitor.

In addition, you may need to generate specific ModeLines for the
graphical modes you wish to use.  You can do this with 'gtf'.  You
just need to add the output of this program in your xorg.conf.
So you would end up with something like this:

Section Monitor
Identifier  LCD Display
HorizSync   25-80
VertRefresh 56-75
# 1280x1024 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.62 kHz; pclk: 
128.94 MHz
Modeline1280x1024_70.00   128.94  1280  1368  1504  1728  
1024  1025  1028  1066  -HSync  +Vsync
EndSection

Then, in the Screen section, you need to add this mode.  For example
like this:

Section Screen
...
SubSection Display
Depth   24
Modes   1280x1024_70.00
EndSubSection
EndSection


Good luck,

Ruben

Re: How to debug kernel Oops

 How to find the problem and solve it ?

Part 1:

Disassemble the ieee80211_master_star_xmit function (locate the start
address in the module from the symbol table, and use objdump -d), and
compare with the C code. That should tell you what NULL pointer you need
to deal with here.

Part 2: figure out how a NULL pointer got passed in the first place.

 Subject: linux-2.6: snd-powermac should depend on i2c-powermac

 Package: linux-2.6
 Followup-For: Bug #356933

 I also experienced the modprobe segfault and kernel Oops reported in bug
 356933.

 The upstream changelog for 2.6.16 mentions changes to snd-powermac due to
 the replacement of i2c-keywest with i2c-powermac. i2c-powermac was not
 loaded on my system after an upgrade to 2.6.16, but adding it to
 /etc/modules and rebooting caused snd-powermac to work correctly.
 I no longer have an i2c-keywest module.

This was discussed recently on debian-powerpc. A simple workaround is to
add a module alias i2c-keywest for i2c-powermac.

 snd_pmac_tumbler_init() in sound/ppc/tumbler.c contains:

 #ifdef CONFIG_KMOD
   if (current-fs-root)
   request_module(i2c-keywest);
 #endif /* CONFIG_KMOD */

 which presumably at least needs to be amended to i2c-powermac. A hard
 dependency or a more graceful failure mode would seem to be a better solution,
 though.

The fix is correct; the same patch needs to be applied to
sound/ppc/dacas.c and at least one file in the old OSS dmasound_pmac
driver.

d-i daily build fails when building initrd (PowerMac7,3)

2006-03-26 Thread Shyamal Prasad

Hi folks,

I've been away from my computer for a few months, but decided to give
the latest d-i netinstall daily build a spin today (March 26).

Besides the obvious known problem (default mirror) I find that a
powerpc64 install on a PowerMac7,3 (Dual 2Ghz G5) fails when trying to
install the kernel. Here is the tail end from the syslog

Mar 26 19:22:08 base-installer: info: Found kernels

Also, when looking at the target disk it is clear that yaird is simply
missing (which I'm assuming is the root cause...)

~$ ls /mnt/chroot/usr/sbin/y* /mnt/chroot/usr/sbin/mki*
ls: /mnt/chroot/usr/sbin/mki*: No such file or directory
/mnt/chroot/usr/sbin/yabootconfig  /mnt/chroot/usr/sbin/ybin


I looked in the installation reports and the errata and did not see
this reported except for the cryptic errata saying  [21 Mar 06] Base
installation will fail because of a script error. 

Since I've been away since December I thought I'd ask before filing a
new bug: is this new/unknown? Or is it just me? Should I file an
installation/bug report?

Thanks,

 You just need to enable support for cpu frequency scaling and then

Thanks for the pointer, this is exactly the behaviour I was looking for.

  be done. TV out probably doesn't work.

 I have 3d acceleration working.  I tested this with crack-attack and
 chromium.  I did however download the mesa package source and enable
 the r300 driver.  The r300 driver is actually included in the source,
 but not built by default (IIRC). It should be included in xorg7.0
 though, which should hit unstable soon.

 Ok, I just checked that. I compiled mesa 6.3.2 myself and enabled the
 driver in that package, but I have mesa 6.4.1 installed from unstable
 now and this one contains the r300 driver. The exact package is
 libgl1-mesa-dri.

That works (tested with 3ddesktop), although libgl1-mesa-dri conflicts
with xlibmesa-dri which eventually removes libqt4-dev, which I sort of
need. Compiling Qt 4 from source works, so I'll just use that for now.

 Last week, I also hooked up an external monitor and that also worked
 just fine with MergedFB.  I could use it like a xinerama screen.  I
 didn't try clone mode and I also never tried to connect it to a tv.

At some point I would like to get clone mode working with overhead
projectors.  Are ati and radeon the same driver? My xorg.conf has
ati, but the relevant documentation seems to be 'man radeon', which
calls the driver radeon.

problem with apple airport card in managed mode

2006-03-26 Thread Wojciech Owczarek
Hello list,

I've posted about my issues before, but got no replies, so I'm trying
again. I run  linux on my powerbook g3/firewire (Pismo), and I simply
can't get my airport (classic) card to work in managed mode. 
It keeps losing the AP. When I watch iwconfig, I see it associate with
the ap, and after a while AP is seen as 44:44:44:44:44 - the default
when no AP.
Also, setting essid to 'any' makes it see the AP, but just for a
second or so, and it doesn't change the essid to an available one,
essid remains unset. I can see it associate only when I explicitly set
the essid from the list that iwlist scan shows me. Even then, and during
the rare moment when the card is associated, no application that
monitors wlan signal shows that fact (I mean panel applets in various
WMs, and such - nothing is shown). I have currently no possibility to
check it under mac os. This is not related with wep encryption.
Reported firmware version is lucent/agere 8.70. I wonder if
this is a matter of channelset for some other country - but from what I
see on a white sticker on the card, it came from Holland. I live in
Europe also, Poland. 
The funniest thing is that the card works perfectly in ad-hoc
mode. I know orinoco doesn't support the short preamble mode, but when
I disable it on the AP - set it to long or auto - my airport still
doesn't work.
Do you think that trying to run it under OSX would help?
Is my firmware the latest version? Maybe it's a matter of some settings,
kernel parameters etc? Could it be a problem with my powerbook's
firmware? When I first got it it had mac os 9 installed.
Or maybe my card is simply broken? I guess it's not since the
card gets detected every time and works in ad-hoc mode.

please help, my card card the way it acts now is pretty much unusable
for me outside my home. And classic airport cards get expensive these
days.

No, this is a result of the daily powerpc builds and thus the daily CD 
builds failing [1]. Because of this the latest netinst CD available has a 
broken version of base-installer. This _is_ the error that you noticed 
listed on the DebianInstaller/Today wiki page and which has long been 
fixed.

There is no problem with initramfs-tools, just a problem with the 
maintainer of the ppc port who is too quick to jump to conclusions again.

Since the debian-installer team clearly stated that debian would be better off
without me, and that i was not irreplacable, i am now very curious who you are
speaking about :)

I have not yet disabled the powerpc daily-builds, but there are enough people
who received a pegasos machine donated, including members of the

Re: Boot Mac 5500/225 in Linux

this mac is old enough that it could be booted

they will run off these.

thus giving a toehold for bootx to boot off

  A) Install MacOS from CD (that CD can obviously

  B) Install Debian from floppies.
 
 To clarify, do A or B.

Re: problem with apple airport card in managed mode

2006-03-26 Thread Benjamin Herrenschmidt

 please help, my card card the way it acts now is pretty much unusable
 for me outside my home. And classic airport cards get expensive these
 days.

Works fine for me with a french card and firmware 8.40 ... have you
tried tweaking your AP settings ? it might be where the problem lies ...

Ben

Re: Install Sarge on an embedded PowerPC

 Hello all

 I've got myself an embedded powerpc platform (kurobox) and I'd like to 
 install Sarge on it. My problem is - the board doesn't boot from CD, the 
 bootloader is proprietary and I cannot load initrd... So, AFAIU, I cannot 
 use any of the standard installation methods. I did built a 
 cross-toolchain for it, compile a custom kernel 2.6.15.6, I can boot with 
 NFS-root, so, I just need an installation root, and then I could install 
 the rest over the internet. The problem is, all boot images I tried so 
 far, that come with various install CDs, etc., are compressed, so, I 
 cannot loopback-mount them. So, my question is - how can I install Sarge 
 on the board?

Is debootstrap an alternative?

Jörg.

 hi

 i have not yet done kernel build in testing/Debian,
 but am thinking / studying possibility.

 i see in your configs several references to older
 machines i have experience with - like
 1996-97 models. i think you might clean
 this stuff out. references to 6xx means
 G1/G2 for example, absolete work arounds sounds
 like. also CHP6550 refers to video card in PB3400...


6xx is correct.
CONFIG_6xx=y means for 6xx/7xx/74xx

File arch/powerpc/Kconfig, line 92:
menu Processor support

help
  There are four families of PowerPC chips supported.  The more common
  types (601, 603, 604, 740, 750, 7400), the Motorola embedded
  versions (821, 823, 850, 855, 860, 52xx, 82xx, 83xx), the AMCC
  embedded versions (403 and 405) and the high end 64 bit Power
  processors (POWER 3, POWER4, and IBM PPC970 also known as G5).

  Unless you are building a kernel for one of the embedded processor
  systems, 64 bit IBM RS/6000 or an Apple G5, choose 6xx.
  Note that the kernel runs in 32-bit mode even on 64-bit chips.

 probably more there...

  When I close my led, it goes into sleep but without

  This will occur when I  try 2.6.16 with or without
  bcm4306 modules.
  So I think that problem is not because I do not have
  remove modules
  before I close the led.
 
  Could you provide me that your config file and
  vmlinux??
  I would like to try what's going on.
 
  Thanks.
