Re: APM: disable mouse interrupt?
What!? And here I thought I was at the height of fashion with my brand new PS/2 mouse. (The hell is a PS/2, anyway?). Anyway, eventually I'll figure out how to dispense with the mouse entirely and throw it happily out the window into the lane. Lots of good things to be found in that lane. -chris On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Nate Amsden wrote: > maybe time to switch to a USB or serial mouse :) > > or find a MB that supports that ...it may be worth emailing the company > that makes the MB(provided its not a real old one) and askin them about > that .. > > nate

maybe time to switch to a USB or serial mouse :) or find a MB that supports that ...it may be worth emailing the company that makes the MB(provided its not a real old one) and askin them about that .. nate Krzys Majewski wrote: > > Sadly, interrupt 12 is not listed in the power management section of > the BIOS setup.

Re: APM: disable mouse interrupt?
Sadly, interrupt 12 is not listed in the power management section of the BIOS setup. It goes, perversely, something like this: Interrupt 3 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 4 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 5 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 6 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 7 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 8 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 9 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 10 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 11 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 13 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 14 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Interrupt 15 [Primary Secondary Disabled] Bummer. -chris > > but no go.

Try disabling that. /dev/mouse indicates that you're providing your mouse to X via gpm, so you'd have to check your gpm config to see what it thinks is your mouse (see /etc/gpm.conf). Having your modem on ttyS1 probably means nothing. -- Don't make Godzilla mad! pgplYlC2uuMFn.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: APM Disable
my monitor shots off (led in front stays on, but no scan lines show up even at maximum brightness) in console mode after a few minuntes. xwindows ain't even running. before running into debian i'd tried freebsd, and their default install had a neat set of screensavers in console mode that switched to some kind of graphic mode, for traveling star fields & so forth, without xwindows running anywhere. some may not like the screen blanking, or want to change the parameters; i like it because linux sits in my basement serving and listening and logging while i do my work via telnet from upstairs. on my setup i think the poweroff feature is in bios... unless the console mode (no xwindows) has a screensaver option? -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Their is five errers in this sentance.

How do I see if thats the case. Try "xset -q" which will display the current X settings. Look in that list to see if DPMS (Energy Star stuff) is enabled or disabled. Also look in that list to see if the Screen Saver's "prefer blanking" is "yes" or "no". To turn off DPMS, "xset -dpms". To turn off screen saver, "xset s off". Or at least that's what I understand from briefly looking at "man xset" and the result of "xset". > > -Original Message- > From: Adam Shand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 19, 2000 1:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Jay Kelly; debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: APM Disable > > > According to the only package I found on Debian's site concerning APM > > (apmd): The Debian default kernel does *not* contain APM support, > > because it causes problems on some computers. > > as of a few kernels ago in potato (at least a few months ago but i can't > remember when) apm support *is* enabled but you have to turn it on with an > option in your lilo.conf. i know this works cause i use it all the time on > my laptop. to get apm add this to your lilo.conf (run lilo) and reboot: > > append="apm=on" > > > I don't remember how to change the screen saver settings, but a quick > > search of the Debian Mail archives should turn up something for you, as > > that's discussed fairly regularly on this list. > > check out the command xset. i believe that is what you want. > > adam. > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > /dev/null > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
RE: APM Disable
It look like the monitor doesnt shutoff, the led on the front of the monitor doesnt even change. I think whats happening is maybe a screen saver that black is coming on.

So unless you've recompiled your kernel for APM, it's probably only a screen saver blanker instead of APM, or it's built into the monitor itself and is perhaps activated after the screen saver kicks in. Does the monitor's power light go off or start flashing, or does the screen just go blank? I don't remember how to change the screen saver settings, but a quick search of the Debian Mail archives should turn up something for you, as that's discussed fairly regularly on this list.
Re: APM Disable
Hoi Jay! Jay> After a few minutes my monitors shut due to APM. Where do I Jay> shutoff APM? I checked the bios and didnt see anything dor the Jay> monitor. Any sugestion would be great How about setting your monitor's turn off time? Under X xset, under console setterm can do the job for you. For ex: xset dpms 120 120 16200 Blanks the screen after 2 minutes, and turns off the monitor after 16200/60 = 27 minutes. (You might insert that line into your .xinitrc.) With setterm, look for the -powersave switch in the manual! -- ignotus "Never make any mistaeks." -- Anonymous, in a mail discussion about to a kernel bug report
