Basically something just for quick data entry. Something like a poor man's touch screen? Would something like that save enough power to be worthwhile? John Dunno if the app exists - but the major power drain (assuming you have something like amnhalt or idle or waterfall running) is likely to be the screen backlight when the system is idle.

[LIB] Phantom disks??
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 14:37:39 +0100 (GMT/BST) From: Digby Tarvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Phantom disks?? I am looking for some advice from any Windows experts out there that think they can explain a mysterious phenomenon I am seeing on My Libretto 100CT. I have partitioned my hard disk (IBM 20GB) with 3 primary partitions of about 1.5GB each, and the remainder in a Linux extended partion. My intention was to have the original Toshiba Windows95 in the first partition, BSD Unix in the second (BSD needs a primary partition which it sub-divides into its own partitions), the third partition reserved for any other OS I want to run that needs a primary partition (eg NT, OS-9000) etc. The problem is that when I installed Windows on the first partition, it seemed to think that I had two additional drives (partitions) available. I had expected one additional drive, because partition 3 is currently of type FAT32, but it sees drives C:, D: and E:?? I formatted drive D under Windows, assuming it to be partition 3, and that seemed to work fine. However when I used Linux to copy my old Windows partition from another disk onto /dev/hda3 (third partition) Windows saw the data appear in drive E:, and attempts to boot from the third partion resulted in a message that it was not bootable. I then copied the same image to partition 1 and it booted fine. So Partition E: is what Linux sees and partition 3, but windows FDISK tells me that drive D: is the third partition and makes no mention of a drive E: The final curiosity is that Windows tells me the extended partition is completely empty. If doesn't show the Linux partitions as non-DOS as I would have expected, but appears not to be able to see them at all. I suspect if I asked it to make a logical DOS drive, it would happily do so, overwriting the Linux partitions. Clearly there is some compatibility problem between Windows and Liniux created extended partitions which means that if I wanted a Windows partition, I would have had to have created that first in the extended drive. So the puzzle I have is - why is Windows showing the extra drive, and where abouts on the disk is it??? Is there any way to find out what is happening without destroying some other part of the disk? Any guesses? Here is how Linux sees my partitioning: rover:/home/digbyt/boot # fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 195 1566306b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 196 390 1566306 9f BSD/OS /dev/hda3 390 584 1558336+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda4 * 585 1390 6474195f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 585 601136521 83 Linux /dev/hda6 602 613 96358+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 614 679530113+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 680 941 2104483+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 942 1018618471 83 Linux /dev/hda10 1019 1028 80293+ 2a Unknown /dev/hda11 1029 1290 2104483+ 83 Linux /dev/hda12 1291 1943 5245191 83 Linux /dev/hda13 1944 2431 3919828+ 83 Linux -- Digby R.

Look for HWSetup I neglected to mention that I was able to access the BIOS settings with the Toshiba Windows BIOS app. But I'd never really used it prior to using it to set my power settings the other day. I was wondering if that might have been the source of my 2 problems, not being able to access BIOS at boot, and the power settings in BIOS not sticking. I'm convinced that the problem of settings not sticking was that the Toshiba Power Saver settings where taking precedence over settings made in BIOS at boot. Still not sure what caused be to loose access to BIOS at boot. Raymond... what was the F10 (F11/F12?) process of loading BIOS you were talking about?

Usually seems to show them as empty but won't allow you to erase it on the grounds that it isn't. I've had to use linux fdisk (or friends) to erase an 83 partition before now, and micro~01 is very unhappy about formatting a partition it didn't fdisk (e.g. linux fdisk two partitions, the first one a bootable vfat and the second a linux 83, then ask windows to format the first.

Re: [LIB] Phantom disks??
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 16:05:28 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Phantom disks?? From: Digby Tarvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have partitioned my hard disk (IBM 20GB) with 3 primary partitions of about 1.5GB each, and the remainder in a Linux extended partion.

I had expected one additional drive, because partition 3 is currently of type FAT32, but it sees drives C:, D: and E:?? I had a very similar problem installing Redhat on a friend's system a few years back. Two non-existant partitions suddenly appeared in an existing Win95 single partition setup after installing Redhat, and I forget... it was either impossible to boot Win95, or it took AGES. And nothing could find the partitions that Windows was reporting. It was suggested to do a 'fdisk /mbr' thinking that the partition table had been corrupted. That didn't work. The concensus opinion was that I'd have to delete all partitions and re-install everything. But I had so much invested in the Win95 setup, I didn't want to take the time to do that. I figured out a workaround for the problem that worked well. I used Partition Magic to create 2 extra tiny logical partitions on the Windows primary, and hid the rest. I was able to reinstall Redhat and System Commander after that to manage booting OSs, and Win95 and Redhat lived happily with each other after that. Perhaps lilo or another Linux bootloader will work for you. But I'm assuming you made sure that you set those other non-Windows partitions to 'hidden' before you installed Windows on the first partition, right? Or are Linux partitions supposed to be invisable to Windows? I suspect that it was the Redhat installation that caused Windows to see two extra partitions, as Win95 had not seen them before.

I was writing about the Libretto 70 built-in sound. I always use that although I have gotten a 16 bit pcmicia IBM sound card to work by disabling the built-in sound. I only did it out of curiousity though and never use it. Shucks... thought I'd finally found someone actually recording these days with such a card ... :-( I'm still hoping to pin down just what's causing that modem problem. I've boiled it down to a conflict between its drivers, the Toshiba Power Saver driver for the L70, and the L70. No problem on the L50. Have you tried removing the Toshiba power saver? Well, I want the power saver. But no one seemed to know how to uninstall it after it's installed, even if I did want to remove it. Ran into a problem setting up RoadRunner the other day because its installer wanted the system to boot with the combo modem card inserted ND a cable connected to the RoadRunner modem. Had to create another Win98 partition WITHOUT the Toshiba Power Saver drivers installed in order to have the 70CT boot with the card in. But it does work that way at least.

Has anyone tried replacing it with a thin film diffuser to add brightness? MM claimed 65% gain in brightness but the diffuser is probably cutting at least 40% of the light from the backlight. Thin films let almost all the light through. Plus adding the brightness films should really make it bright. Also has anyone tried making the screen a transflective one and adding a switch to shut off the backlight in full sunlight? I know some pdas use reflective color screens to do this and they are very visible in full sunlight. I have some transflective films used for mono displays. Will they affect the color? As you can tell I know little about color lcds but would love to be able to use the libretto in full sunlight. Any advice is welcome.

[LIB] 70CT verses 100CT

Basically I am thinking of selling it as spare parts and getting a 100 or 110CT. I was wondering- what are the main differances besides the 70 and 100/110 besides things like the cardbus enabled pcmcia, larger screen, more memory and faster microprocessor? Like- what are the differances between the power supplies used by each? I saw from the specs they use the same voltage and current but do the have differant jacks and/or polarity? Does the 100/110 use the same floppy drive as the 70? I understand either the 100 or the 110 has a 8 mm hard drive which is it and can a 9.5 mm hard drive be made to fit? Will the port expander work from the 70 to 100/110? Basically I'm thinking of getting a barebones 100/100CT and using everything from my 70CT. Thanks in advance...

So the puzzle I have is - why is Windows showing the extra drive, and

If you've got PM you might want to play with it there ... otherwise if its
only annoying you (and not causing any other problems) just hide it using
TweakUI.
When this happened to me, PM didn't see those two 'phantom' partitions that
Windows was reporting it saw. An example of PM doesn't always know what's
going on with Linux I guess. Your experience creating Linux partitions with
PM that showed up look like a DOS partition in Linux is another example.
As I wrote, I ended up just MAKING two tiny logical drives on the Windows
primary. Windows recognized them, and I was able to write data to and from
both in Windows (as well as in Linux as I recall).
Of course I had an big investment in the time I had put into setting up a
lot of software on the Win95 partition. If you've just begun setting up
your OSs, you might just want to scrap everything and start over.
I'd start by making one primary partition for Windows, and installing it.
Then use PM to hide it, create a small partition to start your Linux
installation, and go from there.

Matt Thanks. Those messages didn't show up when I did a google search. I like it. The thing to do is make the lcd reflective though in my opinion and come up with a way of being able to turn the backlight when it isn't needed. That way it can be used in full sunlight plus save power. The color of a elctroluminesant backlight (which is what they were talking about) isn't pure enough to keep the LCD's good color plus they are bulky and need really high voltages. There are two ways of doing this that I know of. Either add a reflective layer onto the back of the LCD so it will reflect part of the ambient light and also transmit the backlight when needed. I don't know what's availible for color screens though- basically you need something that won't mess up the color. The 3M RDF-C reflective is pretty good on mono displays and might work. Then the backlighting wouldn't have to be changed except to be able to turn it off. Or a person could pull out the FL backlight and add something like a series of white LEDs using a fiber optic backlighting panel. The fiber optic panel will work as a reflective surface so a reflective film isn't needed and will turn the transmissive display into a reflective one (at least according to claims made by a manufacturerers rep) http://www.poly- optical.com/ProductApplications/H2.HTM. I would think if about 5 high brightness white leds would be equivant brightness to the FL.

However I see from my program dump above that this has resulted in the extended partition nominally finishing at the 8GB boundry. Linux seems to have happily ignored that, presumably it uses the linear addresses and ignores the head/cylinder/sector stuff which is invalid after 8GB :-/ I wonder if there's any relevance in the fact that you have the extended partition set as bootable/active? Windows is unhappy about anything other than the first partition set as bootable, maybe changing that will alter things? No - that is not it. The 'BOOTANY' boot manager I am using always leaves the partition you booted from marked as active. So had I booted Windows, the windows partition would have been active. One thing I did find with more experimenting, is that if I remove the second FAT partition, both D: and E: disappear. So I am wondering if Windows just doesn't like two primary FAT partitions.
