Re: 2.6.11.x: bootprompt: ALSA: no soundcard detected

2005-04-12 Thread Dennis Heuer
It's definetly ACPI! I played around with ACPI options in the BIOS and got my 
card working again. However, now reiserfs sometimes hangs and remembers this 
state so that I must check it from a live-cd. Linux 2.6 is definetly more 
sensible than 2.4.

Dennis

2005-04-10 Thread Dennis Heuer
Aehhm, you are completely on the wrong track! I installed 2.6.11.7 the same way 
I installed 2.6.11, with sound support statically included, but, though it 
worked fine without ACPI under 2.6.11, the same configuration under 2.6.11.7 
does not work. There was no change in practise, only a change in behaviour.
Dennis

That means you didn't load the correct module for your soundcard.

2.6.11.x: bootprompt: ALSA: no soundcard detected

2005-04-10 Thread Dennis Heuer
Hello,
I switched from 2.4 to 2.6.11 and found that the hard power-down now definetly 
needs ACPI, which stopped my soundplayer life from playing (stucking display 
and no sound), though. I installed 2.6.11.4, 2.6.11.5, and 2.6.11.7 but all 
three broke the hardware detection on my system. Now, with or without ACPI, the 
soundcard isn't even found.
There is no further error message, linux installs as always.
Regards,
Dennis Heuer

It's technically pointless.  Take a look at bootsplash, though.

Bootsplash does exactly what I was complaining about. It controls only some 
part of the process of *booting* into the desktop without smooth transition 
(though it's at least a nice toy). The rest of your answer hits me but doesn't 
help me a little. Sorry if I am a pointless non-geek.

A way to smoothly overgive graphics control to an other process/program

2005-04-08 Thread Dennis Heuer
Hello,
I feel disturbed by the fact that when display-controlling programs are started 
in line (like the bootloader, linux, and finally xdm/gdm/kdm), there appear 
several switches of display resolution, text- and graphics mode, and background 
images. I asked myself how to get that more smooth as if there was only one 
presentation from the time the bootloader started up to the gnome/kde session. 
I thought that one could implement a small api that allows a running process to 
freeze display updates until the next process has overtaken the display, loaded 
the same presentation (from same location or just by similar configuration), 
dumped it to the working buffer of the graphics card, and released the display 
(a timeout with fallback-mode could make this transaction more 
fault-resistent). This way, the image loaded by the bootloader could be held on 
display up to the graphical login, and even as the desktop background, without 
any visible effect.
Is this technically feasible?
Regards
Dennis Heuer
