Some notes about woody on Omnibook XE3
Hi all, I read docs about Linux on HP Omnibook X3E (best one: http://homex.subnet.at/~max/comp-05_hp-omnibook-xe3.shtml. Great! Thanks to author.) I installed woody on a X3E(f) and I have few notes to public, hoping they can be useful: ACPI vs/ APM My laptop has ACPI features; so I recompiled kernel 2.4.18 with ACPI support (and APM as a module); I then tried to use acpi (obviously not loading the APM module); /proc/acpi dir showed right values, but KDE applet need APM and did't work with ACPI. If I boot with "acpi=off" kernel parameter and I insmod apm.o, KDE shows a wrong battery status (it seems always plugged to power line). I compiled the "omnibook kernel module" (see previous link for info), then I booted with "apci=off" and insmodded omnibook.o with "apmemu=yes"; it didn't solve the problem. As a workaround, I use both acpi and omnibook module with "apmemu=yes". (Do not insmod apm.o); KDE works, /proc/acpi and /proc/apm are ok; note the message "apm: overridden by ACPI". Some other ACPI features are ok (i.e. pressing power button starts "init 0"), but not all (suspend mode doesn't work). "Web keyboard" == The omnibook kernel module let you use "web" buttons for launching browser, mail client, volume control,...; just install hotkeys package and create a new definition file based on scancodes associated with each button (but suspend button has no scancode). Some problem using VMware; the workaround documented in the package is not fully functional. HP DiagTools partition == If you did not erase the first partition on /dev/hda, you should be able to use HP Diagnostic Tools pressing F10 on boot. As this partition is marked of type "IBM Hybernation", LILO is not able to boot it (or, better: LILO can boot MSDOS on /dev/hda1, but DOS seems to hang. It's DOS fault, non LILO's). Changing type to "DOS - FAT16" is the solution, but you will not able to use F10... I messed up with several LILO options with no better result. IrDA ? not tried... X Window System === Chipset is Intel i803. X works correctly (in 16bit colour mode) with "vesa" driver, best with "fbdev". Not with "i801". Sound, Network adapter,... == See link above. All is ok. Comment from Omnibook Debian users will be welcome. Piero Furiesi

Omnibook XE3 multimedia/onetouch keys revealed!
Well,
after several hours of debugging/testing/experimenting I found what HP
could not tell straightforward. To enable the scancodes for the extra
keys one should write 0x59 to port 0x64 (kbd command register) and then
0x90 to port 0x60 (kbd command parameter register). For those who are
curious I debugged keyboard.exe which is part of the diagnostic tool
that you get when you press F10 on power up. The file is in the
hibernation partition which has a small FAT part in the beginning.
All extra keys except volume up/down work (I'll try different values to
port 60 to get them working too). I've attached a kernel patch (2.4.x)
and key definitions for hotkeys (a program to get the newly working keys
doing nice things). You also need to add to your kernel parameters
"kbd-reset" because I've put the activation code in a keyboard reset
function which is not invoked by default on x86 (counting that BIOS has
already initialised the keyboard).
PS: Could anyone with a non-XE3 Omnibook test this too, and tell me
whether it works.

Omnibook XE3
Hi, I have installed the latest woody release on an HP Omnibook XE3. I also updated the kernel to 2.4.17-686. The startx command ends up with a 'no screens found'. I checked for info on google and all I know is that the graphic card is an 'Intel 830M'. Please help... Thanks, Alex. -- Alexandre Carlhian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Malia Software <http://www.maliasoft.com> We don't have a logo but we do have software!

SOLVED: Lockups on HP Omnibook XE3 !
Hi, i think it's interesting for the people out there having a HP OB XE3 or similar. A short time ago, i had problems with random crashes on my XE3. I tried several kernel-options turned APM on/off... etc... nothing then i tested my laptop in console-mode only and i didn't had any problems ! Worked fine under non-X ! Okey... then I've found something interesting in a mailinglist. Many S3-chips have the problem, that they lock the hole system completely up, when they become a false command. A workaround was described too. But it's not an ideal one if you wan't maximum performance on your laptop. Disable HardwareAcceleration !! in XF86Config-4 under savage-driver -> option "NoAccel" This problem relies on XF86 4.1.x and the Savage-Driver Now i experienced NO crashes since about 12 hours :) sincerly Andy

Greetings, I have an HP Omnibook XE3 running Debian (of course!) but I have a little problem. When I try to suspend (using apm -s as root) the screen get blanked for a moment and then it returns an error message: apm: Input/Output Error. I have seen the logs and in syslog it's always the following line: apmd[147]: Normal Resume after 00:00:03 In /var/log/messages: apm: suspend: Unable to enter requested state Info. about the system: Debian Potato, kernel 2.4.6, APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.14) Anybody can give me a hint?
