 So we are on the final stretch - won't promise a date yet, but you're
 welcome to make your test builds from our 10.1.3 repos, so you can be
 checking in parallel that there are no conflicts / issues and then
 spin your build soon after we release.

 Your test reports will also be welcome!

Hi Sridhar,

would be great if you could contribute to these testing efforts [1]. We 
are particularly interested in possible regressions at this stage and 
testing of the new Features etc.

I am also working on the release notes in the next days, so you know 
what to expect [2].

Thanks,
Simon

Rotation on VX855 saga

2010-12-16 Thread Martin Langhoff
Thanks to Jon Nettleton and James Cameron for chasing the rotation
glitches all the way down to the root last night.

I've posted a status update here -
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9350#comment:67

And we also need to address http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10453

So now we need  a bit of help

 - dsd, pgf, do you think you can look at the viafb patches, and think
through the olpc-dcon vs ofw (who should un-freeze) situation?

 - Mitch - does the OFW change make sense, or will it make other OSs
explode? IOW, who is responsible for dcon-unfreeze on the resume
codepath?

 - pgf, I'll craft a workaround patch for you to review (re #10453)

cheers,

He *wants* the wlan, but to act as an 802.11b/g and not 802.11s. So
they switch off the mesh ('s') functionality during boot before NM
sees it.

Now in suspend/resume, the wlan gets restarted and wham! it's running
as a mesh node again. If you can whack it before NM sees it, you're
fine.

actually post-resume scripts have been available for some time.
it was pre-suspend scripts that were added recently.

look for Post-resume scripts in /usr/sbin/powerd for documentation.

Note:  these scripts run when there's a high likelihood that
the system will, or did, suspend.  but the suspend may not actually
have happened.  in the case being discussed (echo 0  lbs_mesh), it
sounds like that's probably okay, but you wouldn't want to use these

the system if the suspend didn't actually take place.

  The only way to find out is to test it.

it also might be useful to understand the history behind the code. 
i looked for a similar dcon unload in the XO-1 resume path, and didn't
find it (but didn't expect to, and so could have missed it).  is it
possible that the unfreeze in the via code was leftover from early
development, when the kernel didn't yet have a dcon driver?

is this on XO-1?  if not, then i don't know how that would change
anything.  if so, then you should know that doing this probably causes
the wlan to stay powered (and it wakes almost 1W!) when the lid is
closed or you've used the power button to put the laptop to sleep.  a
resume script would be a better solution, if it works.
