touchpad

[beakmyn]

anybody try these touchpad drivers? http://mobilix.org/touchpad_driver.html

or is there an easier way that I missed?

Breakmyn,

Yep thats the right page to enable futures of the touchpad. I am using an usb optical mouse wheel so i have de activated the touchpad ( suXs for games ).

To all, i will delay my installation of a wireless card due to poor hardware. The C100 e-tech pcmcia 11 Mbits WiFi card is recognised but nor identified. I am already using the latest cvs pcmcia-cs. Ther is a second hand PC show next week, will get somit more commun, like a 3com or LynkSys.

Okies,ACPI is finally working perfect, only software suspend won't work in X, which defeats a bit the point ;( . As well the throttling control is very easy ; ) :
As root, cd /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/
then echo -n 3 > limit will put the proc in the T3 mode, or 37% throttle ;)
Here is the link, once patched successfully ;)
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/processor.html

:banana: :banana: :banana: :D

An another challenge, here is my goal :
We have a great email LED on top and bottom of the screen ;) Only useful to Windows users but this is what i will look to do, use it as a network acvtivity led ;) Yes, the integrated Reateck 8139 C/C+ 100/10 BaseT Network card doesn't have a led, so the email light will be it ;)

Please remember that getting all the goodies of your Sager/Promedion/Eurocom/AlienWare/Clevo notbook requires RECOMPILING a kernel. I don't believe any stock vendor kernel will have everything.

So once again, hard and harder, but hey linux is freedom, and freedom has to be deserved in this world ;) Damn that was geeky ;)

So to all *nix people, here is the 3 essential links to get your laptop kicking under linux.

3) http://kr.mnsu.edu/~bayerr/radeon.html

Okies, hope ya guys are making these sager scream. I do ;) By the way, i have set the AGP aperture in the Bios to 128 Megs and have a real boost increase in FPs and perfs. But be aware !! I do not run windows, and windows WILL hang and crash with those settings ( Anyhow Win2000 Advanced Server does !!! )

Now running RtCW, Q3a, SoFI, ut2k3, Quake2, Quake2 Xatrix and Rogue and BillardGL a STUNNING 3D pool game !!

Its not your card that is isn't working, its pcmcia-cs. It probably loads the module memory_cs, right?

Me and ROBOTHOUSE! have been fighting with this for awhile. It appears the pcmcia-cs drivers do not play well with the TI 1250 Cardbus controller. Funny thing is that the kernel drivers will work and detect the card, but you can't set anything on the card, like ap (access point) using iwconfig.

I don't think it is your card, but rather your cardbus controller.

Well, thats is the main problem. I haven't loaded the memory_cs module, but when the card connects, it says "Anonymous Memory". If i try loading the module, then it sees a card but then 'cardctl ident' returns: No Information avalaible for card.

My pcmcia port works great. I have CVS'ed the latest pcmcia-cs and compiled it. My 3com 10/100 Lan CardBus card works great. Just that wireless card....I have put a LynkSys in, and it works, but it isn't mine.

Do you still have problems with pcmcia ? Do you have serial_cs loaded ? /sbin/lsmod | grep serial_cs. Do you have a kernel config handy ? Or base yourself on the one in the link i posted ^^. Get me some ouput info, and check /var/log/debug when ya insert & remove the card...:banana: :banana: :banana:

Yeah, I've been through the whole rigamarole with pcmcia. I use two cards, Dell TruMobile and a 3com and neither work with pcmcia-cs. They work with the kernel drivers, though. I just can't use the wireless tools to change any settings if I use kernel drivers. It keeps saying "Operation not supported". Since both are supported , I think it might be the controller. Cardctl ident can't get the identifier from either card with pcmcia-cs, but it can with the kernel drivers. Go figure.
