Anyone got some ideas what's wrong? Or maybe knows a workaround how to get the DVD-RW running without the SATA ATAPI hint?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You shouldn't have x86 in the USE flags (a bit off subject). I've been using the kernel patch that you mentioned on mine for a while now and have not noticed those problems once. I have noticed those problems when I was using like a May 15th version of dri for X. I had the same exact problems as you described until I used an earlier version of the dri which I'm currently using still. |

That's normal output as it's reported by emerge info even if you didn't set it in make.conf. Just my 2c . _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

I still get the same lock ups, even with the Vanilla kernel. Strangely enough, it remains the only problem I have. Even DRI works ok with the Radeon X300. So it seems that only the ATAPI for SATA feature causes the system to freeze.
Is there a way to get my DVD writer to work without it? |

I just nished my install on my new Dell Inspiron 6000. I am running into two problems though. One, and the most important, is my display - it is the right resolution that I want, but it is a bit fuzzy. The 2nd one is that I cannot get an external USB muse to work. I have a Logitech MX510 and I had it working perfectly on my I8500, but not on the new I6000. On boot I have gpm starting and I can move the cursor with both the touchpad and the USB mouse, but once X starts I cannot move the cursor with the external mouse. I don't even get a response from the mouse buttons while in X. I had followed the instructions on this site: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=46 and those on this site: http://pstudios.ath.cx/linhowtos/mx510.php. I see the dmesg output when the device is plugged in and "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" shows this:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c01d Version=2100
N: Name="Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2
B: EV=17
B: KEY=ff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103
B: MSC=10
Here is my xorg.conf and my kernel config, hopefully someone can tell me what stupid mistake I have made and tell me how to fix my two issues. Thanks.
My xorg is the same as dschaus' xorg.conf but with these changes:
# Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
Option "xfree86-dga" # Added on 5/17/05 to facilitate VMWare
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefont/"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ChordMiddle"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "9 10"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "** NVIDIA (generic) [nv]"
Monitor "My Monitor"

Please, Rob, think of removing comments and empty lines when you post large files (e.g. grep -ivE '^#|^ *$' /etc/X11/xorg.conf). _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

I'm currently using the gentoo sources when I make the modification. I wonder if there could be a problem because you are using a DVD writer while I'm using a CD-RW. |

Hi,
I'm no moderator but in this case I have to give a comment on posting....
@RBJ1128: Please edit your post and remove the complete xorg-part. As far as I can see it is almost exactly mine, so a pointer to www.topspritten.de/xorg.conf or saying "it's dschaus' xorg.conf" with the following changes is DEFINITELY enough.... And while you do that you could also remove the .config part if it's also mine or tell us the differences, but I'm definitely not willing to scroll through the current thousands of pages, sorry if I'm too selfish but it in my opinion it doesn't help anybody if you post every line... After that we can also better check your problems, because if it works here it should work on your machine, too
---
@Anterion: I'm currently experiencing exactly the same problems (simply crashing doesn't matter if under heavy load or idling), I didn't yet check if its the atapi-patch but thanks for the hint, because I couldn't find anything in the logs and I was thinking it was because I rsynced everything from my Pentium4-Gentoo (I have some P4 machines here sharing the packages created while compiling and because they should be compatible I also use them on the I6000)... I'll take a look at this later (currently using the gentoo-sources and I remember the machine was rock-solid during the first weeks, and maybe really after patching the file it got instable...)
@all: Sorry, I'm still too busy to work on the I6000-stuff, I hope to find some time next week, or maybe (little chances) on sunday, sorry for the delay, I would really like to help more !

Anyone have any luck getting ACPI to work? I mainly just need it to turn off my display when I close the lid. Also, where the heck is the lid switch on this thing? _________________ -RBJ1128 |

OK, so far so good, now it's easier to see what's going on and I don't need an extra engine to turn my mouse-wheel ...
first a question: What happens (regarding your mouse) if you use my xorg.conf file ? Doesn't it work at all or are just your extra-7-Buttons not working ?
ACPI: No Idea where the switch is (I guess it's in the two display-holders), if you're really interested, you might consider checking Dell's service-manuals , but blanking (with the background-light off) in X can be done by adding
Option "DPMS"
in the Monitor section. I
The other ACPI-Stuff should be working if you have it activated in your kernel-config (e.g. cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state ) |

If I use your xorg.conf file I still have no response from the external mose. What I did to get it to work is take out the option "Core Pointer" for the touchpad. Without that option the external mouse works, but the scroller on the touchpad does not. I'm going to try to find some more options and see if I can't get both of them working. _________________ -RBJ1128 |

@RBJ: But you have seen, that the touchpad in my file is not stated as Corepointer but as AlwaysCore ?
This made everything work here --> Try it out |

Thanks.
Now, back to the ACPI. I added the option that you stated, but it still does not shut off when the lid is closed. Here is my monitor section:

I think you need software suspend v2 to get more functionnalities. I'm on it soon and I'll be able to answer as soon as I get it to work . _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

That only talks about suspending to the disk. I would like the power to stay on, but just the screen to turn off when I close the lid. _________________ -RBJ1128 |

@RBJ: Sorry, misunderstood you, the dpms-option is used for switching off the screen, but after a given time (see control-center in kde, there you can set the time). I'm currently not on my laptop but I think I've seen an option in kde-powermanagement "Action when lid is closed:" And you could set blank screen (or shut down screen) there, but I'm not completely sure... |

Right but there are examples of how to use apci events. However I doubt there is a way to control the screen that way. Normally your lap's BIOS does. If what you want to achieve is somehow sleep when the lid is closed then there are examples of how to do that, i.e. suspend either to RAM or to disk. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!...

Pleas habe a look to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-343199.html, here I postet my Problem. I hope you can help me rather than other people not using a dell inspiron 6000.
Are you able to burn cds or dvds and how did you configured your system? |

I have never seen that one before. Can you mount and unmount your CD drive? I ran into an issue where my CD drive was actually mapped to /dev/sr0 and I had to create a link to /dev/cdrom and point it to /dev/sr0. After I did that I could use my CD drive, but I have not yet tried to burn a disc. _________________ -RBJ1128 |

Alright, here is the situation. When I have my external mouse (Logitech MX510) connected and I boot up I have no problem, but if I boot up without the external mouse connected X craps out on me complaining about not having a core device. I then have to manually edit my xorg.conf and make the "Touchpad" the core pointer. That then must be reversed when I want to use my computer back at my apartment (with the mouse connected). Just 5 minutes ago I booted up at work with a different external mouse connected. I had my xorg.ocnf file set up the way that I do when I want to use my MX510, but it crapped out complaining about not being able to open "Mouse1". Here is the section in my xorg.conf that applies (see, I learned from last time not to post the entire thing):
Section "InputDevice"

I've got another one also. Currently, I only have 512MB RAM in the I6000, I have 1GB on delivery for tomorrow. I keep having system lockups. When I sync portage it will lockup, when I run updatedb it will lockup. I was emerging openoffice-bin, and my screensaver came on and locked up the thing. I don't know what to check for to see what is causing this, but hopefully someone out there can point me in a direction. Thanks. _________________ -RBJ1128 |

Parabola you genius! The following code in /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh works for me:
Code: | grep -r open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/chvt 12 && /usr/bin/chvt 7
fi |
NB: I have laptop-mode-tools installed. |
Is that your entire lm_lid.sh script? If not, can you post the entire script for me? Thanks _________________ -RBJ1128 |
