-cko2 in the AUR

mmgm · 2005-07-04 12:29:43

OK, found the problem. It has nothing to do with the patches and rather with one stupid, little line in the config file

CONFIG_FB=y

I am aware that one of the perks in cko is a pretty splash screen which requires FB support, but that breaks ATI support apparently (its in the wiki).
I can't believe I missed it.

dtw · 2005-07-04 13:45:15

bummer! i guess there was little need to leave the ATI stuff as modules then! The binary will be built with fbsplash so ther goes qwerty's wish!

dtw · 2005-07-04 13:46:27

2 votes so far - that's pretty pathetic!

dtw · 2005-07-04 13:48:58

Hi all.
2.1.9.8 for the 2.6.12 kernel is now available.
http://suspend2.net/downloads/all/softw … 12.tar.bz2

oh, for fsck's sake! leave me alone world! i've got enough to sodding do!

CyberTron · 2005-07-04 13:56:57

Damn it.

iphitus · 2005-07-04 14:23:12

hey!! you can always take the pkgbuild and disable fbsplash and make your own one!!

Yes, I can, but that takes effort, which I'm too lazy for, and more importantly, time, and plenty of it on this slow, pathetic, old box.

tomk · 2005-07-04 14:35:58

Shouldn't be a problem - if you're lazy, you probably get plenty of sleep, so start the compile just before you hit the sack, and wake up to a freshly-squeezed new kernel.

dtw · 2005-07-04 15:46:21

...or, conversely, wake up and discover your partition got filled up and you only got half the kernel in your pkg file!

tomk · 2005-07-04 15:53:27

Very possible - laziness being likely to have an adverse affect on basic system administration......

dtw · 2005-07-04 16:00:16

...i cleaned the partition yesterday too

qwerty · 2005-07-04 17:33:43

Hey, i've upgraded ati drivers and i'm using them with your kernel and everything seems to works fine.
So, new ati drivers are on the AUR, let me know if i need to make more changes and thank you for all

For more infos just look at here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=97985#97985

mmgm: i don't know who wrote on the wiki that line about the framebuffer but it's wrong, it's only needed to remove (or select as modules) CONFIG_FB_I810 and CONFIG_FB_INTEL otherwise you cannot select CONFIG_AGP as a module. AH, just another thing, you cannot use the ati install script with kernel 2.6.12 because a few patches are needed to make ati drivers compile with this kernel.

mmgm · 2005-07-04 21:24:22

Thanks a lot qwerty, works great now. I'd have said it was a complete waste of time configuring and compiling a custom kernel as I did trying to resolve this issue, but I'm enjoying the speed so much I guess it was worth it anyway.

Again, thanks! This really made my day - a fast, shiny, new kernel and proper 3D acceleration support for it.

qwerty · 2005-07-05 01:40:03

Thanks for your feedback too

If you haven't done it yet you may vote for both the packages on the AUR, so, perhaps, in a few time we should have them avaliable to download/install just with a "pacman -S" from the community repository.

C yaaa

mmgm · 2005-07-05 04:37:10

Ummmm, I do have the weirdest problem. I really fail to see what this has to do with a patched kernel, but it's apparent solely in this one so it must have.

My little picture doesn't get displayed in GDM as it used to before.

dtw · 2005-07-05 06:43:35

mate, that's so not the kernel doing that!

mmgm · 2005-07-05 06:54:26

As I already said, I fail to see what the hell the kernel has to do with this problem, but it must do.

I think I'm gonna do a case mod - build a complete case out of sponge so that I can just kick my computer every time I feel like it, which is every time something as stupid and bizzare as this happens.

Edit: Apparrently the GDM package is out of date. Maybe the new one fixes this issue. I'll try altering the PKGBUILD and making the new one. I'm beginning to feel like a stupid bitch; complaining before doing my research. I hate it when people do that, hence, next time, please burn my house so that I learn my lesson. I deserve it.

dtw · 2005-07-05 11:59:52

I think this is the best kernel i have used yet. Suspend2 and fbsplash are working great for me - reiser4 of course is fine and no problems at all

arooaroo · 2005-07-05 12:35:26

I've just installed cko2 and qwerty's ati drivers. And I finally got around to switching to Udev. So, quite a productive morning

Anyway, I couldn't help noticing the following warnings:

Software Suspend 2.1.9.5: You need to use a resume2= command line parameter to tell Software Suspend 2 where to look for an image.
Software Suspend 2.1.9.5: Resume2 parameter is empty. Suspending will be disabled.
Software Suspend 2.1.9.5: Missing or invalid storage location (resume2= parameter). Please correct and rerun lilo (or equivalent) before suspending.

With suspend being one of the prime reasons for moving to this kernel, I was wondering if anyone could offer some pointers? TIA

dtw · 2005-07-05 13:23:54

simply stick a resume2= command on your kernel line in grub or lilo that points to your swap partition

e.g.

resume2=/dev/hda9

tomk · 2005-07-05 13:46:39

Is it not

resume2=swap:/dev/hda9

That's what it says here, anyway.

CyberTron · 2005-07-05 14:03:16

tomk: that is correct (if that is the drive you wanna resume from)

arooaroo · 2005-07-05 14:44:34

thanks guys

dtw · 2005-07-05 15:08:50

i think the other one worked for me too! could be wrong so go with the official versions!
