What's the most important thing that isn't working in your hardware?

Doehni · 2007-12-08 00:10:34

THis week I made t swap partition big enough for holding my ram, so now suspend to disk works perfectly with pm-utils! suspend to ram doesn't work, but I don't need it.

The only thing that bothers me: My printer doesn't have a linux driver!! *grr* The model is a Tally Genicom 8008 color laser...

edit: hey, its my 77th post! Does that cost?

jep, module is existant and i can load it:

> modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700

> dmesg |tail
usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 5-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
dib0700: loaded with support for 2 different device-types
usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700

somehow the udev wont create the device-files... /dev/dvb does not exist...
creating them via [1] or [2] does not change anything

following [3]:

> ./Create_Scanning_Table

> scan Scanlist.txt

thanks!, I didn't noticed it
You're welcome. 4L is a good GUI for Lightscribe. It's available in AUR.

Post your hardware. Maybe someone has some info.

The printer is a Lexmark Z600 (which works fine in 32bit) and the webcam is Genius..I posted a thread about it a while ago but the solution didn't work

Digital camera. Completely stopped working a few weeks ago with a kernel upgrade (or some other change), no answer yet.

I remember your printer thread now. It seems that someone figured out something that may work. You'll probably need some lib32 stuff also, but it looks promising:

There are also some threads that seem to show that your web cam may work. Search for 'genius webcam linux'.

I put another hand up for suspend. About one time in ten the keyboard does not work afterward and occasionally the mouse. I think it works better if I touch nothing while it is coming back but that could all be superstition...

Hmm, I'd have to say either recording audio that's playing out my speakers (which I was able to work around by putting a patch cable from my amplifier to my line in) or my TV capture card remote (which I was able to work around by stretching my keyboard across the room). As for suspend, that never even worked right in Windows, so I haven't tried it in Arch yet.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my alt keys don't work. Though that could be my keyboard's fault.

ram/hybernate
also the annoying ATI corner pixel messing up bug thingy.

I'm a bit lucky here. All my hardware parts work correctly under ArchLinux (even my TV tuner card).

My only current problem with arch is a software problem where virtual consoles break if I restart X after resuming from hibernate but that's a software and not a hardware problem.

Hardware support seems to be excellent at moment in ArchLinux. It's much better than what I hear about in other distributions.

Arch Linux
