| 11:26.59 | chimaera | hi. |
| 11:29.04 | chimaera | i installed a custom kernel on my powerbook (fn-patch applied) and now the special keys arent's working (xev reports the correct keycodes, though). any ideas? |

| 11:47.00 | lixus | chimaera, where do you have problems: on the console or in X ? |
| 11:49.17 | johill | btw. to whomever I told that this hacked airport through mol didn't use much cpu -- it does when you really transfer some data |
| 11:50.08 | lixus | chimaera, what "special keys" ? whatever, the answer is most probably "man xmodmap" and pbbuttonsd |
| 11:55.12 | chimaera | lixus: special-keys like fn+f3 (mute). the thing is, if i oot the stock kernel, everything works. i wonder what i might have forgotten.. |
| 11:55.27 | chimaera | s/oot/boot/ |
| 11:56.40 | chimaera | hi johill. |
| 12:00.52 | johill | chimaera: what hardware? |
| 12:01.32 | chimaera | post-feb/05 12" pb |
| 12:01.57 | johill | what kernel? |
| 12:02.37 | chimaera | johill: generic 2.6.14-rc4, fn-pach applied. |
| 12:03.13 | johill | output of xev and showkey (console)? |
| 12:03.19 | johill | [when you press fn, of course] |
| 12:03.42 | chimaera | johill: xev is ok, same keycodes as with the working kernel. i have't checked showkey. |
| 12:03.55 | johill | so ctrl_r |
| 12:04.22 | chimaera | excuse me? |
| 12:04.38 | johill | should be the key that you get |
| 12:05.47 | chimaera | i don't get any keycode for fn-only, but it switches when using fn+function keys. |
| 12:05.57 | chimaera | might that be the problem? |
| 12:06.38 | johill | uh, yes |
| 12:06.53 | johill | but we already knew that the kernel patch is broken again or something |
| 12:07.00 | johill | search the archives of the debian-ppc list |
| 12:08.42 | chimaera | well, i had to add one line to the patch so i could apply it, but anyway, i guess i just missed the fn-only thing. |
| 12:09.22 | johill | I haven't researched this yet, it doesn't work for me either on -rc4 |
| 12:09.58 | chimaera | i see. tested rc5, yet? |
| 12:10.07 | johill | no |
| 12:12.33 | chimaera | johill: ah, there's a lengthy thread on the ML. thanks. |
| 12:16.20 | johill | because the hardware is new, undocumented, and few people have it |
| 12:17.16 | lixus | but it is also a mess with my 2001 powerbook but i aggree with your last point |
| 12:17.55 | johill | however, I'm happy |

| 12:18.38 | chimaera | pretty much, but there's really some work involved to get everything working.. |
| 12:18.43 | johill | because the open source airport driver can now reliably transmit frames |
| 12:18.58 | johill | with a few fixes I just noted on their ml, but still :) |
| 12:19.38 | chimaera | johill: you're speaking about AE? |
| 12:19.51 | johill | yes |
| 12:20.15 | johill | receiving is a no-go currently, but I'll figure that out too ;) |
| 12:20.35 | chimaera | i gave it a quick look, wasn't able to assign a ESSID and went back to my wifi-stick (which is causing problems, too, tough) ;) |
| 12:20.49 | johill | uhh |
| 12:20.51 | johill | as I said above |
| 12:20.58 | johill | it can just about transmit frames |
| 12:21.03 | johill | not even with their svn code |
| 12:21.11 | johill | so that's in no shape to do something like that |
| 12:22.21 | chimaera | of course. but i'm in no way programmer enough to follow the ML on this, so i just checked out and instlled the thing. |
| 12:23.00 | johill | not much point in that, I'm afraid |
| 12:23.50 | chimaera | i figured out that much ;) |
| 12:25.37 | chimaera | but having the experts here: there's usplash for displaying a boot-splash, but it seems the color-depth of the fb(?) is too low for it to be displayed correctly. can i modify this? is there a parameter like the vga= for lilo on x86? |
| 12:26.37 | johill | heh. you should be able to give vga=... to the kernel here too, lilo doesn't read it, the kernel does, afaik |
| 12:28.01 | chimaera | same modes as for x86? and i guess i have to put this into yaboot.conf? |
| 12:28.40 | johill | depends which driver you use. I suppose you don't use vesa but radeon (or do you on a pb 12"?) and yes, put in yaboot.conf and re-run ybin. or try from the yaboot commandline first |
| 12:29.14 | chimaera | 12", nvidia that is. most unfortunate. |
| 12:31.02 | chimaera | i knew that i wouldn't be able to run 3d, which isn't a problem, but not beeing able to use STR is another thing. didn't think about that before buying |
| 12:31.06 | johill | vesa I guess, then, vga= |

| 12:54.34 | chimaera | re |
| 12:58.13 | johill | any luck? |
| 13:02.53 | chimaera | no, i modified the patch as suggested in the afore mentioned thread but still doesn't work. also, vga=791 gets applied (according to dmesg) but t he problem with usplash remains. |
| 13:03.48 | johill | dunno then, sorry |
| 13:04.02 | johill | have to go soon anyway, battery almost empty |
| 13:05.31 | chimaera | np, thanks . ;) |
