| |
Hi,
I just upgraded from 1.3.85 to 1.3.88 and still suffer from small bugs with the following harware:
IBM ThinkPad 340 (486SLC2/50 by IBM) 12Mo ram, 540 Mo HD, EtherlinkIII pcmcia
gcc 2.7.2, libc5.2.18, ldso1.7.14, gpm 1.00, modules 1.3.69f pcmcia-cs-2.8.10, procps-0.99a
- this laptop has only an APM 1.0 support. When I enable APM support in the kernel, at boot time I got:
PS/2 auxilliary pointing device detected -- driver installed APM BIOS 1.0 flag 0x03 (driver version 1.0) f923: 0 cseg16 f000 dseg 9fc0 ac on line, battery high, battery life unknown . . . apm_bios: get_event: unknown error code 0x53 . .
then whenever I move the mouse (PS/2 style with gpm 1.00 and gpm 1.06), I got on the console:
apm_bios: set display ready: unrecognized device ID
'more /proc/apm' give
1.0 1.0 0x03 0x01 0x00 0xff -1% -1 ?
- as any laptop I got an 'Fn' key and usually 'Fn' + 'F9' toggle the highlight of the screen in CHARACTERS mode. Under 1.2.13 and until 1.3.6x it works. But since 1.3.7x (where a change in console appear), it only work ONE time , after I change the VC it never work again :(.
- Just a remark, somewhere in 1.3.6x 'make dep' started to use gawk. But the NUMERIC type for gawk is DOUBLE ! And whitout coprocessor, now it took me one hour to do the 'make dep' phase instead of 5 minutes.
