io333 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I've been trying various flavours of Mandrake on my P1120 since Mandrake 9. They all worked pretty well, except that I've never managed (i.e., gone through the trouble) to get the following working: 1. Touchscreen (maybe 2 people on earth managed to make this work) 2. Longrun (supposedly in the built into the latest mandrake kernel) 3. sleep on lid close. Right now it's running 10.0 Community and everything except the above works, including USB, simultaneous USB mouse and eraser mouse, disk spin down, screen blanking, wireless. I had to manually tweak X for the screen size and mice, but everything else, including built in wireless was good to go out of the box. When 10.1 Official comes out, I'm going to try to get 1, 2, and 3 above to work. If anyone has any pointers, I'd love to hear them!!!

iphitus Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Longrun: Install CPUFreqd, then set that to run at boot. (it probably will by default, if it doesnt, go into mandrake control center, find services, then enable it :D Automatically controls CPU using Longrun, ACPI throttling or Speedstepping, depending on the CPU.

io333 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Do you know where the config file is? I cannot find it -- my CPU is still running full blast and my fingers are HOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 (edited) I don't have a laptop, but this is what I know. Linux has a special laptop-mode which essently delays writing to the harddisk, ... You can use cpufreqd, but there is also another program "cpudyn" I think that does this all the time(I think cpufreqs only reacts on pluggin into the powersource or am I wrong? ... You'll have to check): it speeds up your cpu when it's needed and slows it down when not (not only when your laptop is disconnect from a powersource). You need "acpid" for the lidclosing: check /etc/acpid/handler.sh. It specifies something about lid. You can also find some docs online for this. Longrun is supported in the kernel, I saw it in the option-list. You need to modprobe the cpufreq-modules (table, freq, ... maybe others) and the longrun one. There will appear new devices in your /sys-system when it succeeds. Not sure about the touchscreen, although I think I saw some setups described, but I don't know much about this. Hopes this helps some, Edited November 28, 2004 by Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
