hotwire Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Im running Mandriva One, totaly up to date as of today. And I wish to install the sony-laptop module so I can use my function keys. Also as a side note, how do I re-compile for highmem support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 We need to know what Mandriva release version you're using, and what kernel? If you use the laptop kernel, your system will probably work better for you. I believe that the module you're referring to has been including in the Linux kernel since 2.6.21?

hotwire Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Im using Mandriva One, with kernel-laptop-latest-2.6.24.5-2mnb . any help would be of great help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) You should not need to recompile for highmem support. this should be included by default in all kernels now, IIRC. Also, saying you are using Mandriva One does not clarify what version. There are several versions of Mandriva One, i.e. 2007/2008/etc. Last, I suggest you learn to use the Mandriva Control Center. You will likely need to use the Install Software feature of MCC to install the necessary packages to get your keys working.

ffi Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 most likely the keys will already be recognised but if you use kde kmilo the program needed to use those keys was not included, so install kmilo first and then see if they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
