How to configure a Dual monitor?
by Diego Ruiz-Hernandez 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hello. I've been trying to configure my Fedora 5 distribution (installed in a Toshiba LapTop) for using two different monitors at the same time (the LapTop and a flat screen one) but there seems to be something wrong. Please, can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Diego Ruiz

Only things I can came up with is to install Rawhide live cd on my laptop and then try to suspend and resume. And then update it with new kernel and try again... I can also wait for the official Fedora 7 and fedora 7 live cd and then try it out... Any other suggestions?

suspend/resume madness with Fedora 7 test 4 on HP Compaq nx7300
by Valent Turkovic 27 May '07

27 May '07

I got suspend to work! But I only got it working with Rawhide Live CD 20050517 ! If you wish you can see the track of this epochal endeavor her: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240964 Rawhide Live CD 20050517 uses kernel 2.6.21-1.3163 and suspend/resume work flawlessly with these quirks: rmmod iwl3945 pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore I suspected my fedora 7 test 4 was the problem when I managed to get suspend/resume working on a few laptops with not too much trouble with rawhide live cd. I guess that kernel is to blame or my installation got tainted in some way. So I decided that my laptop also deserves sterile test environment. So to conclude: - rmmod iwl3945 (if you don't remove this module first there is no way to suspend/resume your system) - don't test with Fedora 7 test 4 installed on your hdd - instead use Fedora 7 live CD for suspend/resume troubleshooting - live cd is much easier on the hardware because freezing a running system with mounted partitions can potentially cause data loss and errors on your partitions - disable Virtualisation in bios if you have it - quirks page is not that bad as I bashed it in the beginning, sorry Richard :) this got my system to suspend/resume - but still installed version doesn't resume from suspend. I'll wait for official Fedora 7 and try it again. Ritchard should I send these quirks for nx7300 even if it works only under live cd environment? here is lshal listing for my laptop: $ lshal |grep system.hardware system.hardware.product = 'HP Compaq nx7300 (RU374ES#AKN)' (string) system.hardware.serial = 'CNU65015JF' (string) system.hardware.uuid = '07F8BA4E-97D7-DD11-2580-6D990C593D29' (string) system.hardware.vendor = 'Hewlett-Packard' (string) system.hardware.version = 'F.0B' (string) Valent from Croatia. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

IBM ThinkPad R52 Quirk submission
by Valent Turkovic 25 May '07

25 May '07

I have tested Fedora 7 Live CD and make IBM R52 work with a quirk and I would like submit my findings so that IBM R52 JustWorks for other people in Fedora 7. I managed to suspend and resume 5 times from X and 2 times from console1 (ctrl-alt-f1) with this quirk: pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios the info I collected from lshal is: system.hardware.vendor = 'IBM' system.hardware.version = 'ThinkPad R52' please include this laptop as soon as possible so that Fedora 7 JustWorks with it when it ships. Thank you. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

willing to contribute - so laptops suspend better - but how?
by Valent Turkovic 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi, can you please look at the issue I'm having. I would like to help troubleshoot my laptop and then other 10 I have access to but I can't find how to do that. Is there any wiki page or some other resource that I can use? Or can you look at this one and give me some specific pointers? I posted a bug for fedora 7 but I can't suspend this laptop also with Fedora Core 6 or Ubuntu Feisty - it can only suspend and resume under OpenSuse when I use additional options for s2ram as I wrote in my bug report - please read it and add your precious knowledge about this subject. the link for the bug is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240964 Thank you very much in advance.
