dmidecode reports 3 ports while I have only 2.
by Strong
Extract from dmidecode output on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1501:
Handle 0x000E, DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
Port Connector Information
Internal Reference Designator: J30
Internal Connector Type: None
External Reference Designator: Microphone In
External Connector Type: Mini Jack (headphones)
Port Type: Audio Port
Handle 0x000F, DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
Port Connector Information
Internal Reference Designator: J30
Internal Connector Type: None
External Reference Designator: Line In
External Connector Type: Mini Jack (headphones)
Port Type: Audio Port
Handle 0x0010, DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
Port Connector Information
Internal Reference Designator: J30
Internal Connector Type: None
External Reference Designator: Speaker Out
External Connector Type: Mini Jack (headphones)
Port Type: Audio Port
But I have only 2 ports on its side: mic and phones. So how I can use
the "Line In" safe way?

intel 3945abg wireless controller
by peter abplanalp
to the guy who is trying to get the intel 3945abg wireless controller to work. this is what i have on my laptop and it is working. i installed the following rpms from atrpms.net:
ipw3945-ucode
ipw3945
ipw3945d
ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2944
make sure the kmdl rpm you install matches your kernel. also, have a look at http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/. after installing the rpms above, i added the following to my /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth1 ipw3945
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 associate=1; sleep 0.5; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945
the interface then showed up in the networking configuration gui and i was able to configure it.
hope that helps,

headphone/speaker confusion after suspend
by peter abplanalp
hi. i have an hp dv6267cl running fc 6 in large part flawlessly; however, i am having one problem with sound and suspend to ram. when i first boot the laptop, everything works fine. i can switch from headphones to speakers and back but when the laptop comes back from being suspended, only the speakers work. i try to mute the speakers but the headphones still won't work. if i unplug and plug the headphones back in, it also doesn't help. the only way to get things fixed is to reboot.
i've searched around the web and it looks like other people have had/are having this problem but the only helpfull thing i've found is for ubuntu where doing a /etc/init.d/alsa restart seems to help fix the problem.
so i have 2 questions:
1) is there any way to fix this problem?
2) if the answer to 1 is no, is there a way i can do something similar to /etc/init.d/alsa restart on ubuntu? i don't having anything like that in my /etc/init.d. can i rmmod and then modprobe some modules to get the same affect? if so, which ones?
thanks in advance.

3D acceleration does not work on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1501.
by Strong
3D acceleration does not work on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1501. It has
ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 256Mb
- although X server identifies it as
ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M
or
Chipset ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5975 (PCIE)
- didn't understand for sure. In X.log I see also:
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
Is it possible to run 3D acceleration on this laptop? Thanks for
answers.

Fedora Core 6 KDE 3.5 Laptop Issues
by Jeremey Wise
First post to this forum. I hope one of many
Hardware: IBM T41 Laptop 1GB RAM
Software: Fedora Core 6 fully updated via YUM
Desktop: KDE
The conversion from windows back to Linux was as painful as I remember.
Most of the pain surrounds locating the appropriate codecs to make
multimedia not suck on Linux, Wireless, 3D Graphics (a complete failure
on this POS video card from ATI), and running those few Windows Apps
which can not translate over to Linux (thank God for VMWare).
I have a few outstanding issues which I have need of assistance on to
make my transition from the dark-side back to the light workable. Any
guidance would be a great help. My goal with this thread is to open the
conversation and as I / others find resolution to update this thread.
1) Wireless. You can go into the interface for KDE Control Center.
Setup wireless profiles (one for home, work, hotel "open", etc...) but
they NEVER seem to activate. I then tried basic use of
"system-configure-network" and setting the SSID / key in that
interface... still not working. I loaded wifi-radar which is a nice
interface but again ... I can add profiles but non seem to "activate"
but when I reboot into windows all my wireless works fine. I know that
wireless works because if the wireless access point is wide open I can
connect and get an IP and everything is fine.
2) It has been happening more often now and is becoming an issue where I
attach to a Wired LAN and for some reason I get the IP address, DNS,
from the DHCP server (yes they are Windows DHCP servers) but it never
builds a default route. I have VMWare installed so I shut that off in
lue of some of the virtual LANs I have created being the cause but no
change. I reboot in Windows (or use Windows bridged in a VM) and it
works fine. I can manually add the route IF I happen to be able to
discover the default gateway. Nothing shows in /var/log/messages
3) Auto Login does not work. I am lazy. I like to have it automatically
login for me. The KDE Control Center is broken and so is the "help"
button which it notes that one "must read".
4) Within KDE control panel their are "default applications" which you
can set. Firefox for browser, Evolution for mail. BUT you can not change
the default chat to GAIM which.
5) I use two monitors at the office. I span desktops and this works fine
for 90% of the time BUT if I suspend my laptop to go home I have to
close all my applications to get them to move 'off' my non-existent
second monitor, and then logout of the session to get them to stop
spanning. I hope their is a quick way to fix this to simply (like
windows) attach or detach a monitor.
6) Of all the multimedia programs and extensions / types out their I can
get all of them to work. My issue is with Flash / SWF based files. I
added a firefox extension (mplayer will not play them)and they work, but
they are DOG slow.
7) I have had people give me some old PCMCI Memory cards which I was
hoping to use for playing with. For some reason Fedora Core can not see
these cards and mount them. /var/log/messages says
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
but their is not any device noted to which it attached so I can mount
it. I think this is an RTFM issue as to the new way devices are "made on
the fly", but I need said Manual.
8) VOIP. I use VIOP at my work to attach to my Avaya phone system. I
tried for about a week to get egika to work and have debugged it to be
something where our server will not accept my password. The egika user
list is rather non-responsive so I am looking for another app or someone
who has cracked this nut. My IT staff here don't have any vested
interest in helping me... so they don't.
Again, thanks for all the help and I will modify this thread as I
acquire answers and solutions to my issues.

It would be a good idea to un-secure your wireless network when
troubleshooting wireless devices.
