Thanks for your work -- kernel is running fine here. But according to http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=bl... you need at least udev 071 to run 2.6.15 -- is that wrong or are we also getting a updated udev in time for FC4 (currently we are at udev-058-1.0.FC4.1)? CU thl

Thank you! Thank you! I tried it on my Acer Ferrari 4005 laptop and it recognized the Synaptics touchpad while the previous kernels didn't.

Sure. That hardware has been a thorn in my side since I can remember. We've had "works/doesn't work" cycles of that way back into FC2 era. I've no idea why it's so fragile.

Ah, the irony. For the first time since Synaptics has just worked for me (out of the box so to say) it doesn't with kernel-2.6.14-1.1767_FC4

Dave, I suppose I should Bugzilla this? Sure. That hardware has been a thorn in my side since I can remember. We've had "works/doesn't work" cycles of that way back into FC2 era. I've no idea why it's so fragile.

Thank you! Thank you! I tried it on my Acer Ferrari 4005 laptop and it recognized the Synaptics touchpad while the previous kernels didn't. My ipw2200 adapter on the laptop also works out of the box with WPA due to the updated drivers :)

That's surprising since my Acer Ferrari 4005 never had a problem with the Synaptics touchpad on both FC4, FC5t1 and Rawhide. Did have to boot with i8042.nomux no_timer_check though. Maybe you could try that. Ipw2200 on an Acer Ferrari 4005? Mine has a Broadcom chip and according to the Acer website all Ferrari 4005 models have that. Don't know how you got an Intel wireless chipset on an AMD motherbord :P I wasn't aware of the boot parameter to get synaptics touchpad. Does your touch pad work without the parameter?

I ditched the default broadcom wireless NIC and bought Intel 2915 ABG mini-pci adapter for $29. Works great ;-)

While we are on the subject of the Acer Ferrari 4005 - has anyone got the battery meter to work ?

While we are on the subject of the Acer Ferrari 4005 - has anyone got the battery meter to work ? Battery does not work on Ferrari 4005 with FC4 x86_64. I have filed a bug. This seems to be due to ACPI error.

Iirc Dave was not interested in adding > the patch to the kernel for support reasons [...] That's true afaik. But what IMHO is more important: Upstream doesn't want it, too. See: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9175150

Those that have problems with ACPI/DSDT IMHO should fill bugs in the kernel bugzilla to get the damn acpi interpreter fixed. Nothing is getting better in the long term if everybody privately works around problems and uses a patched firmware without fixing the underlying problems.

Or convince the kernel developers that patching the dsdt is the best solution and that the dsdt-in-initrd-patch needs to be merged into the kernel. Maybe then it's getting enabled in Fedora.

To try and get a jump-start on testing 2.6.15, I've prepared packages for FC4 based on the current rawhide kernel. These are likely to change almost daily, and there's no guarantee how much longer 2.6.15 is going to be in -rc stage, so I'm going to hold off pushing these out as an official updates-testing release until a final 2.6.15 has been released. (Should a security errata be needed before then, I'll push out another 2.6.14 based release) http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4/ Please file bugs in bugzilla, rather than emailing me/this list about them.

Well, my report was not very accurate :-( On 12/17/05, Fabio Comolli <fabio.comolli(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > Hi Dave. > Booting this kernel prevents X to start on my laptop. > > It looks that /sys/class/input does not contain all the entries needed > (the laptop is an ancient HP Omnibook equipped with a synaptics touchpad). /sys/class/input is OK, the problem is in /dev/input. With my 2.6.15-rc5 with evdev compiled as module /dev/input looks like: [fcomolli@tycho ~]$ ls -l /dev/input/ total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 64 Dec 17 2005 event0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 65 Dec 17 2005 event1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Dec 17 2005 mice with 2.6.14-1.1768_FC4 there is only the "mice" entry (and this is what pointed my to evdev). BTW, there is another minor problem: kernel 2.6.14-1.1768_FC4 boots in verbose mode even with the "quiet" boot option set.
