I recently fired up my son's Wallstreet II G3/266 Powerbook and applied the updates for v10.2 to bring it current.? Unfortunately,

I'm using the same PowerBook for compiling the Packman 10.3 packages.

I've run back into a problem with the backlight of the system.?

When exactly occurs the problem? I do have a problem after Suspend2RAM, most time the backlight keeps blank. It helps to use the brightness down or up bottom (if you have used 100% brightness before suspend, you have to use the down buttom). I've added a little script to set the brightnes to 80% in the pbbuttons process which is executed after wakeup. Do you use pbbuttons or pmud? I'm using pbbuttons. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

Not a clue what I am using. Whatever the stock stuff that opensuse

Take a look at the runlevel editor.

install is being used. It doesn't matter what I am doing. I had started it and switched to init 3 to do some file maintenance and it ended up blanking out in the middle of something. it just literally goes out no matter what I do. You could be surfing the net and leave it inactive for a minute and then it's out. I use this on my BootX command line:

video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:32.mclk:71

I'm using video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:8 hda=autotune root=/dev/hda9 resume=/dev/hda8 splash=silent showopts

Got that from Olaf a long time ago. Seems to make the video work properly with those settings. And, I used the exact same settings under v10.0 with no problems.

On another note, what processor are you using? I am looking to upgrade this to a G4/500 in the hops that it will play movies(xvids and stuff) properly. I had a G3/466 and it was too slow. I use MPlayer for video playing. Thanx

I'm using the originial G3/266 MHz. I've tried to add a Upgrade card about four years ago and killed the PowerBook. I've repared it in October (bought another by eBay and got both to work ;-) ). I've much better framerates in xine based players then in MPlayer. Video-CD's work, DivX/mp4 up to 500x300 work fine, S-VCD, DVB-T recordings or Video-DVD's cost to much CPU power... -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

What am I looking for? I've never messed with that stuff before. Never had any reason to. I did stop powersaved, but that didn't make any difference. Interestingly enough, it was on all night last night after I ran a movie on it and let it sit, but after shutdown, restart and leaving it set today, it's off again.....

You should take a look if you use pmud or pbbuttonsd. Powersaved can not handle PMU directly, but pmud and pbbuttonsd do have a APM compatiblitiy layer which can be used by powersaved.

I never cared for Xine. I've been using Mplayer for about 2 years now. d/l, compile and forget. Plays pretty much everything.

And no Updates until now? I hope, you do not whatch files out of the internet... Add Packman to your installsource, and keep it up to date. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

pbbuttonsd is running. pmud isn't installed. I'm looking at my install to see if I can add it. Which on do you use?

I'm using pbbuttonsd.

Actually, I have a copy of SuSE v9.1 on my Dell Dual Xeon 500 that I still use, and it has an old copy of MPlayer and I have the plugin for Firefox, and it seems to work fine with most things even now.

It's not a question of supported formats, but have you ever heard about security? -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
