I have a MacBook Pro that was happily running MacOS X, Red Hat EL 5 and Fedora 9. I wanted to install Red Hat El 5 64 bit, so I proceeded to replace my Fedora 9 with a new install of RHEL 64bit. All seemed to go well until reboot. Now, when it reboots, I get a square (I guess undefined OS) icon and the mac osx icon. If I select the square icon, it attempts to boot, then produces a 'no operating system' error. I can boot via the RH rescue disk and access all my filesystems. How do I fix refit? I've tried gptsync, but that does not fix the issue. When I list the partitions in the refit shell, the Linux partitions are listed as 'basic data', is it possible this is the problem? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. -- Until later, Geoffrey "I predict future happiness for America if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - Thomas Jefferson |

Hi, any idea of how I can get keyboard retroillumination to work on archlinux? According to this page https://wiki.edubuntu.org/MactelSupportTeam/PPA everything I need should be in the hal-applesmc pkg. I compiled the sources in hal-applesmc.deb (simply make; sudo make install) but could not get the thing working. Display retro-illumination works fine using a patched kernel. Keyboard light works with pommed or with sysfs. Yet gnome-power-manager doesn't seem to be associating the right action to F5 and F6. Any suggestion? Here some logs: gg@mercurio:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBookPro5,5 gg@mercurio:~$ uname -a Linux mercurio 2.6.32-rc6-custom #4 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 12 09:02:09 CST 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7550 @ 2.26GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux gg@mercurio:~$ ls /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight brightness device max_brightness power subsystem uevent gg@mercurio:~/devel/abs/hal-applesmc$ sudo make install Password: install -d "/usr/lib/hal" install -d "/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop" install -m 755 bin/hald-addon-generic-kbd-backlight bin/hald-addon-generic-light-sensor "/usr/lib/hal" install -m 644 fdi/10-applesmc.fdi "/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop" Pressing F5 XEV: FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x6200001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x6200001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 4294967292 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TI:17:27:43 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_filter_x_events,121 - Key 237 mapped to key kbd-illum-down TI:17:27:43 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,81 - emitting button-pressed : kbd-illum-down TI:17:27:43 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:gpm_manager_button_pressed_cb,748 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down TI:17:27:43 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:gpm_backlight_button_pressed_cb,346 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down Pressing F6 XEV: FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x6200001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x6200001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TI:17:27:25 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_filter_x_events,121 - Key 238 mapped to key kbd-illum-up TI:17:27:25 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,81 - emitting button-pressed : kbd-illum-up TI:17:27:25 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:gpm_manager_button_pressed_cb,748 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up TI:17:27:25 TH:0x8c32968 FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:gpm_backlight_button_pressed_cb,346 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up |

Hello, here i have an apple mac pro (1,1) quad xeon 5130. Soundcard is HDA-Intel, /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 unveils: Codec: Realtek ALC889A. My kernel is a 2.6.31 Sabayon. Sound Driver: 3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.20 emulation code) Although sound is mainly working the headphone jack at the front does not. Is there a way to get it work or is it just wasted time? fritz -- mailto: Fritz Neumann - nx0...@ya... |

Hello list,
I have been using the appletouch driver for more than a year now,
currently on linux 2.6.30. I noticed some time ago when trying to draw
something on gimp, that when you move your finger the cursor response is
not linear, but instead kind of "saw-tooth wave" shaped, across both X
and Y. Of course it is more noticeable if your 'sensitivity' setting on
X is high, but it is always there. Just to be clear, when you try to
draw a diagonal line, for example a 45 deg line, you end up with a
zig-zag shape, no matter how straight you slide your finger.
I did not know anything about how the trackpad works until now, and
I am not completely sure, but the number of 'jumps' of the response
pattern seems to match the number of sensor elements for both X and Y,
10x20 in my case (05ac:021b Apple, Inc Internal Keyboard/Trackpad).
I tried on O$X it seems to work fine. I believe that there is
something in the algorithm, perhaps in the atp_calculate_abs function,
that is not totally correct, at least for this trackpad type.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Regards
--

hello! i recently bought an external 22" LCD monitor, which is connected to my macbook2,1 by using DVI. when i try to switch off the display on the macbook, either by using some graphical tools (e.g. the gnome one) or by using xrandr --output LVDS --off the external monitor starts to flicker. you can see this effect on this youtube video [1]. does anyone of you have experienced the same issue or can give me some tips how to resolve it? thanks a lot! best regards, daniel [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0fIacaO-_U -- this mail was sent using 100% recycled electrons ================================================ daniel g. siegel <dgs...@gm...> http://home.cs.tum.edu/~siegel gnupg key id: 0x6EEC9E62 fingerprint: DE5B 1F64 9034 1FB6 E120 DE10 268D AFD5 6EEC 9E62 encrypted email preferred |

Hey! that works fine. Thanks very much Alex. For posterity the process on my non-pro2,1 goes something like this: #<Boot EFI shell> #<spend 30 minutes finding the page break switch for help :) > Shell>help -b #<cd to a writable partition (I had booted from a refit CD, so fs0 was the disk, fs1 was the 100MB efi partition)> Shell>fs1: fs1:\> #<dump the nvram variable> fs1:\>dmpstore SystemAudioVolume -s sav.txt #<edit the the dumped variable with a hexeditor (probably wiser to keep the original dump and edit a copy)> fs1:\>hexedit save.txt #<load the new nvram variable> fs1:\>dmpstore SystemAudioVolume -l sav.txt #<exit to refit and reboot> fs1:\>exit Enjoy the BONGless restart. So for a while it wasn't apparent what value to change with the hexeditor, and tbh, not being familiar with any hexeditor, I'm not sure I got it right. Further experimentation indicates I may have just borked it, but apparently that also serves to make it shut up. The files (now back in Debian) look like this: $ cat SystemAudioVolume.txt $SystemAudioVolumeaC|*��K���A�\��q <-with no newline $ hexdump -C SystemAudioVolume.txt 00000000 24 00 00 00 53 00 79 00 73 00 74 00 65 00 6d 00 |$...S.y.s.t.e.m.| 00000010 41 00 75 00 64 00 69 00 6f 00 56 00 6f 00 6c 00 |A.u.d.i.o.V.o.l.| 00000020 75 00 6d 00 65 00 00 00 10 61 43 7c 2a ab bb 4b |u.m.e....aC|*..K| 00000030 a8 80 fe 41 99 5c 9f 82 07 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 |...A.\..........| 00000040 71 |q| 00000041 (In hexedit.efi the 00000041 line did not appear.) Since running dmpstore SystemAudioValume by itself returned output something like: 00000: 71 "q" I took a guess and replaced the 71 with Alex's 80 getting: $ hexdump -C SystemAudioVolume80.txt 00000000 24 00 00 00 53 00 79 00 73 00 74 00 65 00 6d 00 |$...S.y.s.t.e.m.| 00000010 41 00 75 00 64 00 69 00 6f 00 56 00 6f 00 6c 00 |A.u.d.i.o.V.o.l.| 00000020 75 00 6d 00 65 00 00 00 10 61 43 7c 2a ab bb 4b |u.m.e....aC|*..K| 00000030 a8 80 fe 41 99 5c 9f 82 07 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 |...A.\..........| 00000040 80 |.| 00000041 Which turned off the bong and I'm happy. But for kicks I also tried 32 (for 25% more BONG) $ hexdump -C sav.txt 00000000 24 00 00 00 53 00 79 00 73 00 74 00 65 00 6d 00 |$...S.y.s.t.e.m.| 00000010 41 00 75 00 64 00 69 00 6f 00 56 00 6f 00 6c 00 |A.u.d.i.o.V.o.l.| 00000020 75 00 6d 00 65 00 00 00 10 61 43 7c 2a ab bb 4b |u.m.e....aC|*..K| 00000030 a8 80 fe 41 99 5c 9f 82 07 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 |...A.\..........| 00000040 32 |2| 00000041 But that also gave me silence, so I think I'm doing it 'wrong.' However reloading the original (71) file did bring back the bonging. So I don't think any of this is particularly dangerous for those who may want to here the noise again someday. :) |

Now keep in mind these options are obsolete with grub2 you have to use the new gfxpayload option. at first seemed difficult but really not that bad. firstly you need to create the *.pf2 for the fonts http://grub.enbug.org/gfxterm then tell grub where it is. i.g. cat grub.cfg ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### # below is how you setup the font for the screen during boot. # do a google search plenty of info insmod font loadfont (hd0,3)/pathtowhatever*.pf2youhave/unifont.pf2 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe set gfxmode=1900x1200x256 #still uncertain on how to set this terminal_output gfxterm ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.31-rc8" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,3) set gfxpayload=keep #important so once you load this kernel the screen has good font search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 43dc53e1-195c-4221-afc1-991e762848f1 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-rc8 root=/dev/sda3 ro audit=1 selinux=1 enforcing=0 } remember that this is fairly new so hopefully your screen size is supported.

Hi there, I've become quite fed up with the terrible console resolution I get on my MacBook2,1 and thought it was time to give framebuffer drivers another go. Looks like uvesafb [1] is the standard nowadays, but I haven't been able to make it work. I have installed the daemon part (v86d, from the Debian package), and tried to modprobe the module with various resolutions as an option, such as: modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1280x800 Unfortunately, I always get the following output, and no success: uvesafb: Intel Corporation, Intel(r) 82945GM Chipset Family Graphics Controller, Hardware Version 0.0, OEM: Intel(r) 82945GM Chipset Family Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS, VBE v3.0 uvesafb: VBIOS/hardware supports DDC2 transfers uvesafb: monitor limits: vf = 60 Hz, hf = 49 kHz, clk = 71 MHz uvesafb: scrolling: redraw uvesafb: abort, cannot ioremap 0x600000 bytes of video memory at 0x40000000 uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -5 Can anyone share a resolution that works, or give hints as to which FB driver to try and how?

I finally managed to boot a recent kernel on my MacBook2,1 (before that, I was stuck with 2.6.25.14 for ages). My problem happened to be lilo itself. The "large-memory" option did not help, and it was not until I replaced lilo with grub2 (using the 'grub-pc' Debian package) that I could boot something fresh (2.6.30). Though the thread is pretty old, I thought I'd share the enthusiasm, and mark the issue as closed.

Did you try to resync the partition tables via gptsync from rEFIt?

I researched updating my osx to snow leopard. Seems I've successfully upgraded, but in the process, my Red Hat Linux will no longer boot. The disk utility under osx shows all the partitions, but if I boot with a Liux rescue disk, fdisk shows only a gpt partition, and says to us gparted. Of course, gparted does not come with any of the rescue solutions (fedora 11, red hat 5.3). So, the question is, how do I recover my Linux partitions? I seem to recall that I had to use gparted to create my Linux partitions, but can't find my references to that effort. Regarding the snow leopard upgrade, the instructions I found said to resize the osx partition using gparted from Linux so that there was 128 mb of free space following it. When I ran gparted, it would not permit me to resize the osx partition, so I shrunk the partition that followed the osx partition and left the free space in front of the 'shrunk' partition, thus giving my 128 mb space after the osx partition. This appeared to permit the upgrade to snow leopard to run, but following the completion of the upgrade, I've lost my Linux install. Any suggestions as to how to recover these would be greatly appreciated. I backed up everything, but hate to think that I'm looking at a reinstall of Red Hat. -- until later, Geof |

Ok, try to make a picture with a camera ;-)
And I'm still missing the specs of your tries.
Ok, you have an MBP 4,1.
Which boot-loader?
Which kernel version?
Which kernel config?
Any special kernel options?
Are you using rEFIt?
Do you have any success with older kernels?
