Re: laptop experiences...

["Bryan K. Walton" <walton@berbee.com>]

On a somewhat related note, after reading this thread (in which the tpctl package was mentioned), I decided to recompile my kernel yesterday, including the tpctl-source package.  So, I did so with kernel-package, along with the kernel-source, pcmcia-source, and alsa-source.  (I have a TP390X).  I compile my kernels using an epoch (ie: make-kpkg --revision 3:2.2.15-9 kernel_image, etc.).  However, I discovered yesterday that the tpctl-source package didn't like the colon.  It wouldn't compile as a module with the colon in there, but without the colon, it would compile fine.  Does anybody have any experience with this?  Is this something that should be reported to the maintainer, any ideas?

Thanks,
