Sound, framebuffer and keyboard problems with a Toshiba 2410
Hi there,
I am a quite happy user of a toshiba 2410 under debian for more than
a year now. Most things work quite well, but some don't, and I fail to
see any way to resolve them on the internet.
Mostly because of the great ACPI support, I am using a 2.6.4 kernel
(standart sources from kernel.org, no patch). I have some problems,
which can be annoying:
- I am using alsa for the sound. But there seems to be a problem:
when the kernel modprobe the modules, it says something like
" MC'97 1 converters and GPIO not ready (0xf200)
Apr 27 08:54:05 gabou-laptop kernel: intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock:
measured 49419 usecs
Apr 27 08:54:05 gabou-laptop kernel: intel8x0: clocking to 48000"
Does someone know what the first line means ?
- I am trying to use the framebuffer. I know it works, because when
I tried a Gentoo, it booted in a nice 1024x768 console. Which modules do
I have to use for that ? Last time I try nvidia.ko from the frame buffer
modules directory, it stopped my laptop :( Can I use it with the
binary-only driver ? (the open source driver seems to poorly support my
chipset, which is a Geforce 4 for laptop)
- I have a lot of messages like this one:
"Apr 27 09:19:25 gabou-laptop kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed
(translated set 2, code 0x39 on isa0060/serio0).
Apr 27 09:19:25 gabou-laptop kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 39
<keycode>' to make it known."
I know there is a problem with keyboard on Toshiba laptop, but didn't
find anything useful on this error message, and if it appears while I am
in a console (ie no in X), it can 'disable' the keyboard, which forces
me to reboot the laptop :(
Thank you very much,
David
