moin, moin,

ran the battery down too far during the presentation last night ( BTW, we
have 3 new volunteers to help with west side activities! Look for and help
build a stronger community on the west side ), so the laptop had to be
booted today.

That finally got me around to looking into getting pcmcia working. I had
removed pcmcia support at installtime. Yeah, a foolish thing to do on a
laptop. I only need pcmcia for wireless and have thus far used Knoppix
anytime I needed to use wireless. Well, finally looked into it today. Took
about 5 minutes to figure out which modules to load.

Feeling that that wasn't good enough, I went on to install the pre-packaged
2.6 kernel from debian. X wouldn't start after that. Interesting, I thought.
Turns out I now need the psmouse kernel module. Cool got that fixed.

Sound wasn't working. Found the modules for that.

Then when I was leaving the music kept playing after I shut the laptop.
Ooops, apm isn't working. The apm module actually refuses to load as it
thinks I'm missing something. I'll look into it some other time.

I added sysfs, but /sys/power/state didn't allow me to change state.

ciao,

der.hans
