Found a "bug" that might help in figuring out the fb0 problem, might not.

May:/home/james# /etc/init.d/x-server stop
/etc/init.d/x-server: line 44: /root/debs/fb_update/fb_update_mode: No such file or directory

Yes .... it's going to be a long and hopefully enjoyable weekend.

Sorry, the thing on the wiki about outputting to fb0 not working is old news. I fixed this, but didn't really document it. The fb_update_mode stuff in the x-server init script was put there by me, and as you noticed, not working, but I only discovered it was broken after release. I don't think it really makes that much of a difference, though switching to "fb_update_mode manual" *may* reduce tearing under X. If you run /etc/init.d/x-server stop it *should* leave you at a working console on vt1.

For anyone having problems with wireless: Are you running a diablo kernel? And if *someone* with wireless problems could please post their /var/log/messages it would really help me figure out what's going on. As it is, I'm at somewhat of a loss because it works for me...

As for bluetooth, it should work exactly the way you would expect in a normal debian system, so if you can find a howto for debian, just follow that.

I'm just running the normal OS2008 kernel, not Diablo.

@Capn_Fish: Try this:

Code:

 rmmod cx3110x ; insmod /root/modules/cx3110x.ko

@Anyone with wireless problems: Even if you don't see any errors, I'd still like to see your *whole* /var/log/messages as I believe the problem might be some type of race condition earlier in the boot process. Debian comes with a patched, recompiled cx3110x.ko w/ WEXT18+ support and so my boot scripts unload the OS2008 one and load the patched Debian one. If this is failing for some reason, wireless won't work right.

No joy.

Relevant and repeating section of /var/log/messages:

Code:

I'll get the whole thing up when it finishes pastebinning.

EDIT: Another potentially relevant part:

Code:

Where would I put an xmodmap file to make it be loaded at the same time X starts? I've tried ~/.Xmodmap, /etc/X11/Xmodmap, and putting it in ~/.xsession (which caused X not to start).

Thank you.

Another update on the wireless front: When I try to modprobe arc4, it says unknown symbol. Perhaps this is related to the issue?

Run dmesg after trying to insert the module. More info can be found there.

Here's my dmesg after doing the manual cx3100x switch and trying to modprobe arc4 (no wireless attempts or anything): http://pastebin.com/m6001e7b4

If I can get wireless working, this will be REALLY awesome.
