Linux and ACPI for Lenovo. not specific to crux

Hi all I was wondering if any of you guys have a lenovo notebook running linux. I recently bought a lenovo, to replace my very old toshiba. The toshiba had allowed me to set most of the power management stuff through the BIOS so I simply enabled only the very basic ACPI in my kernel. Now the lenovo's BIOS is not very extensive. Now I need help understanding, what options to enable in my kernel or can I just trust the BIOS that it is actually doing the right power management? I just want the notebook to run as long and as cool as possible. I mostly connect to a plan9 for most of the cpu extensive stuff so running the system hot is not necessary to get the best performance. Can sombody suggest which ACPI options to activate in the kernel ( example: cpu scalling, etc ) A starting point would be great, because I have ignored most of the ACPI stuff for so long that I dont know were to start. thanks Fernan

I've modified one of the vmware workstation ports to create a vmware-player port. If anyone is interested let me know where I can send it so it can become part of contrib or opt.

Installing CRUX on 2nd HDD
by Pawel Wielgus 11 Nov '07

Dear CRUXers, I need your advice before I proceed with a new installation of CRUX 2.3 I have an older CRUX on /dev/sda, under which I'm currently working. Then I have a second HDD, which can be mounted using USB cable as /dev/sdb. How can I install CRUX2.3 on /dev/sdb (through USB cable), working under /dev/sda at the same time? I imagine I should chroot to CRUX2.3 install CD, and then proceed as in a normal installation. By I'm not sure how to properly chroot to CD. Can you give me any hints? I cannot attach both HDD's at the same time as IDE devices - it's a notebook. Also it's too simple to exchange HDD's for installation :) I appreciate any help, Pawel

Hi! Tilan, please update ports/crux-2.4/opt/libpng from 1.2.22 to 1.2.23 1.2.22 is not available at the given source, once a new one is out. (ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/$name/png/src/$name-$version.tar.bz2 For the sake of consistency and ease of maintenance I would prefer having sources which will stay valid for a while, even when new versions are out...
