Hi all I a few minor nuissance after upgrading my crux install and was hoping anybody can provide a way to debug. 1. After upgrading my kernel, ACPI sleep no longers puts my computer to sleep. the moon LED will just flicker and turns off completely. It used to work with crux 2.3 kernel 2.6.22. Downgrading my kernel is not an option anymore due to the sata driver change. 2. Bluetooth dongle used to work in crux-2.3. The bluez release has also change so I am guessing it's somewhere in there is the problem 3. Brightness changes from 100% to dim when you switch from X to a virtual terminal and back. I have been tracking a bug report in kernel.org and I believe that a fix will be released in 2.6.29. Computer type: Lenovo 3000 notebook Video : intel i915 Please note that these are mostly just some stuff I noticed. I haven't really had the inclination to do any deep debugging, except for a bit googling in case some else has noticed this types of problems before. thanks fernan -- http://www.fernski.com

It used to work with crux 2.3 kernel 2.6.22. Well, keep in mind that CRUX doesn't provide you with kernels, so chances are you'd have the same problem with 2.3 when using a current kernel. Don't forget that 2.6.22 was released over 1.5 years ago [1]! So there were literally thousands of chances that might affect this subsystem.
2. Bluetooth dongle used to work in crux-2.3. The bluez release has also change so I am guessing it's somewhere in there is the problem Well, you don't even state here that it doesn't work anymore, just that it did on CRUX 2.3... we can probably guess that it doesn't, but your chances to find someone to help you are a lot better if you provide a clear report what the problem is (what do you want to do, what did you expect, what happened instead?).
Questions here are: - do you have an appropriate hciX device in the hciconfig listing? -> if no, it's probably a kernel (configuration) problem, for example missing modules (IIRC the lenovo laptops mostly use the HCI USB driver) -> if yes, you'll most likely get some errors messages when you try to do what worked on 2.3... these error messages would be very helpful to diagnose the problem. Also check the kernel messages Regards, Johannes References: 1. http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=jul&d1=8&y1=2007&m2=1&d2=23&y2=2009 -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

On my thinkpad, I had some acpi issues in 2.6.25, up to 2.6.28. I used a tool called pm-utils to help the laptop sleep: http://crux.nu/Wiki/Pm-utils Maybe this is worth trying out on your thinkpad.
It used to work with crux 2.3 kernel 2.6.22. [...]
