<0> well ill be back soon
<0> gotta install the horrible excuse of an operating system
<1> huh
<1> ohh noes
<1> dont do it
<0> going to a buddies house for Lan
<0> and dont feel like struggling with cs:s
<1> damn CS noobs
<0> I like cs :P
<0> i have 1.6 running fine on linux, but I dont feel like screwing with source
<0> well im off to install: NaziSoft Winblows Excretion
<2> hello there
<2> anyone knows what can i do if after kernel 2.6.12 i have boot times of over 70secs? before it was 20-30secs
<3> my kernel is magically remembering an mtu report from a remote machine
<3> how do I make it forget it?
<4> hi
<4> I am doing framebuffer_alloc(bytes, pdev->dev) and then pci_resource_start(pdev,0) and I am getting oops "Unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff88005060 RIP"
<5> really?
<6> how would i write data to a device when I am in kernel mode
<6> say an arbitrary device
<5> depends what you mean by kernel mode, kernel version & what device
<5> ie how long is a piece of string :)
<6> 2.6 kernel.. I would like to modify the keyboard driver so that it writes data to /dev/mouse for certain keys
<5> ahh ok look at the code under kernel hacking for sysrq
<5> that specifically does some special things like that & might give you a hint on how too hack it out
<6> drivers/char/sysrq.c?
<5> not certain, I just remember where it is in menuconfig so I can enable it
<5> I use sysrq a lot :)
<6> well I figure the worst case is I have to make a new device that the keyboard also writes to that is mouse data
<6> I really need a second computer so I can load these modules on and off remotely...
<5> I thought mouse was input only as well though?
<5> wot you wanting it too do keyboard joystick?
<6> well I don't care about the actualy mouse
<6> a keyboard mouse
<6> is there something already for this?
<5> been done already I think
<5> I vaguely recall seeing it
<5> not sure where though
<6> it has been done for X11
<6> but I need it in the console
<5> yup most handy in console :)
<6> I'm using 80x25 now
<6> but I have two monitors :-P
<5> crap hardware==not enough ram too run x
<6> even if you can run x...
<5> you might be right, might have been some x thing I saw though
<6> yeah, I have it working really well in x...
<5> but the sysrq code might give you some clue on how too capture keyboard events
<6> so my plan is to modify the keyboard driver so it writes data to a device and gpm reads from that
<5> yup sounds nice :)
<6> yeah, I don't know how to easily test it
<6> I would have to reboot every time right?
<5> especially if you can enable/disable it with one keypress
<6> since it won't be a module
<6> oh
<5> nope
<6> like numlock
<5> make it a module
<6> how can I make it a module?
<6> it's the keyboard driver, it's required
<5> better yet use the capslock too enable it :)
<5> it's useless otherwise
<6> unless you are writing COBOL
<6> I have mine swapped with ctrl
<5> my caps lock key is holding the ram in on my PIII :)
<6> nice
<5> only good use I could find for it at the time
<6> I have no other working computers than this one
<6> unfortunately
<5> means it powers up properly everyime now & doesn't switch off if you bump it
<6> well I have a sparc, but it needs a serial console, so...
<6> so.. how would I make this a module?
<5> yes exactly :)
<5> I'm no coder :)
<6> oh no!
<5> I'm only here for the comic relief value
<6> I don't see how it can be a module since it's the keyboard
<6> i'm not much of a coder
<6> I just pretend to write programs
<5> hehehe sounds like me :)
<6> so I'm using links, irssi, and emacs, in dual output console mode
<6> I tried to explain to people I can't click on their urls that have images in them
<5> images? What images? I use lynx :)
<5> although one day I'll reconfigure my notebooks to function with zgv
<6> I had them working with svga lib, but it is broken now
<6> mplayer works though
<5> so did I on my desktop years ago before I become homeless
<5> hmm If I tried mplayer my PIII would probably overheat & die
<5> it does it I try too run Mozilla on it
<5> well it runs mozilla for a little while
<6> where do you live then?
<5> then it runs out ram n screws up the mouse on console so I avoid using it.
<6> I'm a level above you I have a p4
<5> In my beast
<5> thats currently missing 5 axle studs making it non-movable
<6> you can still use low resolutions...
<6> I watched a movie with mplayer on a 300mhz once
<5> hmm
<6> by setting it at like 320x240
<5> I'd like it too use tv-out I have & display on my 7"screen instead
<6> and re-encoding it to a format that is faster to play
<6> but might take 7 hours to do
<5> hehehe
<6> laptop?
<5> sounds like me trying too listen too audio on my p132
<5> two notebooks
<6> you don't need much for audio
<5> the PIII has a 60gig drive in it & acts as a server too the stable box running this irssi client
<6> so, are you inside a building right now? or outside?
<5> no but the ethernet card in it is attrocious
<5> yeah visiting family whgile I try n get a replacement axle
<6> replacement axle?
<5> when it's fixed back off too the bush n no more net access :)
<6> where is the bush? I am interested now
<5> yup complete diff/axle ***embly was buggered by toyota during a regular lube service
<5> chewing out tyres as a result
<6> I think it's cool to get everywhere by walking
<5> zok if you can
<5> but I usually live about 7thousand k's from nearest person when I'm vush
<5> arrgh bush
<5> anyway this dun fix your prob sorry
<6> you can get satillite internet
<5> best bet for writing such a driver would be too subscribe too the appropriate mailing list & ask for tips
<5> $100 a month more then I can afford
<6> yeah
<5> geckosenator: better yet would be a tought provoked mouse driver via keyboard, serial or lpt port :)
<5> also I believe a kernel driver is not the way too go, I believe making it a coplete user area thing ala gpm would be better
<5> but thats just my opinion
<6> thought provoked?
<6> I don't know if it's possible in user space
<6> if I could do it that way I would
<5> you think up n mouse cursor goes up, etc :)
<6> I can't do this
<5> hehehe sorry
<6> I don't think there is a way I can get the keyboard input and have it go to the mouse moving before typing without being in kernel level
<5> I say that because ps2 often piggy backs on keyboard plugs, etc
<5> gpm must strip out the mouse codes sumhow
<5> especially on notebooks with only one ps2 port which has too make do for keyboard & mouse via a y adapter
<5> if it can be done in x, no doubt it can be done in user space
<5> I just dont know how sorry
<5> not very helpful am I?
<6> oh
<6> that is a good idea
<6> I should investigate if ps/2 for mouse and keyboard are actually separate
<6> maybe they are not
<6> but that would only work for a ps2 keyboard
<6> well I did cat /dev/psaux
