I'm in Sydney and mythtv won't record Channel 9 or Go! even after channel scan. I needed to update the dtv_multiplex to the correct frequency:

update dtv_multiplex set frequency=191625000 where frequency=191500000;

My legs are just too huge!

This is my very first post... testing 1.. 2.. 3..

I'm now in Hong Kong hanging out with Jessica, trying to get all the bits and pieces ready for my trip (only small things like booking my flights from Hong Kong.. eek).

Jessica has organised a surprise trip for the next few days to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaka to try and catch the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura (or cherry blossom), should be loads of fun.

Bluetooth

The power to the bluetooth adaptor must be enabled before the operating system can see the device.

There are two potential solutions, both of which at present (2.6.22) require patching /drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.c
1) This patch from http://memebeam.org/free-software/toshiba_acpi/ applies against 2.6.22. This will enable an emulated /dev/toshiba using the toshiba_acpi module. You will then be able to do:

#  toshset -bluetooth on

2) Add the bluetooth dev to the toshiba_acpi module. http://www.sfires.net/toshiba/. I have not tested this method, as the above worked.

Sound

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=basic

Suspend to Ram

Doesn't work. Tried:

With framebuffer:

# s2ram -f
# s2ram -f -a 1
# s2ram -f -a 2
# s2ram -f -a 3
# s2ram -f -p -s
# s2ram -f -s
# s2ram -f -p
# s2ram -f -a 1 -s

Without framebuffer (vga=0):

# s2ram -f

TrackPad

See X config

X

The exisiting section in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
EndSection

Add some extra config lines:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
        Option          "SHMConfig"             "true"
        Option          "MinSpeed"              "0.2"
        Option          "MaxSpeed"              "1.2"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.05"
