I just got my thinkpad, and I'm close to having it more or less working. IBM TP560, Megahertz XJ4336 modem, 3C589D ethernet. I've managed to get the modem to work...or at least I've managed to get pccardd to see it. Haven't gotten far enough to worry about actually USING it. :-) The ethernet card won't go though. In fact there are a couple of things I haven't been able to understand. I'm running a 5-July 2.2 SNAP off of releng22.freebsd.org, so I've got Nate's 3C589D patches. Here's the PCCARD entry I have thus far: card "3Com Corporation" "3c589D" config 0x1 "ep0" ? insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 -link0 link1 remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete ...so I have some questions on this. First of all, it doesn't work and I'm not sure how to tell why -- I get 'driver allocation failed for...' on this. Things I note: * When I did this without pccardd, it worked with a static zp0 driver. The zp driver has 'iomen 0xd8000' in it...I'm not sure if that has any significance here. * Why shouldn't I be using zp0 above? * Why can't I make this work? I have ep0 in the kernel config file, but I'm not sure I need it. I don't understand how this stuff is working together yet. Also, in another vein...I've almost got X working, but it can't find my modem. That doesn't work because when it boots up, it tells me 'psm0 disabled, not probed'. I get the same action on apm0. lpt0 just isn't found, which is also curious since I see a parallel port on the back of this thing. Ideas on why these things don't probe? I looked for interrupt conflicts but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Massive progress made since last night. With a little help from Nate I've got networking going, I've found the mouse, I've compiled a kernel with apm in it (though I haven't fiddled with that yet) and I've got an X login screen with XFree86-3.3. This is cool! I have a feeling I'd best write down everything I've done soon, the pccard stuff wasn't completely documented -- or at least I didn't quite find the stuff at kindergarten- level that I needed to figure it out. :-) Anyway, I'm standing in front of the last hurdle, X. I wandered the linux laptop page and found this site: http://www-lj.eb.com/~tdarugar/docs/tp560.html This guy has Linux running on a Thinkpad 560 with the TFT screen and it's working really well for him. With XFree86-3.3, you don't need the cy9382 program to get the BIOS stuff right, it just works. Anyway, at this URL there's an XF86Config file for XF86-3.3 that seems to work great. Anyway, here we are at the final hurdle. When I try to log in from the xdm banner, it attempts to get in, I get that "hound's tooth" pattern across the top of the screen, then wham, back to the login banner. Switching to a vt console shows that xsm dumped core. I don't know anything about xsm, I've never needed to! I installed XF86-3.3 from the ports tree. I'm at a bit of a loss for how to proceed. Any suggestions? Has anyone else tried 3.3? I also tried grabbing xsm from my desktop station, which is running 3.2. Same problem, xsm dumped core again.

I stumbled on this on my tp365: you have a zero length .Xauthority file and xsm is core dumping. I think I did something with xuath to initialize the file, but I forget. Maybe copy one from another system. You could just try "startx" instead of using xdm, which may be OK unless you need xauth style authorization.

Yea, startx worked, and I don't remember now for sure but it seems like there was some complaining abou xauth or something in .xsession-errors. I didn't see the connection, though, so I ignored it...sigh, maybe the wrong thing to do. At any rate, I've pulled 'XSERVER' out of my kernel. Everything still works, so this wasn't the answer. But it's working for now, I wonder if I can cause this to happen again when I add another user. I've got one more of these Thinkpads to build, by the time I'm done I should have a pretty good start on a FAQ.

I have tried numerous things i have tried every possible address correction in -c visual, and at the suggestion of someone in the newsgroups even disabled all the cards in there. I have reinstalled several times and recompiled the PAO kernel both automatically thru /stand/sysinstall and manually thru /stand/PAO.... Normally i wouldve given up by now and figured my card wouldnt work, except it looks for IC-CARD which is what every other os has found my card as, and it did the ftp install. something is wrong in my kernel, i have hassled people on irc, i have posted to newsgroups, i have written to every email address in the pao page, and every email addy in the documentation on PAO and PC-CARD. Ive read thru the handbook. I am at my wits end and was about to reload linux which runs the card without a hitch , but i dont like nearly as much all the way around, when i got a mail from a guy who told me to subscribe here. This sounds like the most likely place in which to get help, I am beginning to feel all alone with this problem and that there is no solution. hehehe well write if u need more details or have any suggestions, thanks ken From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed Jul 9 13:01:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA04720 for mobile-outgoing; Wed, 9 Jul 1997 13:01:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sag.space.lockheed.com (sag.space.lockheed.com [192.68.162.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA04709 for ; Wed, 9 Jul 1997 13:01:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost by sag.space.lockheed.com; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/21Nov95-0423PM) id AA14580; Wed, 9 Jul 1997 13:01:08 -0700 Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 13:01:08 -0700 (PDT) From: "Brian N.

It seems like since you were able to boot off it this should be a good sign. When you put the card in and out of the pccard slot, what strings does it kick back in /var/log/messages? For both my modem and ethernet cards I was getting, say, '3Com Corporation' and '3C589D' back -- which didn't match anything in pccard.conf.sample. I edited a version, slapped it in, then got 'Device not allocated' or something like that. A bit more fiddling and the answer turned out to be I had to specify the IRQ it was using, then it worked fine. So, what sorts of errors are you getting?

I guess things aren't going too bad...I've helped [maybe] one guy towards getting X working, and have unsuccessfully talked Ken through his woes, now it's my turn again! Grrrr... Today's lesson is installing Win95. Pccardd was happily probing and finding my Megahertz and my 3C589D until I installed Win95 on the other partition today. I notice two things... 1. If I'm in windows, then do a warm reboot to FreeBSD, pccardd can't get the names of the cards anymore. They come up nulls, e.g. "". I have to do a cold reboot (shut the power off) to solve this. At least that's all I've come up with that works, I tried restarting pccardd and even warm-rebooting FreeBSD and that didn't seem to help. (Also removed the cards a couple times.) 2. Now Mr. Megahertz doesn't allocate anymore. I was using IRQ 10, but I notice Win95 sucessfully uses IRQ 3. I *don't* know if there is in fact a cause-effect relationship here...but it's not working anymore. I tried assigning IRQ 3 to the modem, and that doesn't seem to fix it. I'm taking notes. Eventually we'll have a heckuva FAQ!

In my playings-around, I had managed to comment out sio2 in my kernel and so when pccardd came around to assigning a driver, it couldn't. (Like, DUH!) Next I tried running apm. Whoa, kills laptops dead! I think I have more reading to do. So I'm once again happily pccardding. Now that this is fresh in my mind, let's take another look at Ken's problems... 1. Does /etc/pccard.conf exist? What does the entry for your network card look like? 2. Is pccardd running? Are you sure? 3. In the entry for #1 above, it gets assigned a driver. What driver is that, and did you compile it in your kernel *and* is it enabled? For example, for my 3C589D, I have this line: (among others) card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D" config 0x1 "ep0" 11 ==> So I had to enable the ep driver in my kernel. 4. If nothing is working, try this: kill pccardd, then invoke it from the command line with pccardd -d -v -f /etc/pccard.conf ...put the card in and out and see what the messages say. If it still doesn't work, send us some of the output from the above things. Hard to figure it out otherwise.

When I take it off the networks (it *is* a portable you know). It really won't even boot up correctly. It seems to me that what I need is a choice early in the boot up process of at least 2 sets of various config files. One would be for use on my LAN, and the other would be for free standing machine. Potentially I might need third for the network at work. Before I go forth to tackle this project I thought I would ask for the people on this lists thoughts on this subject. as anyone done this? Where in the boot process should I put this choice? Is there way to do this using BootEasy?

Your problem is that you haven't got the /etc/pccard.conf stuff configured correctly. NE2000 PCCARDs work; I should know, I have one and was responsible for the last little bit of fixing the driver required. Unfortunately, there isn't a central register of PCCARD IDs and so forth, and vendors tend to be a bit flaky about what they put in their cards, so there's a little work involved. Basically, you need to look at the two strings that are emitted by pccardd when it is complaining about your card and create an /etc/pccard.conf entry to match these strings. In your case, you will be looking at something like : card "LINKSYS" "" config "ed0" 0x10 The value should be the config index in the pccard that's marked as default, should be the IRQ you want to assign to the card, and should be the model identifier out of the CIS on the card. You will have to use 'pccardc -dumpcis' to get the CIS out of the card in the first place to extract this information.

You could do something like what I do - in pccard.conf I have nominated a handler script for ethernet card insertion which ifconfigs the interface in turn for each possible IP address it might be using on the each network it commonly gets connected to, each time attempting to ping the gateway. If it finds it, it brings up a default route and writes the correct resolv.conf file. The script is written (in Perl) to my specific requirements, but you could probably adapt it without too much trouble.

It's very hard to map what I know of the error messages onto your descriptions otherwise 8) You shouldn't be using the ifconfig_ed0 entry in /etc/rc.conf, you should be using the pccard section below. You _may_ have to add your default route by hand. Note that the pccard hasn't been detected when /etc/rc.network runs, so it can't possibvly assign an address to your card, or add a route via that address. If you read the pccard.conf(5) manpage, you will note that it descibes a script which can be invoked when the card is inserted and removed - you may need to use this to get your interface and routing right. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

I have not been able to get it to work. I use the XF86Setup program in /usr/X11R6/bin. I get the mouse to work. I set the keyboard generic 101 or WinBook XP5 which looks kind of like the TP. I set the card to cyber928x chipset and the rest of the stuff I leave at probed, I set the monitor to Extended SVGA with 640x480 and 800x600 support. Then when the the Setup launches the SVGA server it just goes completely white and hangs. I can telnet from another machine and kill the server with a -TERM then the screen is all messed up in text mode and I have to shutdown -r. BTW, this is 2.2.2-RELEASE from the PAO boot disk. The other problem I have is how to use the sb0 ESS AudioDrive sound support. During bootup I get: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa sb0: sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: I have a /dev/snd0 and a /dev/audio -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 178733 Jul 11 12:51 /dev/snd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Jul 11 14:12 /dev/audio -> audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 4 Jul 11 22:53 /dev/audio0 I got some .au files from the net and in Netscape Communicator on WinNT 4.0 the files sound clear and great. But if I do a: cat class1.au > /dev/audio it sounds terrible, with distortion and not at all what I would expect. I did a binary FTP of the sound files from the WinNT 4.0 machine to the FreeBSD TP. TIA and I really appreciate this list. I love FreeBSD and have been using it for about 4 years now. I also love it on the my new 560. richardl From owner-freebsd-mobile Sat Jul 12 05:03:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA03087 for mobile-outgoing; Sat, 12 Jul 1997 05:03:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hda.hda.com (hda-bicnet.bicnet.net [207.198.1.121]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA03082 for ; Sat, 12 Jul 1997 05:03:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dufault@localhost) by hda.hda.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA08426; Sat, 12 Jul 1997 07:19:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Peter Dufault Message-Id: <199707121119.HAA08426@hda.hda.com> Subject: Re: Two Problems with TP 560 -- sb0 and XFree86 In-Reply-To: <199707120613.XAA00274@voyager.ufp.com> from Richard Levenberg at "Jul 11, 97 11:13:22 pm" To: richardl@voyager.ufp.com (Richard Levenberg) Date: Sat, 12 Jul 1997 07:19:07 -0400 (EDT) Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL25 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk (X and sound problems on the TP 560) FWIW, for the TP365X I use this for the video chipset: > Section "Device" > Identifier "Trident TGUI9420DGi (generic)" > VendorName "Unknown" > BoardName "Unknown" > EndSection And this in the config for the ESS audio: > options SBC_IRQ=5 > > controller snd0 > device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr > device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 > device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 and both work fine (at least as much as I've used the audio by catting .au files on to it). -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.
