Title: Important Fix For Oz 3.5.4-rc Need Testing
Post by: Hrw on November 21, 2005, 01:40:02 pm

OpenZaurus 3.5.3 contained ugly hack in gpe-image for collie (sl-5500/5000) machines: killing APM daemon with X11 startup. It was needed at that time to get system working.

But it is not probably needed anymore since r21 kernel which fixed APM problems. I'm not using GPE on my collie so my fast test is not something which I trust enough to know does it is OK.

What is to test? GPE image from OpenZaurus 3.5.4-RC (or even OZ 3.5.3 with r21 kernel). You have (as root) edit /etc/X11/Xserver file and remove two lines from it:

Code: [Select]

# Horrible hack required to enable resuming after suspend
rm -f /dev/apm_bios
killall -9 apmd
What this will give? Working APM daemon == USB Networking working after suspend/resume, if alarms didn't worked before then they should work now etc..

Note this is only required for collie machines, as the section in question was in a switch/case concerning the machine type.

Yes it does work. NB: I'm using a OE self-built image and kernel, not a release.
