xmms2

As everyone knows,xmms is a great audio player,except it depends on gtk+,so I turned to bmp which depends on gtk+-2.0.But letting bmp to play flac is diffculty,so I choosed bmpx.
At first,bmpx satisfied me,until version 3.
1.compiling bmpx take 99% of my memory!you know,I have 1GB ram,it sucks!
2.shout cast or something is cool,BUT,I did,do,and will never need that!But everytime bmpx tries to access the stupid network address that I cat not connect to from my network in order to get information about shout cast which makes bmpx's starting up take at least 5 minutes!What's more,bmpx does not provide an option to close the sucking function until a recent version.
So,now I give bmpx up and get xmms2,a C/S audio player.I can choose different clients as I wish to communicate with the xmms2 server,it's cool.

hdaps now works

At last I found an hdaps protect patch for kernel 2.6.20,patch it:

#patch -p1 < /path/to/hdaps_protect-2.6.20.patch

remember to compile hdaps as a module
then install the tp_smapi with hdaps support:

#USE="hdaps" emerge tp_smapi
#modprobe tp_smapi

and install hdapsd:

#emerge hdapsd
#rc-update add hdapsd default battery

after reboot,try it with updatedb,when I shake my laptop,the hard drive stops working,and when I stop,it remains working,cool!
ps:
first,when a boot the laptop with the new patched kernel,something goes wrong:
my ethernet card can not be brought up,due to EEPROM checksum error,
then I insert a cable,remove the e1000 module and probe it again,it works.Then I use a script from lenovo,run it:

#./vidalia-eeprom-mod-script eth0

now problem resolved
:P

hibernate-ram,special keys,etc,on x60

At last,with a suspend2-sources-2.6.20,I have make the hibernate-ram work,it's great!I use acpid to grab fn+f4 or lid off to get hibernate-ram activate automatically:

x60 shelling # cat /etc/acpi/events/tp_hotkey 
event=ibm/hotkey.*
action=/etc/acpi/actions/tp_hotkey.sh "%e"

x60 shelling # cat /etc/acpi/actions/tp_hotkey.sh 
#!/bin/bash

#receive our hotkey event
event=$1

#ibm thinkpad x60 hotkeys

The volume controlling keys are actually valid without any configuration,and using a tpb with xosd support,we can see it working;

And the BACK and FORWARD key need xmodmap:

x60 shelling # cat .Xmodmap 
! Page left
keycode 234 = F19
! Page right
keycode 233 = F20

Now make a little mod to firefox:

#cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome
#unzip browser.jar

and add the following two lines (the lines with "TP") to content/browser/browser.xul:

    <key id="goBackKb"  keycode="VK_LEFT" command="Browser:Back" modifiers="alt"/>
    <key id="goForwardKb"  keycode="VK_RIGHT" command="Browser:Forward" modifiers="alt"/>
    <key id="goBackTP" keycode="VK_F19" command="Browser:Back"/>
    <key id="goForwardTP" keycode="VK_F20" command="Browser:Forward" />

restart firefox,now BACK makes firefox back and FORWARD makes firefox forward.

my new laptop:lenovo thinkpad x60

with core 2 duo T5500,512m ram,60g hd,it provides me an excellent experience.
however,without an internal cdrom,it's difficult to install an os.I still choose gentoo,but whose livecds can not be booted from a usb drive.so at last,I use a knoppix liveusb to boot the laptop,and installed gentoo 2006.1 for x86(for knoppix is 32bit,I have no choise but install a 32bit os).
anyhow,it's beautiful,and my ethernet card,wireless card,sound card are all driven,hdpas not configured yet.
now I am writing this blog via wireless network,it's great.
