Panorama should not be a requirement for APM to work. Panorama will not intall on the T61 Intel graphics chipset. I see you also have a ticket open for ACPI on the T61, which we should all watch (and to whcih we should contribute, if possible): http://svn.netlabs.org/acpi/ticket/194 From APM-FAQ.doc: Q6: Cooler on CPU is very loud, how can you help me? A6: First of all: * Use Panorama VESA video driver instead of GENGRAD or SDDGRAD URL: http://ecomstation.ru/panorama From APM.doc: How to setup sleep/resume? June, 2007: * Use Panorama VESA video driver Diane's T61 has the nVidia chip in it. I wasn't aware that Panorama wouldn't install on the Intel chip. Very interesting. I have 3.0.8 working, based on Neil's posting about the Intel 945GCNL (I have one of those machines in the next room, which is yet to be delivered to a client), by adding /SAP:0x20 to my PSD line, which now reads: PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC /SAP:0x20 In addition, I have: BASEDEV=APM.ADD RUN=C:\OS2\ACPIDaemon.exe I am currently testing with only the defaults in the CFG files. The extra info you;re getting may be caused by: LogScreen = 1 in %ETC%\ACPID.CFG Interesting. My %ETC%\ACPID.CFG has nothing but commented lines. I found that I got the extra debug stuff with 3.0.7 even with the setting at the default (off). The current (3.0.8) ACPID.CFG does indeed have uncommented lines in it. For sound, I have the following in my unimix setup params, loaded from startup.cmd (unimix.exe -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini): -id3 -cnt0 -val1 -id3 -cnt1 -val1 -id27 -val33 (N.B.: Those are not the contents of unimix.ini, merely the relevant settings. Set them manually, as parameters passed to unimix.exe, and then use unimix.exe -savec:\mmos2\unimix.ini to dump them.) Do you have any idea what the format of unimix.ini is? As I mentioned to Carl, that's just the name I gave it. It's a binary file, but all you need to do to create it is to save your current settings. So, starting from no sound at all, open a window and do the following: unimix -id3 -cnt0 -val1 <Enter> (that should turn on the left channel) unimix -id3 -cnt1 -val1 <Enter> (that should turn on the right channel) unimix -id27 -val33 <Enter> (that should set the master volume for both channels to 33 out of 39; adjust to taste, obviously, and the volume applet works to adjust it, too) Then, finally: unimix -savec:\mmos2\unimix.ini <Enter> (to create the unimix.ini file itself) Add to STARTUP.CMD: unimix -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini to load all of those settings at one time during startup. My patched one is based on the original 7.0 r14. I seemed to get more stuff patched than Steve Wendt did with his, so I kept it (I had a few sites which were looking for the ident string in different places). You may download the patched version (and the preceding one, patched to 9.0 r47) from http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eCS-Technical/files/ . The zip is 500+ KB, and perhaps best not attached to an email on the list. I'll send both via PM, though. Got them. Thanks. ;-) -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
