ink

[Florin Andrei]

Another too-late-for-this-time-but-maybe-next-round application:

http://home.arcor.de/markusheinz/ink.html

Essentially, it's a tool for checking the ink level of inkjet printers
under Linux. It allows you to figure out what's wrong with the printer,
even if your printserver is not running Windows so you can't run the
proprietary printer tools.
I missed this functionality badly since i bought my Epson Stylus Photo
780, but now i can do it, thanks to ink.
It works pretty well, it can access the printer even if CUPS is running,
there's no device access conflict or anything.

So perhaps it's worth including it in the distribution.

Since the RPM packages offered on the website do not compile on Red Hat,
i made some packages on RH9 and uploaded them here:

Laptop power management

[Richard Allen]

I just got a HP NX7000 laptop. Beta3 installs nicely (failed to propperly
detect the monitor) and runs very well also.  It's even 3D enabled
right out of the box.

It has no idea on power management tho.  "AC on-line, no system battery"

All other hardware except the modem and wireless lan is working.
The machine is Centrino based.

00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01)
02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev
04)

Should I bugzilla any of these ?

You probably need to add acpi=on to your kernel config.

-k.

If you don't test then your code is only a collection of bugs which 
apparently behave like a working program.
