| ACPI 3.10 is available (von Eugene Gorbunoff) |
| A) Fresh news: We get more reports that eComStation works fine on 8 cores.
B) Why to install ACPI for eComStation? You should install ACPI for eComStation to: Common (Notebooks, servers, barebones): * to initialize PC (the devices are not initialized on boot without ACPI), * to use multi-core CPU (Core Duo, AMD X2). Especially, if you want run computer in APIC mode, * device drivers for eComStation depend on ACPI, * ACPI provides information about the computer to drivers, applications and system information utilities. Notebook, barebone: * to manage power management (suspend/resume/poweroff) * to reduce power consumption For developer: * The main purpose of the driver is to provide ACPI interface to applied developers.

| USB Flash-disks and eComStation (von Eugene Gorbunoff) |
| eComStation supports any USB flashdisk. Attention: it should be prepared for (from) eComStation.
eCo Software created a site how to prepare flash disks (russian language). Short list of suggestions: * Start from review: USB Removables Care and Feeding FAQs (by Lon Hooker) -- http://os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0606H/feature_2.html * Use LVM to create the volume. Don\'t use Windows tools. * If LVM doesn\'t allow you create a volume then use (ALVM, Avalanche LVM) -- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/alvm/download/alvm-20070301.zip * If eComStation traps after flash eject then post bug-report to FAT32 bug-tracker. Use JFS filesystem (eComStation 2.0). post bug-report -- http://svn.netlabs.org/fat32/report/1 -> [New ticket] Register to Login -- http://www.netlabs.org/site/member/ don\'t use short name&password, save your password * If eComStation doesn\'t boot with USB Flash disk attached then install updated USBD.SYS (was available during some days in BETAZONE, spring 2008) * How to increase speed of read/write to USB flash disk? Read USB FAQ-- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/usbtools/?action=faq * Reports about tested USB flash disks -- http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php?action=category§ion=disk * Does eComStation supports USB Harddisks? Yes (40 .. 500Gb), less troubles than with flash disks.

| Starting page of the Postscript Printer Driver (PSCRIPT.DRV) replacement (von NN) |
| Source code: in the latest DDK there was the source for the 30.800 PSCRIPT.DRV, looking through the changelogs, it seems that they only have been adding new PPD files, no new functionality.
There are 2 main reasons why we want to replace the current postscript driver: * 1. It has some serious bugs/limitations which prevent it from working properly with CUPS * 2. To do the auto configuration we need a way to be sure that the printer printing to CUPS is known to CUPS, having our own printer driver greatly simplifies this task, I\'ll ellaborate on that in the explanation of the eCupsPort driver internals. Bugs/Limitations: * 1. the most important, and luckily most easy to fix bug is the messed up header of the postscript generated by the driver. in the code snippet below you see that the actual postscript marker is below the comment, CUPS expects the postscript marker to be on top to define the stream as postscript. This behaviour is causing that printing on some newer printers directly from OS/2 eComStation fails as well, the printer doesn\'t recognize the stream as PostScript? and therefore ignores it. Some older printer had a \'text mode\' fallback where your job was actually printed as source code, but modern printers don\'t support this anymore, so after receiving the job they simply give a data error or give up without any feedback. * 2. PJL Headers, actualy the same effect as above, PJL comments are inserted into the postscript stream if the driver detects that the printer supports mode switching. Again the Postscript marker is not on top. When using CUPS, this mode switching should be done by a filter, and use the PPD with the printer for CUPS processing. * 3. Font support, there should be a way to support more modern fonts with various toolkits, comments on this are very welcome. * 4. On the fly PPD compilation, just having all your PPDs in a directory and compiling them on the fly would make life a lot easier, not sure if this is supported in the current structure. A alternative might be, automatically compiling new PPD files which are in a specific directory.
