Mine is. I once tried googling the cubbi kernels, but besides a couple of discussions about them, I found more information about Care Bears than Linux Kernels. My OEM is shipping an ASUS motherboard in their laptop. I've been told by them that they require the cubbi_suspend2 stuff in order for some of my hardware to work correctly, including suspend and hibernate. Being that this is my first laptop, I'm kinda learning about Linux Laptops as I go along (but I've been running Linux desktops since Linux version 0.12). Any information as to why the cubbi_suspend2 kernels exist and why they are necessary would be appreciated here. I assumed (probably incorrectly) that they were used on most laptops. Image my surprise last night to discover the are shunned by people here! > If you want to see whether this is a bug with the cubbi kernel or the > Fedora vanilla kernel it is based on, why not install the > corresponding vanilla kernel and see if it's broken there, too? I wasn't sure if I *could* even boot a stock FC kernel and have it run, or even a vanilla Linux Kernel. I may give it a try later tonight or tomorrow night when I have more time. > Maybe you need the cubbi kernel for using the laptop in general, but > the Fedora kernel should at least boot up, so you can test the > mouse.

I'm not sure if they are even the same that you provide or not. They also provide kernel modules for my ATI Mobile Radeon X1600 video (but I haven't seen one for the 2944 kernel yet). They also provide quite few special installation scripts for other features such as my ipw3945 wireless, and some general stuff for expanded video support, software which makes my win-modem work. I've installed MythTVfrontend so I can view my recordings on my laptop if I so choose to. Unfortunately, the USB webcam doesn't work yet. > FWIW the cubbi kernels don't usually have special hardware support, so > since the vendor says that you can only use these for the specific > laptop brand it may be that the OEM picked the kernel rpm added some > patches and rebuilt it under the same name.

I'm still having a few problems like my wireless isn't stable (doesn't always connect), and I think I may have broken something in my video configuration (while fglrx is installed and mostly works, my fullscreen video is *very* slow). So far, the vendor has been unsuccessful in solving these problems, but I probably broke them the day I received the laptop by installing some of my favorite repos and doing a couple of "updates" before figuring out what I broke by doing so. So, I thought I'd post here about them one at a time as I get them "fixed". I thought I'd start with my USB mouse problem. Big misteak apparently. B^) -- Kevin J.
