Hello, how are you mates?
I have received second monitor at my job. I had to make everything work as i wanted to.
1) I wanted to make my second monitor show something 
So I made a simple command:
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
then by pressing CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE i restarted my X server, and whoohoo!
But is it what we wanted to be?
NO! So task number 2:
2) Make two monitors display different view
So as I mentioned, I wanted that Second monitor would show something different 
so I searched for dual-head xorg, found some xorg.conf files, but it didn’t worked for me… also found a super nice utility… so I tied to do something with it but no success what to do? Oh let’s try: man xorg.conf it was successful!!! So I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

As you see it’s nothing so complicated as it look’s like
We will use:
- p910nd
- cups
- foo2zjs
- sihp1020.dl
heh, I have installed many packages, so i might miss some packages please fix me if so… (maybe libusb, cupsys?)
So lets add squeeze resource:
deb http://debian.mirror.vu.lt/debian squeeze main
deb-src http://debian.mirror.vu.lt/debian squeeze mainto file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/squeeze.list
then install p910nd:
apt-get update
apt-get install p910ndand do not forget to remove squeeze from apt list
using command:rm /etc/apt/source.list.d/squeeze.list
Next we need just install drivers to our printer and launch printing daemon…
So p910nd printing daemon conf file: /etc/default/p9910nd
# Printer number, if not 0
P910ND_NUM=""
# Additional daemon arguments, see man 8 p910nd
P910ND_OPTS="-b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0"
# my printer connects to device: /dev/usb/lp0
# Debian specific (set to 1 to enable start by default)
P910ND_START=1
So lets start it:
/etc/init.d/p910nd restartNext, Dowload firmware: sihp1020.dl extracting it:
wget http://lpic.lt/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sihp1020.dl.tar.bz2
bunzip2 sihp1020.dl.tar.bz2
tar -xf sihp1020.dl.tardrop firmware into yours printer:
cat sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0As I mentioned /dev/usb/lp0 – my printer device in linux
so,
what’s next?As i recall that’s it… Just go to http://localhost:631 ? (I appeared to be
after one of cups or cupsys is installed)
If something do not work after reboot or replugging USB printer we should copy paste script a to /usr/sbin/hplj1020 so script a:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /tmp/busy-prn ]; then
exit 99
fi
touch /tmp/busy-prn
sleep 2
D=$(awk '/Manufacturer/ {print $2} ' /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -v Linux | wc -l)
if [ $D == 1 ]; then
# No daemon running
# Start daemon if printer is attached
if [ -e /dev/usb/lp0 ]; then
/etc/init.d/p910nd start
sleep 1
cat /root/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
fi
else
if [ $D == 0 ]; then
# No Printer attached but daemon running
# Kill daemon
/etc/init.d/p910nd stop
fi
fi
# Kill the spare process //hid3
kill `pidof p9100d | awk '{print $2}'`
rm -f /tmp/busy-prn
now copy:
cp a /usr/sbin/hplj1020
that’s it?

Hello, How are you?
I have missed functionality in my Lenny kernel… (I think it’s for the first time…) So I needed to compile my own Linux for my Debian GNU to make if even better then it is.
I have received Linux/kernel package from here and reiser4 grab it from here.
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.32.tar.gz -c
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/edward/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6/reiser4-for-2.6.32.patch.gz -c
Adding -c if file with the same name exists continue downloading.
Unpackage everything. and move to linux source dir:
tar -xf linux-2.6.32.tar.gz
tar -xf reiser4-for-2.6.32.patch.gz
or if you have bz2
bunzip2 reiser4-for-2.6.32.patch.bz2
cd linux-2.6.32
now we need to patch our new Linux with a super puper function patch :
patch -p1 < ../reiser4-for-2.6.32.patch
So now we need to copy our working config file to linux directory:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config
Now just make install of needed packages:
apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 build-essential liblzo2-dev gzip
Then we need to enable Reiser4 in our kernel by executing:
make menuconfig
And selecting:
File systems —>
< *> Reiser4 (EXPERIMENTAL)
Now save config and the last but not the least step is making/compiling linux kernel:
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg –initrd –append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
How we just need to install these debs:
dpkg -i linux*.deb
What’s for RPM’s?
make binrpm-pkg
