Annoying head parking

Does anybody else get an annoying, repetitive disk-head parking noise? I've already had to scrap one bad hard drive, I'm hoping this one isn't defective as well.

Wacom Suspend Fix

Awesome call by Trithemius with the acpi/resume.d wacom fix... I just fixed the command's little typo and added the chmod.

Suspend Fix Change in xorg

The info for getting the pen to work was great. I have a 1869CSU model too but for some reason when I used "/dev/wacom" the stylus would never work after suspending it (even with the fix). I found the solution was to change all the "/dev/wacom"'s in my xorg to "/dev/ttyS0".

NetBoot Installation Move

I moved the NetBoot portion of the documentation, as it's part of isntallation instructions. The pre-installation notes were intended for README-like things, not so much actual procedure.

Screen Rotation

I followed your guide to create the screen rotation scripts/events, and after acpi force-reload and restart it works just fine. But when I reboot the machine, I have to reload and restart acpi again, otherwise it won't work.

Re: Screen Rotation

Yeah, I've been having this problem as well, and I'm working on a (quick and easy) solution. The problem is a result of acpid starting in rc before there's a display configured... If you look in /var/log/acpid you'll see a whole bunch of "cannot find display". That's why after you get a display running and restart acpid, everything works.

rotate script

for me in order to get it working i have to modify
x41tsdown.sh

#!/bin/sh
XUSER=`who | grep ' :0' | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
 if test -n "$XUSER"; then
    su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -o right"
    su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate CW"
    su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate CW"
    su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate CW"
    su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xvkbd
