Eurozev: trasformare una vecchia 500 in veicolo elettrico
Il mitico Pietro Cambi è riuscito a trovare di nuovo spazio sul sito di Repubblica.it con il suo progetto di trasformazione di una vecchia 500 in una auto elettrica a zero emissioni.
Il retrofit elettrico, questo il nome dell’operazione, permetterebbe di riciclare un numero elevato di vetture e traformare un parco veicolare da rottamare in perfetti strumenti di mobilità cittadina.
Purtroppo la legge italiana ancora non consente l’immatricolazione, se non con un passaggio attraverso il TUV e la Germania, e l’emendamento a firma dei Verdi non è passato in Parlamento.
Complimenti ancora a Pietro ed alla sua associazione:
www.eurozev.org
Trasformare una vecchio cinquino in una efficientissima auto elettrica a zero emissioni? Niente di più facile. E basta fare qualche click nel sito www. eurozev. org, per avere anche un paio di consigli su come aggirare gli ostacoli che si frappongono alla sua omologazione e messa su strada.
Eurozev è infatti un’associazione senza scopo di lucro nata per promuovere la conversione dei veicoli con motori endotermici in veicoli elettrici, in modo particolare veicoli euro zero. Dopo tante battaglie – fra cui quella di sei mesi fa quando espose davanti a Montecitorio mentre si discuteva l’emendamento per la “liberalizzazione della conversione alla trazione elettrica dei veicoli circolanti”, una vecchia Cinquecento blu trasformata in un auto elettrica, – ha deciso di pubblicare sulle proprie pagine web una sorta di vademecum alla realizzazione dell’opera.
Smaltimento illecito di rifiuti pericolosi. In manette la famiglia Laghi
Forlì, ”Biodenaro”: smaltimento illecito di rifiuti pericolosi. In manette la famiglia Laghi
FORLI’ – Associazione per delinquere, finalizzata a traffico illecito di oltre 500 mila tonnellate di rifiuti, fittiziamente declassificati o illecitamente miscelati con altre tipologie di rifiuti, che venivano, poi, smaltiti in discariche non autorizzate dell’Emilia Romagna. In manette sono finiti Giacomo, Raffaele e Roberto Laghi, dell’omonima impresa. Ai domiciliari l’ex-rappresentante legale della società, Cesare Dall’Ara, e un tecnico di Hera.

Thanks to Harddrake for those informations :) ( you can download it at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/harddrake∞ )
Update (27-5-2002): I’ve corrected the Mouse cursor problem with Linux in a Compaq Presario
Sometimes, when the memory is full and linux swaps on hard drive, the mouse cursor leave his correct position and the mouse clicks 1 cm left from the pointer. To correct that problem, insert the line Option “sw_cursor” in the Section “Device” of /etc/X11/XF68Config-4 configuration file. That corrects the problem. I’ve updated the configuration files.
Update: Now also the Conexant winmodem works correctly!
Thanks to Mark Hopkins for this wimodem help
You can find a driver at the location:
http://www.mbsi.ca/hsflinux/
I’ve tested it with Red Hat 7.2, and it works correctly. Because I don’t live on US, after the installation with the rpm of the driver I’ve launched that command:
# hsfconfig –country
And then Selected “Italy”. You can select here your different country.
See those urls to get more information:
http://www.linmodems.org
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/3217/Documents/WinModems.html
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
http://walbran.org/sean/linux/linmodem-howto.html
I’ve installed a Mandrake 7.2 , a Red Hat 7.1 and a Red Hat 7.2 distribution. They don’t recognize our graphic card, but the only thing you have to do is to replace the /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with the one provided in this page. (Read the files table). I use the touchpad or an external ps2 mouse, there’s no problem with the configuration.
If you want to use an external ps2 wheel mouse you must disable the gpm daemon on console, because it makes the mouse on console crazy and flipping. If you want to use the wheel, you must edit the section “imputdevice” as follow
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Mouse0”
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver “mouse”
Option “Device” “/dev/mouse”
Option “Protocol” “IMPS/2”
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “no”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5”
EndSection
This notebook has a confortable little display that shows the battery status, so I have not installed any dock to show the apm status in my desktop. Just run “apm” on a console if you want the % of charge.
And here is my configuration files:
Kernel Configuration (version 2.2.4-test11).
The soundcard works with the Via kernel driver, just do a modprobe to load the modules (Red Hat 7.2 does it automatically): .config
Xfree Configuration (for version 3.3.6)
It’s with italian keyboard, so if you want an other country map just modify the keyboard section and substitute the “it” with your keymap.
I used there 8 Mb for the videoram, setted from the bios. To use the mtrr acceleration, execute this command (after recompiling the kernel, with my .config file or with mtrr enabled):
echo “base=0xF5000000 size=8192k type=write-combining” >/proc/mtrr
XF86Config
Xfree Configuration (for version 4.*) (NEW)
The only way to make the new Xfree working with our laptop is to change first the /etc/lilo.conf file, adding a line with the VGA mode. If not, launching the Xfree server you will get working section of video, but not centered and moved on the right (if you can correct this error, send the solution to me). So change the lilo.conf file like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=791 <-------- That line is fundamental
lba32
prompt
timeout=30
message=/boot/message
default=Windows
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda7
append="ide=ata66 idebus=66"
vga=788 <--------# That line is fundamental
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 <----- this section is the same
# that above, but without the vga line. Add it to be
#sure when you will
#reboot to have at least one lilo image working.
label=linuxtext
read-only
root=/dev/hda7
append="idebus=66 ide0=ata66 ide0=dma hda=autotune ide0=autotune"
other=/dev/hda1 <--- this is not fundamental :)
optional
label=Windows
Then you must be sure to use the Xfree 4 version. In modern distribution (like Mandrake 7.2, 8, Red Hat 7.1 and so on) you have the choice at the installation time. After that, you can change the Xfree version running on your machine by changing the /etc/X11/X simbolic link. If it brings to /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 then you're using the 4.* version. If it link to a /usr/bin/X11/XF86_* then you're using the 3.3.6 one. Just change that link to the one you want!!
So now you can put my configuration file XF86Config-4 in your /etc/X11 dir.
It's with italian keyboard, so if you want an other country map just modify the keyboard section and substitute the "it" with your keymap.
I used there 4 Mb for the videoram, setted from the bios. To use the mtrr acceleration, se the relative documentation in the kernel source tree.
