Sciame di biciclette 2007 a Forlì
Anche quest’anno, Domenica 25 Marzo, in Piazza Saffi alle ore 10 partirà lo sciame di biciclette.
La stessa giornata è stata individuata come la prima data delle Domeniche Ecologiche 2007, per la quale è prevista la chiusura al traffico del centro storico dalle ore 10.00 alle ore 18.00.
Anche quest’anno la Regione Emilia Romagna – Assessorato Ambiente e Sviluppo Sostenibile – all’interno delle iniziative della campagna Liberiamo l’aria, ha promosso la manifestazione SCIAME DI BICICLETTE. Come nelle passate edizioni, Il Comune di Forlì ha deciso di raccogliere l’invito, convinto della necessità di sensibilizzare con ogni azione possibile i cittadini, aderendo all’iniziativa e organizzando, in collaborazione con le associazioni ciclistiche AVIS, SCAT, UISP e Pantani Corse, una “biciclettata” che partirà da Piazza Saffi e, dopo un percorso lungo le vie del centro, raggiungerà il Parco Urbano. Qui saranno presenti le Guide dell’Accademia Italiana di Mountain Bike – Scuola di Formazione Nazionale AICS – che, seguendo un itinerario ciclabile che toccherà le zone di San Varano, Villa Rovere, Ladino e Terra del Sole, accompagneranno lo sciame fino all’interno del Parco Fluviale di Castrocaro, per fare ritorno,dopo un paio d’ore circa, al Parco Urbano.
All’arrivo i partecipanti troveranno un punto ristoro allestito dal Comune di Castrocaro Terme.
Chi non volesse intraprendere la pedalata fino a Castrocaro e i più piccoli, potranno sostare al parco urbano dove, con un’offerta libera, avranno la possibilità di divertirsi con i simpatici clown
dell’associazione Vivi in Positivo e i palloncini dei volontari del Gruppo Pionieri Forlì oppure ristorarsi con le leccornie preparate dalle associazioni ANFFAS e AIL.
Presso il gazebo dell’AIL sarà possibile anticipare la Pasqua acquistando le tradizionali di cioccolato.
Per gite in “a misura di famiglia” si potranno ricevere tutte le informazioni necessarie al gazebo della FIAB (Federazione Italiana Amici della Bicicletta) mentre i volontari del WWF e di Emergency, anch’essi presenti nella zona gazebo per la vendita del loro materiale, illustreranno agli interessati le attività e le finalità delle rispettive associazioni.
Sempre al Parco Urbano, i più piccoli potranno provare a destreggiarsi nella gimkana allestita dagli istruttori dell’Accademia Italiana di Mountain Bike.
In Piazza Saffi, al momento della partenza, saranno distribuiti palloncini con il logo della manifestazione e pettorine.
Si precisa che non è necessaria alcuna particolare attrezzatura o abilità in quanto, sia il percorso della “biciclettata” che l’escursione al Parco Fluviale di Castrocaro, sono state concepite per essere alla portata di tutti.
Si invitano tutti gli amanti della bici, del verde, dell’aria aperta, dei giochi e dell’allegria a partecipare numerosi!

Pieghevole Sciame di Biciclette 2007 Forlì
Settimana Europea della Mobilità
Torna l’appuntamento con European Mobility Week e Car Free Day, sette giorni (dal 16 al 22 settembre) dedicati a iniziative e manifestazioni legate alla mobilità sostenibile, che si concluderanno domenica 22 con una giornata durante la quale le città partecipanti bloccheranno il traffico automobilistico.
L’evento, nonostante il grosso seguito negli altri Paesi Europei (in Austria sono ben 146 le città che hanno aderito al Car Free Day, in Spagna addirittura 244), continua ad avere un successo molto limitato sul territorio nazionale: ad oggi, infatti, sono solo sette (Ferrara, Bologna, Brescia, Ascoli Piceno, Brunico, Naturns e Portogruaro) le città italiane che chiuderanno al traffico le proprie vie domenica 22.
Per conoscere le iniziative in programma nelle sette città italiane, è sufficiente collegarsi al sito ufficiale dell’ European Mobility Week.

Linux Installation
I’ve installed a Gentoo, following the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml ppc handbook. After a base installation, you can use my conf files to make your iBook G4 a real lovely GNU/Linux (Gentoo) home.
Kernel Config
Copy my .config file into /usr/src/linux (or wherever you did copy the kernel source files) and do a
[sourcecode language=”java”]make oldconfig[/sourcecode]
Config-2.6.9-sleep
make.conf
This is my make.conf file:
make.conf
Xorg
I’ve managed to make 3D acceleration with DRI work and VGA out, also together.
So, If you want to use 3D acceleration without MergedFB or Xinerama, take my xorg.conf
This option make a faster 3D acceleration, but video output will not work.
But if you want to use Xinerama with dual head configuration, without 3D acceleration (both clone mode and one screen left of the other), you want to use that:
Xorg.conf.dual with a cvs or => 6.8.2 Xorg version (because you need these xorg radeon patches https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2064, merged only in newer xorg versions. If you don’t want to overwrite your existing xorg version, you can build xorg from cvs as in this xorg-cvs-howto.txt , with my host.def.
NB: if you want to have the two screens spanning on OSX you must patch your iBook with that http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html Spanning Patch Ibook: I suggest you to do that if you know what you’re doing. It’s not necessary if you use only Linux.
I made MergedFB working, so now I have a clone mode (VGA out is the same of the TFT) with 3D DRI acceleration.
You must use this simple configuration:
xorg.conf.merged
NB: These 3 configurations are alternative, you can use one.
Make the Apple key works as Altgr and the keyboard more linux confortable
My Apple G4 12″ doesn’t have any Altgr Key, so it’s impossibile to write composed symbols as @ or #. To correct this problem, you can do this procedure on Gnome:
1. Computer -> Desktop Preferences -> Keyboard
2. “Layout Options” tab
3. In the right-hand list open the “Third level choosers” group
4. Highlight “Press Left Win-key to choose 3rd level”
5. Click “Add”
Or add this to keyboard section on /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
[sourcecode language=”java”]”XkbOptions” “lv3:lwin_switch”[/sourcecode]
My xorg.conf file keyboard section is:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Keyboard0”
Driver “keyboard”
Option “XkbKeycodes” “macintosh”
Option “XkbSymbols” “macintosh/us”
Option “XkbGeometry” “macintosh”
Option “XkbOptions” “ctrl:nocaps, lv3:lwin_switch”
Option “XkbRules” “xfree86”
Option “XkbModel” “pc105”
Option “LeftAlt” “Meta”
Option “RightAlt” “LWin”
Option “XkbLayout” “it”
EndSection
[/sourcecode]
On the US keyboard, the ~ and +/- keys aren’t mapped correctly.
add these lines to a startup script:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
xmodmap -e “keycode 49 = section plusminus”
xmodmap -e “keycode 94 = quoteleft asciitilde”
[/sourcecode]
Three Button Mouse Emulation
I usually use an external USB three button mouse, but I want to have an alternative access to the middle and right button without the external mouse.
To use an alternative key to emulate the mouse buttons, you must do:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
echo “1” > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation
[/sourcecode]
The standard keys now are on Fn+CTRL for middle button and Fn+alt for right button.
If you want to change the keys, you must do:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
echo “68” > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode
echo “87” > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode
[/sourcecode]
Remember, you must do these commands every boot, so you can add to an init script.
You can change the keycodes 68 and 87 writing your own. To view what keycode is a button press you can use:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
xev
[sourcecode language=”java”]
If your distro supports /etc/sysctl.conf, you can add these lines to this file:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
# Mouse button emulation:
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1
#dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 68
#dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 87
[/sourcecode]
Uncomment the last lines if you want to edit the keycodes.
Pbbuttons
In order to make the keyword and the power management more usable, i use pbbuttons:
[sourcecode language=”java”
emerge pbbuttonsd
rc-update add pbbuttonsd default
[/sourcecode]
Now you must configure the /etc/pbbuttons.conf file. Here is mine:
pbbuttonsd.conf
Sleep
Kernel 2.6.11 comes with support for putting the iBook G4 to sleep. However you still have to enable it when configuring the kernel.
Benh has released a patch that supports Apple iBook g4 sleep: you need it if you have a kernel version < 2.6.11.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=254232&highlight=benh+patch
You can find the 2.6.9 patch version also here:
albook-ibookg4-sleep-5.diff
Just apply it to kernel source with
[sourcecode language=”java”]
cp ./albook-ibookg4-sleep-4.diff.gz /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
gunzip ./albook-ibookg4-sleep-4.diff.gz
patch -p1 < albook-ibookg4-sleep-4.diff make menuconfig [/sourcecode] And add the Powerbook Power Management in the Drivers -> Macintosh kernel configuration section
After that, you can use pbbuttons to make the iBook sleep when the LCD is closed.
pbbuttonsd.conf
Power
Some problems with sleep function comes from modules loaded (usb, thermal, etc). You can solve them if you use powerprefs. Before going to sleep, your iBook must do:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
lsmod | cut -f 1 -d ” ” | grep -v Module | xargs > /tmp/modules.loaded
rmmod `cat /tmp/modules.loaded`
[/sourcecode]
and after resume it must do:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
for module in `cat /tmp/modules.loaded`
do
modprobe $module
done
[/sourcecode]
In gentoo you must install app-laptop/powerprefs and use my /etc/power/event.d/modules file.
CPU Variable Speed
To make you iBook a less battery user, you can alter automagically the cpu freq in order to use only the calculation power you need. So, when you use all the cpu, it works at the 100% of his speed, but when you don’t use it the cpu runs slower to get colder.
I’ve used speedfreq:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
emerge speedfreq
rc-update add speedfreqd default
[/sourcecode]
Fan speed
To get a better control of your iBook G4 temperature and fan speed, you can use the module therm_adt746x.
[sourcecode language=”java”]
modprobe therm_adt746x
[/sourcecode]
or put the module into your /etc/modules.autoload file
Modules
The module I use and I load at startup are written into a file called /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:
modules.autoload ( My /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 )
[sourcecode language=”java”] sungem
airport
ohci_hcd #usb 1
ehci_hcd #usb 2
ohci1394 #firewire
usb_storage #mp3 mplayer and Sony digital camera
snd-powermac #for sound
snd-pcm-oss #for sound
usb-serial #for GPRS using my sony ericsson phone
visor # for palm m125
#apm_emu #emulate APM (power management)
therm_adt746 #fan control (I use fan_speed=128)
uinput #for mouseemu
uninorth-agp #for DRI (agpgart will come with it)
radeon #for DRI 3D video acceleration
therm_adt746x # to control fan speed and temp
[/sourcecode]
Sound
You can configure the sound card with alsa modules and either using a sound daemon (i.e. arts), or by using oss emulation output. You can insert arts in USE flags, as I do.
Mac On Linux
Mol runs correctly on my iBook, with networking enabled.
It’s necessary to add this use flag:
USE=”fbcon”
before emerging //MOL//.
Run
[sourcecode language=”java”]
molvconfig
[/sourcecode]
and now edit
/etc/mol/molrc.video
to get fullscreen with MOL. Now you have linux on CTRL+ALT+F7 an MacOSX on CTRL+ALT+F8
I use an external ADSL eth0 router with dhcp, so I’ve used tun.ko kernel module and this configuration for mol:
/etc/mol/molrc.net
I use the internal dhcp so in MOL I don’t have to specify an address.
hdparm
I use this settings for hdparm, to increase hard disk performances and decrease the hdd temperature:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
hdparm -S 1 -d1 -m16 -c1 -X udma5 /dev/hda
[/sourcecode]
Make sure to load this settings on every boot.
Time config
Since I have also MacOSX, I had a problem with my clock settings. The hardware clock is set to UTC time by MacOSX, and my Linux system on everyboot read the time from the hardware clock, thinking this is set against my local time (Europe/Rome, CEST).
To solve this problem, you must tell hwclock to use –utc when used to update your system time.
In a RedHat/Fedora system is really simple, once known the origin of the problem:
Simply write this few lines into /etc/sysconfig/clock
[sourcecode language=”java”]
ZONE=”Europe/Rome”
UTC=true
ARC=false
[/sourcecode]
Airport Extreme Wireless Driver
It seems (http://bcm43xx.berlios.de) someone has written a driver for the Broadcom 43xx wireless chip, the one inside AirPort Extreme included into our iBook G4. It needs 2.6.14 kernel, and I’ve uploaded my config file for the 2.6.14-rc4 (the latest 2.6.14 branch I’ve found at this time).
Now you must get the firmware of your driver. Let /media/macosx be the MacOSX partition mount point. then you must use the fwcutter utility in the package:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
./fwcutter /media/macosx/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAirPort2
[/sourcecode]
and then copy the *.fw files on
[sourcecode language=”java”]
cp *.fw /lib/firmware/
[/sourcecode]
If you want, I’ve made a copy of the driver you can download:
broadcom43xx.tar.bz2
I loaded the bcm430x driver correctly, but I don’t have a wireless access point here, so I cannot try if it works.

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.

Esperimento Ronchi
I post di questi giorni di Caravita, ..:digital||divide:.., Mantellini mi forniscono un assist perfetto.
In realtà volevo parlarne tra un paio di giorni, il tempo di sistemare meglio il tutto, ma colgo l’occasione al balzo.
Beppe Caravita si candida alle elezioni europee, e la notizia che un blogger, esperto di informatica e di software libero, si dedichi alla politica è stata accolta positivamente da coloro che ho sentito commentare sulla cosa.
Più o meno la sua esperienza è simile alla mia, a parte il fatto che la mia candidatura (sempre all’interno della federazione dei Verdi) sarà per le amministrative della mia circoscrizione, del mio Comune (Forlì) e della Provincia di Forlì-Cesena (Collegio Forlì 2).
Pur non volendo in nessun modo paragonare le due cose, voglio però fare due o tre commenti.
Per prima cosa, voglio dire che non mi stupisce che la comunità che sostiene le libertà di informazione e/o il software libero si affacci alla vita politica. Sempre dietro a lamentarci di chi ci governa, qualcuno del gruppo inizia a pensare che personalmente si possa cambiare qualcosa. Senza stravolgere il mondo, credo che cambiare qualcosa sia possibile, soprattutto se chi verrà eletto riuscirà a portare avanti dei progetti di informazione sulle decisioni politiche che sta portando avanti.
Senza arrivare al paragone con Dean, anche uno spazio web dove commentare cosa si decide, è un piccolo passo per arrivare ad una politica un po’ meno nascosta, un po’ meno ostica, di cui si inizi veramente a percepire un potere positivo (dove potere ovviamente non è inteso nel senso mafioso del termine).
Spero, anzi, che sempre più persone da questo mondo molto vario decidano di fare la stessa cosa: di tanti blog che leggo, molti autori mi paiono molto intelligenti e questo requisito di partenza è già una cosa non banale da ottenere, al giorno d’oggi.
Detto questo, arrivo anche ad una proposta concreta. Qualche giorno fa nella lista discussioni dell’associazione Assoli, un ragazzo del Bologna Free Software Forum ha postato un interessante messaggio, che contiene una bozza di proposta da presentare ai candidati delle elezioni europee riguardante la proprietà intellettuale.
Dato l’interesse che ha scaturito in me la proposta, ho risposto proponendo a mia volta di presentare un documento simile, anche per le elezioni amministrative, tenuto conto ovviamente delle differenze tra gli obbiettivi politici che le due cariche permettono. Per quanto riguarda le amministrazioni Comunali e provinciali, il documento di proposta dovrà secondo me contenere l’obbligo di utilizzare formati standard ed accessibili nelle comunicazioni tra PA e cittadini e nell’interscambio tra uffici diversi, e all’utilizzo, quando conveniente, del software libero.
L’idea ha ricevuto interesse nella lista discussioni e presto pubblicherò la prima bozza. Nell’archivio della mailing list discussioni@softwarelibero.it di Aprile, ordinato per thread, potete consultare tutto il discorso.
Caravita parlava di candidatura aperta, io prendo la palla al balzo e chiedo cosa ne pensate di mettere giù un programma aperto, anche su Wiki, da presentare in vista delle elezioni. I politici di una democrazia rappresentantiva, come dice il nome, devono rappresentare i cittadini che li scelgono tramite voto: perché non includere in questo processo anche la stesura del programma, partendo da una linea stesa della persona che si candida?
A questo punto, mi interesserebbe tantissimo che:
– Caravita commentasse e/o aiutasse nella stesura della proposta per le elezioni europee.
– Che le persone che hanno commentato la candidatura di Caravita, commentassero anche queste due iniziative, magari dandone visibilità oppure proponendo modifiche
– Che qualcuno si interessasse alla possibilità di mettere mano ad un programma per le elezioni amministrative, che si possa ovviamente riproporre anche in altri comuni / province.
– Che al termine della stesura di questi documenti, si facesse una lista dei candidati che si impegnano a portare avanti queste promesse, ovviamente tenendo traccia delle votazioni e dei risultati dell’eventuale mandato se verranno eletti.
Secondo me abbiamo una possibilità di cambiare qualcosa, partendo dal processo pre-elezioni, magari spingendo ad un cambiamento (seppur minimo) anche i politici che fino ad ora si sono disinteressati di questi problemi per rincorrere gli interessi di chi faceva pressioni, piuttosto che quelli dei cittadini che amministrano.
Se poi abitate dalle mie parti, o avete qualche parente residente nella terra della piadina, e condividete il mio progetto (che ovviamente pezzo per pezzo salterà fuori in un apposito spazio, prima delle elezioni di Giugno), potete fare ancora di più. Stay Tuned.
