Summary: ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting
transaction
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: EC
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No
Hi
on my new Dell Studio 1555 I got the following issue:
On a fresh boot I'm able to change brightness via brightnesskeys and ac-adapter
is detected properly, but as soon as the following error appears:
ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction
brightness control is no longer possible. Even the detection whether an
ac-adapter or not is attached fails.
I found that commenting the "goto end;" in ec.c (see below) workarounds this
problem. It may be something similar like the MSI Force-Polling. Maybe you
could find some better fix for that issue (I'm not that kernel-specialist at
all :) )
Best Regards

//goto end;
}
status = acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked(ec, t, force_poll);
end:

unlock:
mutex_unlock(&ec->lock);
return status;
}
