Summary: battery status info broken; missing entry in
ec_dmi_table for specific MSI hardware (notebook)
Product: ACPI
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.33
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Power-Battery
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: Yes
Recently I had compiled and installed the newest stable kernel, version 2.6.33.
I noticed that the battery status is broken and remembered that there could be
a missing ec_dmi_table entry. As last time
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14446) I added the ec_dmi_table
entry:
---- to drivers/acpi/ec.c --- line 959
{
ec_flag_msi, "MSI hardware", {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_CHASSIS_VENDOR, "MICRO-STAR")}, NULL},
----
(if necessary I could make a patch)
Instead of attaching the dmidecode I just print the relevant section.
(Other "Manufacturer:" keys are followed by "Notebook" or "Manufacturer<i>"
where <i> is an integer)
----
Handle 0x0003, DMI type 3, 21 bytes
Chassis Information
Manufacturer: MICRO-STAR INT'L CO.,LTD.
Type: Notebook
Lock: Not Present
Version: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
[...]
----
Complete list as far as I know or noticed:
- Micro-Star (bios vendor)
- MICRO-Star (sys vendor)
- MICRO-Star (chassis vendor)
- MICRO-STAR (chassis vendor)
Concluding ... I added the entry to this table for MICRO-STAR and it worked for
me.
