I'm having difficulty getting battery and thermal status. If I compile the
kernel with APM support I get battery statistics but if I try to put
APM/ACPI in the kernel ACPI reports that another PM system is enabled and
doesn't load the /dev/acpi device. If I take APM out and compile in ACPI I
get /dev/acpi and all that goes with it; but the battery status does not
show up correctly.
I've attached 2 files, test1.log which is with:
device acpi
device apm
in the kernel. (Which brings me to the point, in the NOTES file it's noted
that device acpi is deprecated, but if you don't add the device you don't
get acpi support...)
Then test2.log is with only acpi support compiled in.
Another thing I tested while I was testing was suspend states. With apm
compiled in I tried doing a 'apm -z'. Suspending seems to work fine,
however, when you try to bring it back it says it is resyncing the disks
(think this was the last message) and then it sits there frozen; meanwhile
the harddrive light is constantly on. I let it sit there for a minute and
still had no signs of activity. If I go into X suspend works with the only
hitch that the screen goes all white before it blacks out and upon
unsuspending the screen is still all white with traces of colors of the
background.
Then with ACPI compiled in I tried dropping it to S1 with 'acpiinfo -s 1'.
Again it seems to drop into the state just fine, however the LCD does not
black out upon suspending. But the power light starts flashing like it
should. Then when you hit the power button the screen blanks out. However,
otherwise it unsuspends, I was able to sucessfully Ssh into the machine. I
don't know if it's related but changing the hw.acpi.reset_video to 0 made no
difference. Also to note, with X running S1 works fine with the exception
that when it is suspended the display does not turn off, but when you come
out of S1 the display goes back into X. I was able to sucessfully suspend it
and bring it back using the lidswitch too, with same exceptions. S3, S4 and
S5 all result in the computer rebooting though.
Processor is P4m. Video card is ATI Radeon 9k mobility.
If you need any other information please feel free to contact me.
