[GIT PATCH] ACPI paches for 2.6.24-rc0
Hi Linus,
please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git release
Multiple random branches which have been queued for a while...
A new platform specific driver for Fujitsu laptops.
cpuidle is new, and is not perfect, but it seems time for it to get it upstream
where it will get some wider exposure now that people are doing things
like running powertop to tune tickless kernels...
The old ACPI idle code runs when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n.
This will update the files shown below.
thanks!
-Len

Unfortunately, I don't have much time (at least the next days) to help
here much.
IMO this should work. Like that there is no need in Thinkpad to fiddle
with hardcoded "\\_SB.../_BCL" paths to find out whether brightness is
supported. Just check for a global variable video_funcs_supported ->
take hands off display switching and brightness_funcs_supported -> take
hands off brightness control. This should work out fine for other vendor
specific drivers also.
FYI:
1)
If I read the thinkpad code right, it always relies on that brightness
level can be read through EC at address 0x31?
I have a T60 here where this does not work, I can switch (only in
console) the brightness levels and there is no change in at any ec
address. So this really must use _BCM,_BCL?
2)
I also found in my X logs on a T60:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Error: Unable to find DOS (Enable/Disable output switching)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): file path under /proc/acpi/video. NVIDIA X driver will not
(WW) NVIDIA(0): be able to respond to display change hotkey events.
Intel graphics drivers and possibly others probably also want to make
use of this.
So I think switching to video driver here (thinkpad must not touch this
then anymore I expect) makes a lot of sense. I wonder how many
people/tools made use of /proc/acpi/ibm/video?
3)
I think I found a bug in thinkpad_acpi:
if (!*ibm->acpi->handle)
return 0;
in setup_acpi_notify(..) probably should be:
if (!ibm->acpi->handle)
return 0;

HP dv2125nr suspend to ram problems
Hi, Can anyone here help me figure out my problems with suspend to ram on my laptop? My system is an HP dv2125nr laptop, which is an AMD64 system with an integrated nVidia graphics chipset and a Broadcom 4311 based wireless chip. The system is running Gentoo linux. The problem is that suspend to ram has become very flaky on my laptop. It used to be much more reliable on my laptop about 6 months ago (I'd say 2.6.18 was the kernel I was running then.) Now when I suspend (using gnome-power-manager 2.18.3), 1 of 4 things happens (with approximately equal likelihood): 1) System reboots itself 2) Kernel panic (blinking caps lock) 3) Complete hang (w/o blinking caps lock) 4) Suspends fine When the system manages to suspend, resume works great. This is occurring for me even now on 2.6.22 (Gentoo patchset r8) Because this is an intermittent problem, testing different kernel configs and versions has been difficult, since STR working once does not guarantee that the problem is solved. I'd appreciate any help, even if it's just ways that I can see what's going on and where it's failing. Thanks in advance.

Problem with GPRS modem
Hi, I've got a SonyEricsson GC89 GPRS/EDGE pcmcia card (serial), but I can't get to work it (on my laptop Acer TravelMate 4152LMi). The problem is that the connection is very, very slow (download rate about 0,5KB/s) and I've got more then 20% rx errors on ppp0 interface. The system (I tried FC5, FC7, Ubuntu 6.04, Ubuntu 7.04 and Ubuntu 7.10) can recognize this card, I can make ppp connection to GPRS/EDGE network. But this connection is really very slow, and I think. What I found is when I boot system with acpi=off parameter everything works great, I' ve got transfers about 20-25KB/s with no rx errors on ppp0 interface. I'm really not sure if this problem is related to acpi subsystem (maybe this is pcmcia or pppd problem), but I have to try. >From dmesg: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 PCI: Enabling device :03:00.1 ( -> 0001) ACPI: PCI Interrupt :03:00.1[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 :03:00.1: ttyS4 at I/O 0xa000 (irq = 16) is a 16550A lspci -vv: 03:00.1 Serial controller: Broadcom Corporation EDGE/GPRS data and 802.11b/g combo cardbus [GC89] (rev 03) (prog-if 02 [16550]) Subsystem: Unknown device 18de:0003 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort+ SERR- http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

No. It can get it from NVRAM too in the latest code, and it will do the right thing on the newer Lenovo BIOSes. > I have a T60 here where this does not work, I can switch (only in > console) the brightness levels and there is no change in at any ec > address. So this really must use _BCM,_BCL? See above. But you do need a *very* recent thinkpad-acpi. I.e. what is in acpi-test, or what is in my development versions. But it *is* still better to use _BCM, _BCL, _BQC when available. > 2) > I also found in my X logs on a T60: > (WW) NVIDIA(0): Error: Unable to find DOS (Enable/Disable output switching) > (WW) NVIDIA(0): file path under /proc/acpi/video.
