Package: acerhk-source Version: 0.5.35-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After few frustrating reading sicles i read in the driver that it should not be run in amd64 mode. this quote : /* This driver is heavily dependent on the architecture, don't let 43 * anyone without an X86 machine use it. On laptops with AMD64 44 * architecture this driver is only useable in 32 bit mode. 45 */ explains it. perheps the gentoo patch should be added here (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_5102WLMi) the strange thing that this package is even instalable (since it can only work in 32bit). here is gentoo's patch . diff -bBur acerhk-0.5.35-old/acerhk.c acerhk-0.5.35/acerhk.c --- acerhk-0.5.35-old/acerhk.c 2007-02-10 17:46:23.000000000 +0200 +++ acerhk-0.5.35/acerhk.c 2007-04-28 19:18:49.000000000 +0300 @@ -550,6 +550,7 @@ */ static asmlinkage void call_bios_6xx(struct register_buffer *buf) { +#ifndef __x86_64__ if (bios_routine) { local_irq_disable(); __asm__ __volatile__( @@ -578,10 +579,12 @@ ); local_irq_enable(); } +#endif } static asmlinkage void call_bios_52x(struct register_buffer *buf) { +#ifndef __x86_64__ if (bios_routine) { local_irq_disable(); __asm__ __volatile__( @@ -611,6 +614,7 @@ ); local_irq_enable(); } +#endif } #define PRINT_BUFFER(x) \ @@ -783,7 +787,8 @@ unsigned char c = 0; spin_lock_irqsave (&rtc_lock, flags); -#ifndef DUMMYHW +/* #ifndef DUMMYHW */ +#if !(defined(DUMMYHW) || defined(__x86_64__)) if (cmos_index) c = CMOS_READ(cmos_index); else if (verbose > 3) @@ -867,9 +872,9 @@ static struct proc_dir_entry *proc_acer_dir; -static unsigned int __init find_hk_area(void) +static unsigned long __init find_hk_area(void) { - int offset, sig; + long offset, sig; unsigned int fkt; fkt = 0; sig = -1; /* offset to signature in io area */ @@ -887,9 +892,9 @@ fkt = readl(reg1 + sig + 5); /* adjust fkt to address of mapped IO area */ if (fkt >= 0xf0000) - fkt = (unsigned int)reg1 + fkt - 0xf0000; + fkt = (unsigned long)reg1 + fkt - 0xf0000; else if (fkt >= 0xe0000) - fkt = (unsigned int)reg1 + fkt - 0xe0000; + fkt = (unsigned long)reg1 + fkt - 0xe0000; else fkt = 0; } @@ -1144,6 +1149,7 @@ case 2000: case 2010: case 2020: + case 5100: /* Aspire 13xx series laptops use dritek hardware, no acerhk-mapping needed VolUp and VolDown are managed as normal keys @@ -1458,6 +1464,7 @@ case 1800: case 2010: case 2020: + case 5100: /* Dritek EC, bluetooth, wifi, mail */ acerhk_type = TM_dritek; acerhk_model_features = TM_F_MAIL_LED_EC2 | TM_F_WLAN_EC2 | TM_F_BLUE_EC2; @@ -1792,6 +1799,8 @@ break; case '2': series = 5020; break; } + } else if (str[8] == '1' && str[9] == '0') { + series = 5100; } else { if (verbose > 1) printk(KERN_INFO"acerhk: model string indicates unknown Aspire 5xxx series\n"); @@ -2117,7 +2126,8 @@ /* polling timer handler */ static void acerhk_poll_event(unsigned long save_size) { -#ifndef DUMMYHW +/* #ifndef DUMMYHW */ +#if !(defined(DUMMYHW) || defined(__x86_64__)) unsigned int max = MAX_POLLING_LOOPS; /* make sure not to loop more then 32 times */ if (!max || max > 32) @@ -2139,7 +2149,8 @@ { if (acerhk_blueled_blinking != -1) { acerhk_blueled_blinking = !acerhk_blueled_blinking; -#ifndef DUMMYHW +/* #ifndef DUMMYHW */ +#if !(defined(DUMMYHW) || defined(__x86_64__)) wbutton_fct_1(acerhk_blueled_blinking); #endif acerhk_timer_blinking.expires = jiffies + acerhk_blueled_blinking_delay; @@ -2904,7 +2915,8 @@ /* attach to input system */ init_input(); memset(acerhk_model_string, 0x00, ACERHK_MODEL_STRLEN); -#ifdef DUMMYHW +/* #ifdef DUMMYHW */ +#if !(defined(DUMMYHW) || defined(__x86_64__)) acerhk_model_addr = (void*)0x12345678; /* copy the string, but not more than 15 characters */ strncpy(acerhk_model_string, "TravelmateDummy", ACERHK_MODEL_STRLEN-1); -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acerhk-source depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii debhelper 6.0.11 helper programs for debian/rules ii make 3.81-4 The GNU version of the "make" util ii module-assistant 0.10.11.0 tool to make module package creati acerhk-source recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
