Hi guys ....
i am watching this project now since may or march this year and i want
to let all know that i am now
quite satisfied with the ACPI implementation i have here .
I am using patch 20021002 with 2.4.18 + preempt + swsusp for 20020918 (!)
and i can sucessfully use acpid to sent me messages (and acpid_proxy
handles them ) when i change from AC to battery or wise versa .
I can also use my PowerButton and see / change CPU throtteling (which
doesent make sense for since i am using a TRANSMETA CPU)
i can use standard ( .. well patched ) KDE klaptopdaemon to get my
battery state ....and have a look at the temparature my Crusou is
swetting ..:-)
The only thing i ve to do is :
Ive to boot using lilo and give mem= XXXM as kernel parameter otherwise
i get a AE_NOMEMORY error with ACPI
I think this is because Linux doesnt notice ( or the BIOS doenst
correctly tell ) that the transmeta takes approx 16MB of my onboard RAM
for his CodeMorphing(c) thing ...
ask me , but it is strange that a OS from "a" guy who is working for a
CPU manufacturer doesnt get together ... anyhow
I am really looking forward to the day when i will have S3 running and
also can use S4 ... well i have the swsusp patch and i can
supend/restore many times , but
a little important app which i use to acces a certain IO Port to
increase/decrease the backlight level of my lcd is broken after a
restore and doesnt send what it should ...
the developers of swsusp mentioned somewhere that there is a problem
with broken terminal enviroments ... anyhow
As far as now i am very pleased of what i see and it proves that OPEN
SOURCE is still THE best way to get a good relation between CONTROL ,
COST and EFFORT !!
Keep up going and greetings to LINUS
Cheers Rob
