Story of success

[Robert]

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
