Subject: Help with Averatec C3500

Message-ID: <442EB141.5040205@linuxkidd.com> (raw)

Hello all,
 I have an Averatec C3500 Convertible Tablet PC.  With the initial bios 
version that ships with the unit, USB and PCMCIA both work fine in 
linux.  However, there is a terrible keyboard lag and dropped keys.  The 
follow-on bios revisions fixed the keyboard issues, but caused USB and 
PCMCIA to both stop working.  Note: All devices continue to operate fine 
in Windows.  I'm posting this here in hopes that someone will take 
interest in this issue ( there are several others trying to use linux on 
these laptops. )  I've captured dmesg output after enabling 
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG in the kernel config, and the 
output from lspci -vvxxx, as well as the DSDT output from both the 
original BIOS ( USB working / Keyboard not ) and the latest BIOS 
revision ( USB Not working / Keyboard works great ).

The link for all this captured data is: http://www.linuxkidd.com/c3500   
I've detailed the machine hardware, running kernel, etc.. as well as 
linked to all the above described captures.

After posting the above request to the linux-usb list, Alan Stern 
responded with:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the log, the I/O memory mappings for the USB and PCMCIA
controllers aren't getting set up. It's not a USB or PCMCIA issue at all;
you should ask for help on the PCI and ACPI mailing lists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, here I am...

If there's anything else I can provide to assist in troubleshooting,
Please ask!  I'd really like to get this working.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Michael J. Kidd
