Hi !
I don't have much knowlegde about ACPI :-(
What I have is a device called "FuturePad PC" which has some four
keys at the bottom and one double key at the side. It also has a
button on the left side to switch it off, which works fine with
Linux' ACPI, acpid and /etc/acpi/events/powerbt
When I run Linux 2.6.16 (the Debian variety), and
press one of the keys, I get this error output:
ACPI Error (evregion-0303): No handler for Region [ASI2] (bebb42a4) [user_defined_region] [20060127]
ACPI Error (exfldio-0279): Region user_defined_region(81) has no handler [20060127]
ACPI Exception (dswexec-0458): AE_NOT_EXIST, While resolving operands for [AE_NOT_CONFIGURED] [20060127]
ACPI Error (psparse-0517): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._L2A] (Node bebaffe0), AE_NOT_EXIST
ACPI Exception (evgpe-0553): AE_NOT_EXIST, While evaluating method [_L2A] for GPE[ 0] [20060127]
Now I googled for "region 81" and "ASI2" and have some questions:
a) there is a driver for some "Atlas Wallmount Touchscreen" device from
Jaya Kumar which claims to implement something for region 81 (whatever that
is). I took the code from
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-acpi&m=115391161115058&w=2,
compiled that and loaded it as a module. That worked so far. But it didn't
change anything, I still get those errors.
Is there any documented way on how to implement kernel support for
arbitrary ACPI buttons?
b) I used "iaml" to dissemble my dsdt. There I found a section like this:
Scope (\_SB)
{
Device (ASIM)
{
Name (_HID, "ASIM0000")
Name (_GPE, 0x00)
Name (_UID, 0x00)

}
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (0x0F)
}
}
}
Here I see both 'ASI2' and 0x81. In what relation is this code to any
possible kernel module that I could write?
c) one error messages referred to some "AE_NOT_EXIST, While evaluating
method [_L2A]" (hey, the "While" should be "while"!). Whatever an AE is.
Anyway, I found a method named _L2A in my dsdt.dsl:
Method (_L2A, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store (0x2A, DEBP)
If (LEqual (\_SB.ASIM.BNS3, 0x00))
{
If (\_SB.PCI0.PM.EGS2)
{
Store (0x00, \_SB.ASIM.BNSU)
}
Else
{
Store (0x01, \_SB.ASIM.BNEU)
Store (0x01, \_SB.ASIM.BNSU)
}
}
Else
{
If (LEqual (\_SB.PCI0.PM.EGS2, 0x00))
{
BRTU ()
STBS ()
}
}
}
Anything erraneous with that?
d) When I recompile my dsdt.dsl file, I get 3 errors and a bunch of
warnings (but not in the area of the above posted ASI2 stuff. Also,
the ACPI output in "dmesg" don't look erraneous to me. Shoud I still
seek help in this list to fix the DSDT?
