Hi,

The problem *may* be that the ACPI interrupt is not being set to active-low,
level-triggered properly (we do this for PCI irqs but not our own ;-)

Is your acpi interrupt shared with any PCI devices? If the above hypothesis
is true, the answer should be "no".

I don't know about people's comfort level with the code, but you might try
adding a call to eisa_set_level_irq(<ACPI irq #>) and seeing if that gets
interrupts happening properly. kacpid should not be necessary but obviously
until SCIs work 100% it remains useful for some people.

Hi Andy,

nice to hear you're back from vacation! (Hum, well, not quite as nice
for yourself, I guess...!)

AHA!

I own one of those machines that need eisa_set_level_irq() for some
builtin devices, and I have never seen any events coming out of
/var/log/acpid so far. The ACPI interrupt is not shared with anything.

So I really guess you are right and eisa_set_level_irq(9) might be
needed to turn ACPI interrupt reporting on. I'll add this call next
time I build a kernel.

Hi!

It works on my Gericom M6T. I have added "eisa_set_level_irq(9);" in the 
pci_irq.c at line 365.
Now I get events from LID, Powerbutton and I can even use the special 
function keys to set the backlight :-)

Re: No events when pressing power button

[Arndt Schoenewald]

Hi Andy,

great, another ACPI problem/mystery solved! We are making progress!

Now that we found out that calling eisa_set_level_irq(ACPI_IRQ_NUMBER)
does turn on ACPI event reporting for some machines, would you please
include this call into the ACPI patch proper?

I am really looking forward to the current ACPI implementation making
it into the 2.4 kernel baseline!

Thank you very much for your ongoing efforts!

Arndt

Hi,

I've already tried this but it doesn't work on my machine. I think this
problem wasn't solved completely.

Where should I add it? To ex. button.c?

Very cool.

I think handling both PIC and IOAPIC will make fixing this a little bit of
work, but thanks for confirming the source of the problem.

Thanks -- Regards -- Andy

One person (don't remember who) reported that after a S3 it didn't worked
any more on a toshiba satellite 3000 514.

Perhaps it is a 'only toshiba' trouble, though.

I reported that and it is after a S1 when no more events were
recognized except the power button.

Have you already tried an UP kernel without IOAPIC support?
My Dual PII board has the same problem but events are working without
IOAPIC interrupt routing.

Same problem with my board. I posted it here several times, but it seems
that nobody has an idea about its solution.

No events when pressing power button

[Tony Glader]

Hi!

I patched my kernel (2.4.18) today with latest version of acpi-patch 
(acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff). My power button gets detected but I dont get 
any events from it. I have a ABit BP6 with dual celeron processors.

Acpi reports at boot:

ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
ACPI: Processor [CPU] (supports C1)
ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1)
ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (46 C)

What could be wrong? I tried latest acpid rpm and 'cat /proc/acpi/event' 
without results. Acpid doesn't write nothing to /var/log/acpid when I 
press power button.

If you want to read from /proc/acpi/event directly, kill acpid. Otherwise,
the event will be consumed by acpid and you'll never see anything on
/proc/acpi/event.

If you want to see things from acpid, you need to define an event (acpid
won't log any activity unless it has an action defined for the event).
The event matching is regex-based, so you can define a single action
(for instance, append to some log file, for debugging) for any event
using '.*' (or any button event using 'button .*'). Take a look at
the example /etc/acpid/events/sample file (I think that's the name).

Of course I killed acpid. Otherwise I just got something like 'Device or 
resource busy'.

I have defined that pushing button should run '/sbin/shutdown -h 0'.

I also noticed that ACPI doesn't power off everytime my computer when I 
shutdown it. About in 50% shutdowns it powers off and 50% doesn't.
