Acer Extensa 3002 WLMi: DSDT fixed but system misses keyboard and mouse events

Acer Extensa 3002 WLMi: DSDT fixed but system misses keyboard and mouse events

[Berthold Cogel]

Hello!

I couldn't use the DSDT Olaf Jansen-Olliges send me some weeks ago for
my Acer because of the different amount of memory, so I tried it myself
again.

First I fixed the original DSDT and then patched it with
acer-tm4xxx-sbs-cm.diff from the sbs-linux project. There are still
warnings from iasl (20050930) for smbus-cm.asl. I've attached the
source, the resulting DSDT and the output of iasl.

I include the DSDT as initrd and boot the kernel with ec_burst=1 as
kernel parameter.

Almost everything works as expected except that the system is missing
keyboard and mouse events when the battery is inserted. This is nothing
for fast writers. When I'm working only with ac-adapter, everything is
ok. The logs don't show any errors.


Kernel:

linux-2.6.14-rc3, suspend2, acpi-dsdt-initrd-patch


Hardware:

Acer Extensa 3002 WLMi
Pentium M 725 1,6 GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB HD
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
Intel 802.11 b/g Wlan


Best regards,

Berthold

Hello!  
  
I can confirm the same problems (missing mouse events, and also bad keyboard  
behaviour, ie missing keystrokes and multiplying keys with single press when  
typing even not-so-fast).  
  
I fixed DSDT and patched it with acer-tm4xxx-sbs-cm.diff from the sbs-linux  
project. I have the same warnings from iasl (20050930) as Berthold Cogel. 
 
I have DSTD compiled right into kernel, and boot it with ec_burst=1. 
 
Kernel:  
 
linux-2.6.14-rc5-git6, suspend2 
 
(I've tried also 2.6.14-rc3, 2.6.13.1 witch ec_burst patch) 
 
Hardware:  
   
Acer TravelMate 4001 LMi  
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600  
Intel 802.11 b/g Wlan 
 
Regards 
 
Radoslaw

Hi!
i've got the same notebook (tm4001LMI - 512mb ram - ati9600 - ipw2200).
I'm still using acpi-sbs kernel modules to read my battery, but this doesn't 
enable me to suspend-to-ram. if fixing the DSDT does, can you send your fixed 
dsdt as attachement? would be great to turn on-off the machine in a snap!
thanx ahead!
john

this hardware manufacturers vs linux users battle is getting on my nerves! I 
had to battle to get my radeon card doing composite... >HAD ENOUGH< can't 
believe that with this many (and on growing) number of linux users don't 
matter to hardware manufacturers .

No, fixing DSDT only enables me to drop acpi-sbs kernel modules (which in turn 
cause problem with disappearing battery entries from /proc/acpi for me). 
Suspend-to-ram neither works with acpi-sbs nor with patched/fixed DSDT. Laptop 
suspends to ram but after pressing Power Button or any of the keys there is 
only disk spin-up but screen stays dark and USB power is down (mouse and 
external keyboard stay dark) and touching Caps Lock does nothing. 
 
So, with acpi-sbs modules I had problem with disappearing battery, but keyboard 
worked OK. With patched/fixed DSDT battery is OK, but keyboard behaves bad. 
With the two I chose the latter and attached external USB keyboard which works 
OK. 
 
If you are still interested I can send you my patched/fixed DSDT, just drop me 
private message. 
 
Regards,

thanx! but i aint got any probs with acpi-sbs, exept sometimes i get a whole 
lot of keypesses when i only press a key 
onceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...oops, and i had to delete some - well 
that's a good example :D - suspend-to-ram is same for me, the unfriendly 
black screen and no reactions, no luck. hope they'll update their bios, or 
better, hope linux-bios gets something going on for i855 series motherboards.
cheers
