i'm having success with the above features. Currently I'm-a-runnin 2.6.10 with support for swsusp. I have the smartbattery(i2c-dev) and I'm using Mr. Townsend's i2c-acpi-ec which I think he said is slightly modified from someone who's name escapes me sorry. I'm also using acpi-sbs.. My machine is an ACER 3200Xci which is just like the "ferrari" 3200 but I live in ASIA so maybe it's slightly different.
I am also able to suspend using swsusp core (2.1.5.12). But I must remove all the i2c modules or we get a nasy! Before I didn't remove the modules and swsusp failed to resume (it suspend okay) but I think i2c-core module was causing the a problem. Now using Mr. Townsend's stuffs, it suspends and resumes just dandy. it looks like i2c core functionality is fine after re-inserting the modules. Thanks heaps by the way I was so bummed about this smart battery issue..
Now 3 error messages:
when removing the i2c-dev modules I get the following:
"i2c-dev does not have a release() function, be careful"
"i2c-adaptor does not have a release() function, be careful"
"Kernel: losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed"
I notice this message happens every 30 seconds which corresponds to the setting I have for gkrellm to poll the /proc attery dir I remember seeing someone mention that i2c reads are very slow and causes the entire system to lock up.. well I rekon this is happening to me.. Is "losing ticks" a bad thing?
Finally an observation:
Upon engaging the battery and subsequently charging again, I notice the battery light comes on and off (in my case it the LED goes from "off not lit" state to "orange" charge state roughly every 62 seconds ( I was hoping it would be 30 seconds) but no such luck. This seems to be reported by other people as well.
Okay thanks again for this, its a killer ap dude
