Hi,

Could someone give me a hint, like
"you need a never kernel" or
"you need to give us more info" or
"read more on that site" or
"your problem can't be solved" or something like that.

Regards,

Hi again,

I should clarify that I'm running Debian Etch (testing) with Linux
kernel 2.6.12-1-686.

I have now tried to recompile the dsdt and got the following output.
How should I correct the warnings? Could this warnings have anything to do 
with my battery problems? Why is the new compiled DSDT.aml much smaller 
than the dumped one? I small difference in size is okay, I guess. But 13% 
smaller, is that okay?

Hi,

I'm new to this list and I have just got a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M-3438G 
which I'm installing Debian on.

I have some problems with ACPI on the machine. The problems I have found so 
far is that;
- I don't get any events when the battery is discharged or running low
- The lid button only reports close events so the lid-state is always
  "closed"
- I don't know if "Fn"-keys should be reported via ACPI or not?
  I only get the "sleep mode" Fn-key event, no other Fn-keys.
- I don't get events for "special hot keys" like "silent mode", etc
  (The Amilo M3438 has 4 hot keys above the Fn-keys)

Things that do work;
- Power button generate event
- I get events for AC, CPU and BAT when I add or remove AC-adator
- As mentioned above Fn-key for sleep button works
- I can read battery state and battery info. Remaining capacity and voltage
  seams to be okay. Remaining capacity is like 2 mAh just before the
  machine dies. Warning and low levels seams to be calculated from
  "last full capacity", I don't know if that is the way it should be done?
- Thermal Zone seams to work, get values in the range 31 C - 53 C

My questions are if I have to compile a new DSDT or if I should do 
something else to correct the problems. And what things should or can ACPI 
support (like Fn-keys or hot keys, etc)?

I changed the scripts in /etc/acpi to send all unknown events via logger to 
/var/log/messages

If I remove the AC, I get the following;

ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000000
battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
processor CPU1 00000080 00000006

If I connect the AC, I get;

ac_adapter AC0 00000080 00000001
battery BAT0 00000080 00000001
processor CPU1 00000080 00000005
