Re: Re: acpi on medion laptop

[Nicolas Olivero]

hello, 
first thanks for trying to help me....
I compiled both kernel 2.4.23 and 2.6.0 but i still have the same problem.
acpi works for my battery, i can see its level, but i can't see the thermal, fan informations :( 
another idea to resolve my problem?

does it mean that my processor is in danger? i think my fan works less often than before without acpi...

thanks for any help!

are you checking the files under /proc/acpi, or only using
/usr/bin/acpi? Maybe the information is there, only the program is too
old to read it correctly? Also, which version of 2.6.0 are you using?
I think there were some ACPI fixes in the recently released
2.6.0-test8.

Cheers
Robert

You can also try to modify your DSDT. Take a look to acpi.sf.net. Read 
all sections. Try advices. I have spent lots of time before set up my 
laptop :)

Your processor support C2, so it is a little bit more cooled when going
to the idle loop if you do not enable acpi.

There is also good chance that your dsdt do not have any kind of
thermal support from acpi point-of-view.

acpi on medion laptop

[nicolas.olivero-39ZsbGIQGT5GWvitb5QawA]

Hello,
I have some problems to make work acpi on my new laptop.
I have just install mandrake9.2.
In order to have acpi, i compile my own kernel 2.4.22 with the last
patch acpi.
 
extraxt of my .config :
#
# ACPI Support
#
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_RELAXED_AML is not set
 
After booting on my new kernel, i notice that my fan works less often
than before and as i can't see the temperature i'm anxious for my laptop....
 
The good thing is that now i can see the level of my battery .
 
[root@localhost han]# acpi -V
     Battery 1: charging, 88%, 00:50:20 until charged
No support for device type: thermal
  AC Adapter 1: on-line
 
[root@localhost han]# acpid
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
 
[root@localhost han]# modprobe thermal
modprobe: Can't locate module thermal
 
 
But i can't see the temperature of my computer...
How can i make this work fine?
 
Here is my dmesg log
 
Thanks for any help.

Hello!

I have ASUS M3700N laptop. And I have experienced problems like you 
yours. The cure is one of the following:
(1) Use last 2.4.23 kernel and make sure, that you have applied last 
acpi patch (or it contains it inside).
(2) Use last 2.6.0 kernel. Everything is working fine now.
