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]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 950 bytes --]

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

These are valid warnings from the compiler. It certainly can't do
anything about BIOS writers that simply refuse to follow the ACPI spec
:-(

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

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, 
 
Radoslaw

I cn live wih that, if I can get informations on the battery state. But
what is rally anoying is the prplemwith the missig keyoard and mouse events.

See what i mean? Suppose you try to log in or type the password of your
mailaccount! Last time I had to try 5 times ... X-|

This did not happen with linux-2.6.11.11 and the acpi_sbs-20050120
package from Rich Townsend (acpi-ec-2.6.10.diff, modules i2c-acpi-ec and
acpi-sbs).

And it is interesting, that it does not happen when the battery is
missing. The question is: Is it a problem with the DSDT or with the
kernel code?

Is there any patch available that I can try. Or is there a acpi_sbs
version that compiles with recent kernel versions? It is not very
effective to hit each key twice...
