New DSDT patches for Smart Batteries (and new mailing list...)

New DSDT patches for Smart Batteries (and new mailing list...)

[Rich Townsend]

Hi all --

A quick message to announce:

1) That I've just uploaded a new release of the DSDT patches to the 
Smart Battery project page on SourceForge,

and

2) That I've created a new SourceForge mailing list, sbs-linux-announce, 
as a way to send out announcements like this in the future.

cheers,

Rich

Thanks for your continued efforts.
Unfortunately, it's not yet working correctly on my laptop (An ACER 
travelmate 4001 Lmi). It's always the case than when the battery is 
fully loaded, it only indicates 9% of charging level. I have already 
send you my original and patched DSDT but maybe you didn't had time to 
look at it. Unfortunately, I doesn't know anything about coding and 
programming so I can't investigate myself the problem.

Thanks for your help,
François Valenduc

Did you get any success with Rich' acpi-sbs driver? This is
independent of the DSDT (but requires a patched kernel).

Yes, it works quite reliably with the acpi-sbs driver. But Rich said me 
that he will upload soon new DSDT patches which should solve the 
problem. So I am waiting impatiently for it.

hello Rich,

Finally, I got some time to try out your dsdt patches and I've got one problem.

I've dissassembled, patched and re-assembled my dsdt, set it up as initrd, since
I'm not currently using one and fired up the patched kernel.

The battery/ac information was ok, but some internal fan kept blowing air at
full speed. It's one of those internal fans that I've never seen working under
normal conditions, only when the DSDT gets messed up in some way.

The laptop is a travelmate 4001WLMi bought in September/2004.

Have you got any information regarding this subject?

Thanks for your contributions. They're allways welcome!

regards,
pedro venda.

Hi Pedro --

Have you tried the latest (December 2004 or more recent) Intel compiler? 
Older versions seem to produce problems with fans.

cheers,

Rich
