Hello,

I had to add a new entry to the hdaps_whitelist table in hdaps.c to get
my Thinkpad R52 recognized. Patch is attached

Here is a patch for Z60m. hdaps seems working fine - pivot utility reports values
that match description by R. Love sent to this ml few months ago.

OK, I grabbed this, and will merge it into another patch altering the
same device list.

[PATCH 2.6.16-rc4] hdaps: add support for Thinkpad R52

[Frank Gevaerts]

This adds support for my Thinkpad R52, which for some reason is not
matched by the "ThinkPad R52" line.

I have some doubt about this. The Thinkpad R52 is already supported
(with identifier string "ThinkPad R52", unsuprisingly) and "ThinkPad H"
doesn't exactly sound sane. Looks like your DMI data is corrupted or
something. Could you please provide the output of dmidecode and
vpddecode on your laptop?

Anyone else with a Thinkpad R52 can provide the same information for
comparison?

Feel free to send the outputs to me privately if you don't want to make
them public.

Thanks,

OK, so as strange as it sounds, that's really the string as stored in
the DMI table. How odd... You have to understand that I'm a bit
reluctant to adding it officially to the hdaps driver, given that it
clearly looks like a bogus table in your laptop. I guess that you only
have one laptop with this string?

Can you please check for a BIOS update for your laptop? Maybe that will
fix the string.

Thanks,

Yes. That's where I looked when I made the patch.

If I am the only one with that entry, it obviously makes more sense that
I apply the patch locally.

> I guess that you only have one laptop with this string?

It's the only thinkpad I have, so yes. I'll ask around on the thinkwiki
mailing list and irc channels

I updated the bios and embedded controller program to the latest
version, and that didn't help. The dmidecode output changed as follows:

I just had a mail from another R52 user, reporting that his system
(also 1846AQG) also reports ThinkPad H.

Hi Franck,

Sorry for the late answer...

I gathered data on my side too, the three R52 I had reports for used
"ThinkPad R52" but these had different machine type/model. I guess that
the 1846AQG is somehow different, but probably you don't know why?

So I suppose we could add that "ThinkPad H" identifier string to the
hdaps driver after all, as you proposed in the first place. I'm only
worried that the "H" suffix is really short, and I hope that no other
model not supported by the driver (or needing the invert option) will
ever have the same identifier. Time will tell.

Thanks,

No.

If it turns out to be a problem, the best solution might be to also
(optionally) check the 'Product Name' field. I don't know how hard this
would be.

I am told that a newer BIOS of the Thinkpad R52 fixes the machine name
in the DMI table.
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/List_of_DMI_IDs#R_series
Can you please confirm this by upgrading the BIOS of your machine and
removing the "ThinkPad H" entry from the hdaps driver?

Thanks,

BIOS 1.25 does indeed report "ThinkPad R52" instead of "ThinkPad H", and
hdaps without "ThinkPad H" works as expected.
