Hi ! I just subscibed to this list. From watching some messages, I understand the ACPI is not really progressing in 2.4. kernel, s that correct ? The sourceforge webpages unfortunately don't contain much information on the developement status, neither about the sources. So, a few questions : is there an official sourcetree, or whatever is developed is in the 2.5.x kernel ? Is 2.4.x kernel is to be maintained with the latest ACPI changes ? If not, then is it posible to take the ACPI subsystem from 2.5 kernels and recompile with 2.4, or are there incompatible kernel interfaces involved ? The reason I got involved in ACPI is that I got HP Pavillion ze5155 laptop, and it doesn't have any APM, it's pure ACPI. Looks like power buttons is the only OSPM component that is processed correctly. Removing battery/ ac adaptor doesn't even trigger SCI (according to /proc/interrupts), so I guess not all of the statuses are enabled. Also, battery status returned is always 0x0f, so the battery is believed to be absent all the time. I'm not sure how to identify the ACPI bios, so I can report what kind is it. The motherboard is ALi M<something>, that's all I know. Thanks ! Pawel. |
