Pavillion support

[Clive bittlestone]

Hi,
   I have a pavilion ze4200 and would like to help get omnikey support going. I have read the documentation but I need some help on what to do next.

I'm obviously doing something wrong.

insmod omnibook works but
lsmod lists it as initializing forever?
/proc/omnibok does not exist

more /proc/modules
omnibook               26988 (initializing)
ide-cd                 28712   0 (autoclean)
.
.

omke.pl runs (only as root) but I am unable to get anything
to work, lcd on/off , touchpad control, etc.

insmod omnibook ectype=x where x=7,8,9 and lots of other numbers always seg faults.

insmod omnibook give this syslog
kernel: omnibook: module version 2003-01-09 is loaded.
kernel: omnibook: Unsupported model(36) or EC firmware(0).

make print for dmi_ident gives this
BIOS Vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.

I am using mandrake 9.0, 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

No ACPI/APM in kernel

I am about to go and compile pmtools as you reccomend.
to get the DSDT AML file.

Anything else you can suggest I go and look for? (I have not read the source yet..:)

Thanks

I am having the same problem with my Pavillion ZE4100. (seg faults, no hardware found, etc).
Here is my dmi output

Forgot to tell you what version of linux I'm running

Linux sonic.pensphreak.com 2.4.21-pre3-ac4 #1 Wed Jan 22 04:03:11 PST 2003 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

[Soós, Péter]

Please send me the AML files to see the architecture of your machine.

Regards,
Peter

[Kevin Margulieux]

AML files? What are those, and how do I get them?

[Soós, Péter]

Please read the README file, how to get the required info (DMI, DSDT etc.).

Regards,
Peter

[Clive bittlestone]

Kevin,
        the docs explain you need to get the pm tools from the intel website. After compiling these you can dump the files Peter is talking about.

Peter,
        I sent you the AML files except the big one (DSDT). I can't seem to paste it here, I'll send it directly to your email.

Clive B.

[Kevin Margulieux]

Peter, I sent you an email with the files you asked for.

I just wanted to confirm that the feb14th update does work on my ze4210.

- All one touch keys now give keycodes.
  I'm using xmodmap + xevact to control volume,mute and
  actions for all one touch butons. There may be
  a better way to do this.
- Ac line sense works, tested this one over and over !
- temp seems to work.

as expected per documentation with the release the following don't work.
- display sense does not work it never senses external display.
since Fn-F5 does not give a key code and I don't know how
to switch to the external display, I had to reboot with external
display attached. This works, but /proc/omnibook/display still
says no external display.
- lcd bright/blank not working.
- fan control etc....
- battery etc..

I'm not complaining, just wanted to confirm some success :)
Thanks Peter !

Ok some more, sorry to followup so soon.
the touch pad works (varies by application) ,
including the scroll section on the
right side.
The touch pad button (turn off touch pad) works.
Again, using kde,mandrake 9.0.

I still do not have working support with the Feb 14th update.

Using kernel version 2.4.21-pre4-ac4

[Kevin Margulieux]

Well... omke -k 1  gets my special keys to work... so I guess that's all I need for now, but insmod omnibook still shows an unsupported type.

[Soós, Péter]

Please try the newest code released today.

[Kevin Margulieux]

Segfault, here's my dmesg...
