Hi!
I?m Nicolas from argentina. sorry about my english.

First of all. thanks for give me a hope.

I can use the 915resolution manualy, but i can?t configure to run on sturt up.

When I use the "update-rc.d 915resolution defaults" promp tells me: "bash: update-rc.d: command not found"

Sorry but I?m new in linux. Tnx

Hi, I also get these key error, but these err do not affect my card. I only wonder whether you have modprobe -r ipw2200, modeprobe ipw2200 after you press the button. If you have tried it, and still fail, then I have no idea.

Good luck

Hi again Li Zhao,

Thank you for replying! I went back and did a few test and still could not make the WiFi work without booting into Windows first.
That I was giving the keycode result because, when the Wifi button works, if I press it to turn off the Wifi, I get keycode e056, press it again to turn on, I'll get e055, and so on.
But if it doesn't work properly (I don't boot into Windows first), every time I press the button, I always get e056, and Wifi is always disabled.

What would you suggest?

Thanks a lot

Kris

I think the 506 message can be ignored, at least on my laptop, the message does not prevent my wireless network on. but after press the button, you may need to modprobe -r ipw2200, and then modprobe ipw2200 again. good luck

Hello Li Zhao,
Thanks to the internet, I found your website. Could you help me out a little. I followed your instruction to install Ubuntu Breezy Badger on my 3002WTCi, I skipped the ACPI and Sound part because I want to get my Wireless working first. My problem is, I have to boot into Windows first, and then reboot into Linux, for the front panel WiFi button to work. If I don't, every time I press the button, the log message will always show keycode is e056 (which means disable wifi).

Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Kris

2006-01-21T23:48:00.000+08:00

Hi. I've installed Kubuntu Dapper (unstable) on this machine. ACPI and APIC does not work though. I've tried the ACPI stuff (compiling kernel 2.6.15 with the modified DSDT, but ACPI still don't read battery status from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state). I haven't tried APIC though, since it requires compiling the kernel again. Do you know how to fix it on 2.6.15 or even dapper in general?

DRI works both on badger (xorg 6.8.2) and dapper (7.0) by the way. :)

2005-12-12T17:56:00.000+08:00

Hi Chat:

I have my own DSDT file compiled from a modified version, following the instruction of this guide.

I uploaded the DSDT source file to the acpi web site. You can download it and test it.

See you.

2005-12-01T16:46:00.000+08:00

hi TheEfrit,
did you try to compile dsdt by yourself yet? (that is, download ACER-Travelmate_3000-3C18-custom.asl and compile it with iasl).

I compiled it and I got a different DSDT.aml, judging by its size compared to DSDT files provided by this page. I can't test it myself since my notebook is not here yet.

note: you will need to compile iasl from source too. It uses flex to generate the scanner. Unfortunately, the current flex version (2.5.31) on ubuntu is buggy. You will need 2.5.4.

Hi, the patch is modified based on another patch (http://chaosfactory.org/linux/). I cannot pretend that I know what are these files for. I only modified some lines to remove compiling error.

2005-11-22T12:17:00.000+08:00

Where do the new io_apic.c and mpparse.c come from? Are these patches you've written, or are they from somewhere else?

If it's stuff you've written, has it been submitted to the kernel maintainers? And can you able to explain what they do? (I'd be keen to get them included in the kernel)

2005-11-15T11:38:00.000+08:00

for 1st point, please copy my patch files to correct place, and the following process roughly is:
1. cp /boot/config-2.6.12-9-386 /usr/src/linux-source-xxx/.config /*for ubuntu 5.10*/
2. cd /usr/src/linux-source-xxx
3. make menuconfig /*to change ur config, here, nothing to be changed to enable sound card*/
4. make
5. make modules_install
6. cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.12
7. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12
8. mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12
9. config your grub

This is the process in my brain now, but I am not sure whether it is exact the complete process. If you find any problem, please try google :-D

for the 2nd point, you can save the DSDT.ps to DSDT.aml, and copy it to the right place. (my website does not permit me to upload *.aml file, thus, i changed the .aml to .ps)

u can config ur grub and restart. acpi should work then

2005-11-15T00:24:00.000+08:00

aloha

thanks a lot for your help so far. you're my hero ;)

2 Big wishes:
could you please explain how to get the sound working step by step? i haven't compiled a kernel yet but am willing to do it for ubuntu :)

Your DSDT.aml is named DSDT.ps, why? Also what exactly have you done on the newest version of ubuntu (5.10) to make it work?

Thank you so much, if i have acpi and sound i can really switch.

Bye Richard from Montpellier, France.

Hi all
This post just to say that:
I have build a new relase of 915resolution
4.6.1

You can find it here

2005-10-01T09:37:00.000+08:00

Actually, I haven't touch these files.
I just follow the intruction in my article and breezy is installed smoothly.
I am not linux expert on laptop, especially when I have no ubuntu installed to try. (my laptop is running windows now)

hehe
as i spent 1 week to solve all problems on my laptop, what i can suggest is to try more.

If you get any solution, hope I can get suggestions from you when i meet problems, as I plan to install 5.10 at the end of next month.

2005-09-30T09:46:00.000+08:00

I have detected that /etc/init.d/acpid freeze when it try to load ac module, edditing /etc/defaults/acpid an changing modules for load could stop freeze but acpi still with out work, whan can i try?

At startup i can see acpi kernel errors and a kernel panic from some acpi modules.

In startup i have removed noacpi anf acpi=off

Thanks.

2005-09-05T06:27:00.000+08:00

Yes, I've removed the acpi=off from the grub option. When I don't load the DSDT.aml file, the ACPI can read the thermal status and the AC status, despite of the gnome battery aplet, which can't guess the status of the AC power status. I guess, it must be a bad configuration of the kernel. I'll try to find out, but now I have my Ubuntu almost completely configurated and working, it's good enough.

See you!

2005-09-04T23:35:00.000+08:00

The last chance --- did you remove acpi=off from your grub/menu.list? If use initrd, the parameter must be removed, i think, otherwise, i have totally no idea about ur case. ;-)

2005-09-04T22:50:00.000+08:00

Hi

I tried both options, with the make "deb" package and without it. I also generated the initramfs with mkinitramfs and copying the DSDT.aml file to /etc/mkinitramfs. The kernel is also compiled with the load DSDT file option in Power Options, and when I boot and image with the DSDT file appended, I can see at the begining of the booting process the data related with the ACPI functions loaded from the DSDT file, but when the boot process enters in the runlevel 2 and loads the ACPI functions, the system remains locked. I can change the terminals from "8" to "1" and if I press "CRTL+ALT+SUPR", the system starts the rebooting process.

Other thing, the bluetooth support by default of breezy works, I can detect other "blue" toys. I have to test file transfer and other tests.

2005-09-03T20:50:00.000+08:00

Efrit,
I haven't tried make-kpkg, could you try 'mkinitramfs -o /boot/inintrd.img 2.6.12' to generate the initrd?

Another thing to check is whether you selected the option of 'allow to append DSDT to initrd or initramfs' (not sure exact name, in ACPI section).

I'm compiling the kernel with the make-kpkg comman...

2005-09-03T20:22:00.000+08:00

I'm compiling the kernel with the make-kpkg command with

make-kpkg --append-to-version=-8.12-acertm3000 --revision=2.6.12-8.12 --initrd kernel_image

So with the --initrd option it should generate the image when I install the kernel package, isn't it? I will try to recompile without the --initrd option and after installing the kernel, make the initramfs image.

I'm recompiling with the IrDA support, I will test it with my PDA and I will post if it works.

See you
