| |
| − | Hello Thinker,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | would it be possible to provide the SMAPI support as kernel patch as well? Something along the lines of: (0.12 against 2.6.15-rc5)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''(deleted, see below for how to create a patch file)''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Deleted the tp_smapi.c file at the end, out of obvious reasons, and I'm not sure about the placement in the ACPI section, OTOH there it would be found easily next to ibm_acpi.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Providing a patch would help when recompiling the kernel often, I hate recompiling external modules every time (even got me a kernel-upgrade script to do most of it automatically). But of course it's up to you. :)

| |
| − | ----
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'll be glad to add this, but I don't want to go through additional manual steps in the release process (there are already quite a few). Can you add a "make patch" functionality to the Makefile, or something of the sort, to automatically generate a full patch (including tp_smapi.c) against current kernel sources?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, this shouldn't be under drivers/acpi, since it doesn't use ACPI at all (that's why I didn't make it a patch to ibm_acpi). I think the right place is drivers/firmware, like the dell_rbu driver for Dell laptops.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | BTW, the convention for kernel patches is to start them once level higher:
| |
| − | diff -Nurp kernel-2.6.14-vanilla kernel-2.6.14-patched

| − |
| |
| − | Of course it's from the wrong level, as usual I was just lazy/inattentive. And at one point I'll remember who likes what patch format, promise. ;)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A patch target as in "create a new file holding a correct diff to current kernel source" would be rather difficult, since line numbers might change etc., but applying the patch should be straighforward with a bit of sed. Of course I could just do that, create a patch with the diff command and then apply the new patch file in reverse. ;)

| |
| − | Amazing! I've loaded this module in my T43 which is running SuSE 10 with the kernel of 2.6.13-15. I have three points to share:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. The battery control part seems to work but has a minor problem. I set the stop_charge_threshold to 70, but the battery stops charging at 55%. Don't know why and how to fix it. :P
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. I don't have the cd speed control function. Here is what I have under /sys/devices/platform/smapi/:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ./ ../ ac_connected BAT0/ BAT1/ bus@ driver@ power/
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. SuSE 10 doesn't have the necessary C files under .../drivers/hwmon/, I copied them from a 2.6.14.5 kernel source. Maybe it causes the two problems above. :(
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When I have time, I'll install the new kernel to see if the problems are gone and report the result.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. See the note about PROVIDE_CD_SPEED.
| |

| |
| − | 3. That's should be needed only for patching the HDAPS driver in order to make it compatible with tp_smapi. If your kernel (which version is it?) doens't inlude the HDAPS driver anyway, you don't need to patch....

| − | By the way, I just got this T43 whose model number is 266896U. I feel that the noise of the fan is much louder than my previous T21. I think it is so since it has a CPU with bigger power but am wondering if other T43 has the same big noise?

| |
| − | About the T43 fan noise: yes, this is a very common (and annoying) problem. See [[Problem_with_fan_noise]] and our [[ACPI fan control script]], and send Lenovo a complaint in hope they'll fix this at the firmware level.

| |
| − | Wyrfel, that was some heavy editing you did... I agree with most changes (including the saner color choice). I did like those HINT floats, though - they keep the hints from interrupting the flow of text too much, and this particular text needs any help it can get.

| − | Hei Thinker,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'll look into it again. I felt that the floating HINTs were tearing the text apart too much. Maybe we could fix it by placing the clear marks somewhere else.

| − | == Dual battery operation with tp_smapi ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It looks like it is working quite fine with tp_smapi-0.13 and 2.6.15 (it may also work with other versions, but those are the ones I have running right now).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The juicy details:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|cd /sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|cat ac_connected}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{cmdresult|0}}
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|cat BAT{0,1}/state}}
| |
| − | {{cmdresult|discharging}}
| |
| − | {{cmdresult|idle}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|echo 1 > BAT1/force_discharge1}}
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|cat BAT{0,1}/state}}
| |
| − | {{cmdresult|idle}}
| |
| − | {{cmdresult|discharging}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Checking capacity values shows that the corrent battery is being depleted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | And remember, before you yank the CD/DVD drive out, issue:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{cmdroot|cat eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay}}

| |
| − | Great! Which ThinkPad model is it? Could you also {{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT{0,1}/force_discharge2}} and report the dmesg output (after {{cmdroot|make load}} or {{cmdroot|1=modprobe tp_smapi debug=1}})?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | About the eject command, I think it should be possible to do that automatically when the Ultrabay handle is ejected, via <tt>acpid</tt>.

| − | It's a T43 (2669). cat'ing force_discharge2 gives me an I/O error and I see
| |
| − |
| |
| − | tp_smapi: cannot get force_discharge2 of battery 0: bx=2103
| |
| − |
| |
| − | tp_smapi: cannot get force_discharge2 of battery 1: bx=2103
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I find these errors irrelevant from the user's point of view, though.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Indeed, it should be possible to automatise the "eject" command. I should also be noted that once a force_discharge1 is set, it will NOT unset automatically, event when the AC is plugged back in. An obvious fix is to fiddle with the appropriate ACPI event to force_discharge1 back to 0 for all batteries once the AC is attached.

| |
| − | Thanks, this eliminates the last situation I imagined <tt>force_discharge2</tt> might work. The next tp_smapi version will remove <tt>force_discharge2</tt> and rename <tt>force_discharge1</tt> to <tt>force_discharge</tt>.

| − | If you write those ACPI scripts, it would be great if you put them on the Wiki.

| |
| − | Well, I still do not preclude the fact that <tt>force_discharge2</tt> may be useful for something else on other models.

| − | The ACPI scripts (as well as an installation guide) is underway. It may take a while, though.

| − | Hei Thinker,

| |
| − | i just renamed the new page. Will adjust your links later on. Keeping the redirect page until that's done. Please set any new links you create to the new page (the pages of the individual UltraBay batteries should contain a pointer).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On a sidenote: I would like to split the SMAPI support under Linux page into a tp_smapi driver page, just listing the features, and a "How to use tp_smapi" page. I would also split the thinkpad/tpctl page off that again. Any objections?
