 Posted: Thu Dec 19, 2002 3:05 pm Post subject: Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 apm / acpi troubles |
 |
|
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop. I am having problems with the power management. If compile in support for apm, then I am able to get information about battery life etc, but standby immediately wakes up, and suspend works, but wont wake up. If I compile acpi into the kernel, then I get a message on boot saying that my bios is blacklisted. If I compile them both into the kernel, then neither works. Anyone have any thoughts as to workarounds/fixes?
Thanks in advance |

I installed the 2.4.20-acpi kernel, and it is recognizing that I now have acpi support. /proc/acpi/sleep says I have .. S5 is poweroff, and S1 is sleep. So acpi is saying that I my laptop is not capable of going to sleep. I have tried | Code: | | echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep |
through | Code: | | echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep |
. 5 powers it off instantly. Everything else seems to be working (battery monitor etc, but this worked with apm). So, does anyone have any ideas about getting sleep to work? it is worthless to have a laptop that wont put itself to sleep.[/code] |

You can get round the blacklist but you have to edit one of the ACPI source files. I'll find it tonight (went through purgatory myself with this) and post.

| So, I haven't messed with this issue in a bit. however I am still having problems. For anyone who helps me resolve this issue I will buy a six pack of their favorite beverage. I even have played with the 2.5 kernel which seems to recognice the acpi stuff okay, but my geforce2go driver doesn't work with the 2.5 kernel... |

| Well, appears that I was able to fix my power management issue. My laptop has a geforce2go so I was using the nvidia-kernel driver. When this driver's loaded then it veto's the apm --suspend action. So it would work okay if it was unloaded. I upgraded to the newest version of Xfree86 that I could (4.2.99-r2) which supports the geforce2go with the nv driver. apm suspend now works from inside X fine. |
