Guest krefson Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I wonder how far people have got with getting all of the features of the Toshiba Tecra series centrino laptops working? I have made some progress on my Tecra M1, but still have two outstanding issues. I am running Mandrake 10.1 (Official) on the Tecra M1, but using kernel 2.6.9 compiled from source with the "ck3" patchset and the 0.62 version of the centrino wireless driver. With this combination suspend-to-disk and resume works well using the "pmsuspend2" script. Using the stock 2.6.8.1-12 kernel the ipw2100 driver would not suspend which hung and defeated the suspend process. (Configuring it off before the pmsuspend2 command allowed it to work.) With cpufreqd, CPU frquency scaling, acpi battery monitor and other features also work. What still does not work are a. the monitor brightness control. "cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd" gives "brightness: 4", which remains unchanged after echo "brightness:5" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd". Has anyone else managed to get this to work? b. suspend-to-memory: Actually, with kernel 2.6.9 suspend-to-memory (on "echo mem > /sys/power/state") DOES work, and the restore apparently works too on exercising the lid switch or "t" button. However the acpid deamon immediately receives an event button/power PWROFF and the machine immediately goes to init 0 and shuts off! Defeating the "poweroff" acpi event action merely results in the machine powering off without an orderly shutdown. c. Probably a stupid KDE question, but the "Suspend" entries on the klaptop system tray app invoke suspend-to-memory (which doesn't work) and not hibernate with pmsuspend2. Can this be configured so suspend-to-disk works, by invoking pmsuspend2? Keith Refson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
