Hi Folks Im a smurf reader of this list and i ve been trying ACPI now for more than 5 months . The device i want to have ACPI running is the worlds first Tablet PC called "Pacebook" . As i am pretty much the only linux enthusiastic at our company , im "porting " linux to that Tablet . Until now ACPI was quite good working : I can read the battery state , see if im plugged or not , get the temperatur of the TRANSMETA (!) and all that minor stuff , BUT i had no chance to use S3 S4 ---until yesterday when i tried the mentioned patches and now can S4 very good !! --YES it is working ! __ icantbelievethat _ So guys : I congratulate you ! Very very very good work ! Things TODO now : try to get S3 also working ( to have this , ive to implement a function to turn off the backlight ) i ve the spec`s and I/O Port to do that ,but im still expierencing problems at starting to write this driver , since a device called pic2 is loaded at the needed I/O Port ( 0xB1-0xB2) ... When i ve finished that driver ive to find a way , where the ACPI Subsystem can call that backlight_off function. What is the supposed procedure to implement such "thirdparty" functions into ACPI ? will there be a script to be called ( like at APM , where we had apmd_proxy to shutdown critical things before suspend ) ? Anyhow folks ... im very proud of that community and keep up doing that great work !
