I *cannot* be I decided to throw caution to the wind and test the full range: 0x0d - OFF 0x1d - OFF 0x2d - OFF 0x3d - OFF 0x4d - OFF 0x5d - OFF 0x6d - OFF 0x7d - OFF 0x8d - ON (DIM) 0x9d - ON (DIM) 0xad - ON (DIM) 0xbd - ON (DIM) 0xcd - BLINK (BRIGHT, SHARP, LONG PERIOD) 0xdd - BLINK (DIM, SMOOTH, SHORTER PERIOD) 0xed - BLINK (BRIGHT, SHARP, SHORT PERIOD) 0xfd - ON (DIM) There doesn't seem to be an ON (BRIGHT) state. To be clear about cd, dd and ed... 0xCD - the light is bright for about 6 seconds, then blinks off twice, and starts again. 0xDD - the light pulsates from off to full brightness in about 2 seconds, then takes another 2 seconds to go back to off, and starts again 0xED - the light is bright for less than a second, then blinks off, and starts again After each test I reset it to OFF using 0d. I know that 1d is also an OFF, but I didn't test if 2-7 would reset it to OFF, I just know that after 0d they do nothing. (fwiw it would be great if DD was exposed legitimately somehow, the pulsation is not harsh and annoying like CD and ED, so it would make for a great status indicator) Cheers, -- Chris Jones cmsj@xxxxxxxxxx www.tenshu.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ ibm-acpi-devel mailing list ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ibm-acpi-devel
