Hi there!
First i hope my other messages have realy disappereard. I send them
yesterday from a windows machine and as described in the FAQ it seemed
to be blocked because of the charset. If by any chance that message
arrives please excuse it and ignore it!
My Problem exists on a Sony Vaio Laptop with the modelcode SZ61MN/B. I
am currently running Archlinux with a 2.6.25.11-1 kernel. Most things on
the notebook seem to be working, even the lidswitch is recognized.
Problems are the non-working power button,
what do you mean by non-working power button?
Pressing the power button doesn't power off the laptop, right?
what if you press it for four seconds?
please run "grep . /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/*" both before and
after pressing the power button and attach the result.
Yes, youre right, pressing the button has no effect. Pressing 4 seconds
powers off the laptop. Is that done via acpi too? Thought that was a
hardwarething.
Uploaded both outputs here:
http://www.twisted-artwork.de/vault/linux/powerbutton.txt
thats a real problem, just
annoying, and what realy is a pain, the backlight brigthness is not
adjustable, so i always get a nice suntan from the screen. That realy
sucks at night...
please attach the acpidump output with the latest pmtools at
http://www.lesswatts.org/patches/linux_acpi/
As i am not sure if its wise to paste it here, i just uploaded it to my
webspace, its quite a long file.
(And as i remember attachments on emails are not allowed on mailing lists?)
The URL is http://www.twisted-artwork.de/vault/linux/acpidump.txt
I tried for about a week now to find a solution and i worked my way
through all of the possible solutions called sony-laptop, sonypi,
sony-acpi but none of them worked for me.
what did you get?
empty /sys/class/backlight/ entry with any of these drivers loaded?
or the backlight I/F exists but they don't work for you?
The backlight files exist but they dont change anything. When i use the
sonypi driver
i can change some of the stuff with the program spicctrl. Powering of
the internal devices
works, adjusting fanspeed works, adjusting backlight just has no effects.
cc Mattia, who is the maintainer of sony-laptop driver. :)
Did that too a few days ago, but got no answer, maybe i got the wrong
adress.
Thanks for your help, i hope it doesnt take too long to solve this,
cause in the meantime i am forced to use Windows when i am on the road,
caus it has nearly twice the runtime on battery... :)
regards
sebastian
