5.1-CURRENT / A31p / ACPI

[Dylan Cooper]

Hello all,

  I've been following the mobile list for a while, now.  I thought I would
come out of lurk-mode and give some preliminary details about my Thinkpad
A31p and my experiences with FreeBSD.

First, a few notes:  I've been a Linux user for Quite A While Now(tm). I'm
most experienced with Debian and Gentoo (albeit less so), so while some of
the FreeBSD environment is pretty new, others are relatively familiar
(ports).  The Unix Rosetta Stone (http://bhami.com/rosetta.html) has been
pretty helpful with the transition.  Overall, the *BSD method of upgrading
a system makes more sense, and I think the wide variation between Linux
distros and their configuration methods is what frustrated me the most. I
haven't given up Debian for server use (familiarity), but I want to use
FreeBSD for my personal systems.

Quick guru question:  Does FreeBSD have a /dev/nvram that can be polled as
in Linux?  I've looked around quite a bit before I asked what I feared to
be an RTFM question, but haven't found an answer. There is an app called
Thinkpad Buttons (tpb) that catches the hardware buttons along the
left-hand side of the keyboard and provides functionality.  The author of
the program has documented the values well, and I tested it while running
Debian on my A31p -they all worked.

See: http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/

Anyway, on to the A31p.

Summary:

Installed 5.1-RELEASE (netinstall) and had the usual ACPI problems that
have been posted on the list.  I did the suggested APM config changes, and
everything has been working ok.  Because my laptop hasn't had to do real
work yet (I toyed with a Debian install between the FreeBSD installs), I
throught I would fool around with -CURRENT because I saw something about
ACPI being somewhat fixed on another FreeBSD list.  I installed from the
latest snapshot from snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org (05 Sept 2003) and did an
AnonCVS pull last night (08 Sept 2003).  I tweaked with the kernel config
(a learning experience) and made both world and kernel.  After booting up
with ACPI enabled, it appears that there aren't any ACPI errors on my
dmesg.  Some ACPI events pop up an AE_NOT_FOUND error, but everything
seems to be booting up cleanly.  I'm currently tinkering around with X /
Enlightenment 16.5.  I haven't tested the functionality of all the
peripherals, yet.  I'll get to test the wireless card tomorrow at the
university.


Hardware:
IBM Thinkpad A31p (2653-R9U)
BIOS Embedded Controller: 1NHT04WW (20 Dec 2002)
BIOS ver: 1NET11WW (04 Aug 2003)

Various keys/events:
-------------------
Lid switch      acpi0: AcpiGetSleepTypeData failed - AE_NOT_FOUND
It blanks the screen, but is trying to sleep and can't, I'm guessing.

Power Button    momentary press = nothing
Fn-F3 (lcd off) Not working, no kernel message
Fn-F4(sleep)    acpi0: AcpiGetSleepTypeData failed - AE_NOT_FOUND
Fn-F12(hyb)     Not tried - Hybernation file not installed

All other hardware Fn keys work:
Keyboard light
LCD bright/dim

No problems switching between X and vtty
When the screen blanks under X, it revives with no problems

kernel config
------------
I can post a follow-up to keep this message from being too long.  I'm
certain that there are some intricacies I've missed due to n00b-isms.
I compiled both apm and acpi in the kernel, even though it states that
compiling ACPI in the kernel is depreciated.  I supposed that doing so
would allow me to flip back and forth via the hints files.  A more
experienced person could enlighten me, perhaps?
