* ACPI: autoload modules - Create ACPI alias interfaceThomas Renninger2007-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify modpost (file2alias.c) to add acpi*:XYZ0001: alias in modules.alias like: grep acpi /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc4-default/modules.alias alias acpi*:SNY5001:* sony_laptop alias acpi*:SNY6001:* sony_laptop for e.g. the sony_laptop module. This module matches against all ACPI devices with a HID or CID of SNY5001 or SNY6001 Export an uevent and modalias sysfs file containing the string: [MODALIAS=]acpi:PNP0C0C: additional CIDs are concatenated at the end.

| * backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct deviceRichard Purdie2007-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal. One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see a way around this. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file name is the signature, such as DSDT, and the contents are the binary table image. Some tables, such as the SSDT, can have multiple instances. If just one, the file is SSDT, but if 3 instances, for example, it will be SSDT1, SSDT2, SSDT3 All static tables (besides teh RSDP and RSDT themselves are exported. Dynamic tables, such as SSDT op-regions that are not declared in the RSDT, will be added in a subsequent patch.

In the long term it can't be set, for the same reason _OS(Linux) can't be enabled -- it tends to confuse BIOS that are not properly validated with Linux. Further, the semantics and version information of _OSI(Linux) were never actually defined. The kernel prints out a message if it sees _OSI(Linux) requested, and there is a DMI workaround to invoke "osi=Linux" automatically for existing systems that need it. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7787 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

In this case the userspace don't know which brightness level are supported and can't set a brightness level (echo return with: "write error: Invalid Argument"). This happend e.g. on a ASUS RF1 (correct supported by the asus-laptop module). The video module should not export the backlight interface if query _BLC fail, because you can't set anything from userspace and this make it useless. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8375 Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@suse.de> Acked-by: Luming Yu <luming.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

After loading output.ko and video.ko, you would have /sys/class/video_output and several device acpi_videoNum there. For example, I got acpi_video0, acpi_video1,acpi_video2,and acpi_video3 under /sys/class/video_output on my T40. I can query the status of output device0 by running " cat /sys/class/video_output/acpi_video0 " The return value is defined in ACPI SPEC B.5.5 _DCS(Return the Status of Output Device). Also you can turn off video1 and turn on video0 by " echo 0 > acpi_video1; echo 0x80000000 > acpi_video0". Please reference ACPI SPEC B.5.7 _DSS for the parameter definition. Please note that it may or may NOT works purely depending on if your vendor providing correct ACPI video extension support in bios. the driver output.ko and video.ko just works like a interface to invoke BIOS.

This is the current behavior, and I set this to be the default. if immediate_undock == 0, then when the user presses the undock button, the laptop will send an event to userspace and do nothing. User space can query the "flags" sysfs entry to determine if an undock request has been made by the user (if bit 1 is set). User space will then need to write the undock sysfs entry to complete the undocking process.

Sometimes user-space reads this file frequently, and on some systems _BST takes a long time to evaluate due to a slow EC. Further, when we move to sysfs, the values returned from _BST will be in multiple files, and evaluating _BST for each file read would make matters worse. Here code is added to support caching the results of _BST. A new module parameter "update_time" tells how many seconds the cached _BST should be used before it is re-evaluated. Currently, update_time defaults to 0, and so the existing behaviour of re-evaluating on each read retained.
