ACPI with IBM ThinkPad T23
Hello,
has anyone with an IBM ThinkPad T23 a Debian Linux setup with working
ACPI?
Last time I looked at the list somewhere in the Wiki at
http://acpi.sourceforge.net the IBM ThinkPad T23 is listed as working.
Well I tried with standard Debian 2.6.8, 2.6.7, 2.6.6 kernels and has no
full success. Kernel 2.6.9 does work reliable on my notebook. It halts on
some ACPI message (like some earlier versions of Kernel 2.6.8, see bug
#282905)
At least it went to standby mode, but after awakening ALSA sound did not
work anymore and its not possible to switch from X11 to tty console
anymore. Well I can switch but the X11 display will still remain on the
screen.
Today I tried it with the IBM ACPI stuff at:
http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/
For simplicity I used the Debian package at:
http://debian.isg.ee.ethz.ch/public/
(This is not the most recent version of IBM ACPI)
I compiled the ibm-acpi module and it loads fine.
Now when I tell the laptop to go to standbye mode it goes to sleep but
when awakening it shows a lot of ACPI messages and then halts completey
(had no time to write these down and cut and paste obviously didn't work
at that time anymore).
I am not sure whether ibm-acpi makes that difference in behaviour, or
wheter its just a newer version of the debian kernel 2.6.8 package.
Anyone with an IBM ThinkPad who got farer than me (had time to compile an
own kernel or whatever)?
Regards,
