No battery optimization on T61

[guest]

T61 6465-CTO, 3GB RAM, Intel GMA X3100 GM 965 (Panorama 20070920), INTELPRO/WL3945ABG (GENMAC V2.02), eCS 2.0 RC4, ACPI 2.09/APM 1.24 (20080423).

SMP works on dual core, Poweroff and Suspend work. Suspend only works with the OS/2 "Suspend" menu item (not Fn+F4 or closing the lid). But the system does not switch to battery optimization on battery. So battery power only lasts 1.5 hours, while under SUSE SLED 10 battery lasts 3 hours.

1. Try remove /SAP:0x20 from acpi.psd

2. Fn+Fxx can work only with external program, CRC for example

3. Check, AcpiD.cfg must be in %etc% directory, \mptn\etc usial. This need for work LID

4. Battery optimization you must choice another method. Use SetGetState?, SetGetThrtl?, CRC. Also change C2 to C3 in AcpiD.cfg, set ExtraHLT=Yes and replace kernel to 104b from acpi package.

Then give me AcpiDaemon? log after closing/open LID

Already removed that before.

2. Fn+Fxx can work only with external program, CRC for example

No idea what CRC is. I thought the Fn keys were hardware locked.

3. Check, AcpiD.cfg must be in %etc% directory, \mptn\etc usial. This need for work LID

Yes its in mptn/etc

4. Battery optimization you must choice another method. Use SetGetState??, SetGetThrtl??, CRC. Also change C2 to C3 in AcpiD.cfg, set ExtraHLT=Yes and replace kernel to 104b from acpi package.

The 104b kernel is where? On BetaZone? I can just find smp20050811.zip in the ACPI section which bldlevel says its 14.104a

SetGetThrtl? does work. But SetGetState? says:

Searching processors ================================== Processor [CPU0] Not supported or not CPU present ================================== ================================== Processor [CPU1] Not supported or not CPU present ==================================

SpeedStep? is enabled so I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Or does it only work on battery? No doesn't work on battery either.

Then give me AcpiDaemon?? log after closing/open LID

Will do this when I can locate the 104b kernel

e-co:

The kernel with ExtraHLT prolongs battery 2 hours -> 3 hours here.

Download Kernel with ExtraHLT -- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=down (Kernel for ACPI)

* ExtraKernelHLT = Yes

* IdleState? = C2 or try C3

Thanks that has helped a lot. Now on battery I get 2.5 hours with this 104b kernel. Will we ever see automatic battery optimization with ACPI/APM.ADD?

Pasha repeats:

* there were 2 states in BIOS: full and battery optimized. IBM APM is using this modes. ACPI doesn't have such modes.

OK, this helped you partially. Please inform us about incompatibility of patched kernel and applciations.
