I have FreeBSD 6.0 running on it and just wanted to share my experiences with it in case anyone else is interested in this system. This particular laptop isn't that new: it was introduced earlier in the year, but I procrastinated on buying one for a while hoping that the price would come down, and to do some research on it. You can see pictures and basic specs for it here: http://www.averatec.com/notebooks/1000series.htm Note that there's a 1050 and a 1020 model. The main difference is that the 1050 has a 1.1Ghz Pentium M processor while the 1020 has a 1.0Ghz Celeron. I'm not entirely clear on what the real difference is between them in terms of performance, but I'm satisfied with the Celeron for now. The good news is that FreeBSD 6.0 works pretty much out of the box on this laptop. The ACPI AML seems to have some bugs in it in a few fringe areas, but the main pieces work correctly (i.e there's no interrupt routing problems). Key points: Chipset: Intel ICH4 USB: dual USB 2.0 ports, works out of the box with ehci driver. Sound: AC97, works out of the box with the snd_ich driver. Ethernet: RealTek 8139, works out of the box with the rl(4) driver (I think the 1050 model has Intel fxp(4) ethernet). Wireless: The 1020's wireless device is a RaLink RT2500. (I think the 1050 has an Intel 2200BG). This works out of the box with the ral(4) driver and is also supported by the NDISulator. I used it with the ral(4) driver for a while without any problems, but the wireless network at work uses WPA2 and AES, and for that I had to use the NDISulator. This worked ok initially, until I tried wpa_supplicant. I discovered a bug in ndis_rxeof_eth() in if_ndis.c that caused a hard kernel lockup due to the driver trying to acquire a serialization spinlock twice in the same thread. Fortunately, once I fixed this, everything worked as expected. I used the wireless network at work all day on Friday without any problems. If you elect to use the NDISulator, remember the following: - Download the latest RT2500 Windows driver from www.ralinktech.com. - Grab the latest versions of the files in src/sys/compat/ndis and src/sys/dev/if_ndis form the 6.0-STABLE branch or from -current. This will get you the fix for the bug I mentioned earlier. - If you want to use WPA2, you need to recompile wpa_supplicant with EAPOL support, as follows: # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/wpa/wpa_supplicant # make ENABLE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_EAPOL="YES" # make install I discovered I needed wpa_supplicant built this way in order for authentication to work right. The radio on/off button seems to work ok too. It doesn't appear to be dependent on any special software tricks. Mouse: Intel Intellimouse touchpad. Works out of the box with the psm(4) driver, however it only has two buttons. If you use moused(8), edit /etc/rc.conf and add moused_flags="3" to tell it to emulate the 3rd button by pressing both buttons at once. If you don't use moused, add Emulate3Buttons to your xorg.conf file. (I'm still getting used to the damn touchpad. My old laptop had a nipple mouse. And it had 3 buttons.) Graphics: Intel 855GM. Works out of the box with Xorg 6.8.2. FreeBSD's agp(8) driver recognizes the chipset, but there's no DRI support. For now this doesn't really make much difference to me. One caveat here: the display supports 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x768 modes, however Xorg only recognizes 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 by default and will select 1024x768 when you do X -configure. The display ends up with a really strange aspect ratio in this mode, however, so you really want 1280x768. You can convince Xorg to use this mode if you edit your xorg.conf file a little: - In the "Monitor" subsection, add the following lines: HorizSync 31.5-48.5 VertRefresh 40-70 ModeLine "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 - For each "Display" subsection, add the following line: Modes "1280x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" With these changes, the X server defaults to 1280x768. I also set the DefaultDepth to 24 bits. The display is very pretty. Pccard slot: just works. Tried a couple of my cardbus wireless cards. DVD/CD drive: just works. Stuff that doesn't work: Modem: it's a softmodem. No joy there. I don't mind though since I happen to have a standard PCMCIA modem card. Suspend mode: trying to suspend with zzz just makes the laptop freeze up and it never recovers until I power cycle it. I sort of expected this (suspend didn't work on my previous laptop either) and I'm not really that broken up about it. Special volume control keys: these seem to have no effect. The screen brightness controls do work though. On the whole, I'm pretty happy with the laptop. All the important stuff works without any serious issues. There's one gotcha that potential buyers should be aware of however, which isn't a problem with the laptop per-se, but which may be an issue for some. The laptop does not come with a recovery CD or DVD. Instead, it has a Phoenix Recovery partition at the end of the disk, which can be used to overwrite the installed Windows XP image with a fresh copy. Unfortunately, the version of the software included on the laptop does not include support for burning your own recovery CD or DVD. And Averatec's "policy" is that they won't give you one if the laptop comes with a recovery partition. I contacted someone at Averatec about this on Friday but haven't heard back from them yet. In the meantime, if you want to back up the recovery software, be aware of the following: - The recovery partition occupies the last 3GB of the disk, and has a partition type of 73. You can probably make an image copy of it with dd(1), but make sure you have room for it. - You normally access the recovery software by pressing the F4 key while the laptop boots. This keypress is _not_ interpreted by the BIOS. Instead, it's interpreted by the boot block on the hard disk. If you install the FreeBSD boot loader, it will trash this boot block, so try to save it as well. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= you're just BEGGING to face the moose ============================================================================= From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 18 08:42:47 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6223616A41F for ; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 08:42:47 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from marco.calviani@gmail.com) Received: from wproxy.gmail.com (wproxy.gmail.com [64.233.184.204]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B447E43D5F for ; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 08:42:46 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from marco.calviani@gmail.com) Received: by wproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id i31so925183wra for ; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 00:42:46 -0800 (PST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:to:subject:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; b=tWxBoPoRrnHqllMNjj6SZ73PdQA7/pQo3PShvP4wyZwl9bdj59Xblbr1eHWaNFUJ2qBBrWy0UD5Q5MVjsUUjiaBOx6dTrFo5GgaHgyyXJeibY6Tu+moFcQ7bsqOBq8kZKmp89HrFxT+RW/sSZX3Qx9mkMd/fUIWjhr+1FoT1Ues= Received: by 10.65.157.6 with SMTP id j6mr1618071qbo; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 00:42:45 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.65.224.1 with HTTP; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 00:42:45 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2005 09:42:45 +0100 From: Marco Calviani To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <200511280218.31226.openbsd.org@fluet.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline References: <20051117120042.139AE16A43D@hub.freebsd.org> <200511280218.31226.openbsd.org@fluet.com> Subject: Re: Installation of Freebsd on external (USB) hard drive (using GRUB) X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2005 08:42:47 -0000 Hi Kevin, 2005/11/28, openbsd.org@fluet.com : > I'm a little late replying, but I thought I would reply if only for archi= val > searches on this subject. > > I have an Acer C300 TabletPC and the BIOS does not support booting from U= SB. > > This doesn't matter, however, since you can install a boot loader onto th= e > LAPTOP'S hard drive that will boot the USB partitions for you. > > I don't recall if the FreeBSD boot loader does this, but GRUB > (/usr/ports/sysutils/grub) definitely does. > > Here is my grub /boot/grub/menu.lst: > > -------------------------------------------------- > > title WindowsXP > rootnoverify (hd0,0) > chainloader +1 > makeactive > savedefault > > title FreeBSD RELENG-5 > root (hd0,1,a) > kernel /boot/loader > savedefault > > title FreeBSD RELENG-6 > root (hd0,2,a) > kernel /boot/loader > savedefault > > title FreeBSD Portable Disk > root (hd1,1,a) > kernel /boot/loader > savedefault > > title OpenBSD Portable Disk > root (hd1,2) > chainloader +1 > makeactive > savedefault > > -------------------------------------------------- > > As you can see, on the laptop's hard drive (hd0), I have WindowsXP and tw= o > FreeBSD installations.

Is there a problem farther up? try setting hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0 I needed to set this to get my portege to boot with 5.x if i remember rightly.

However, my Thinkpad (a T43p) has an awfully noisy fan, that, once the notebook reaches its standard working temperature (around 45 deg C), turns on and never stops again. The generally accepted solution his to manually lower the fan speed and live with the higher temperatures, which will still be in an acceptable range even with slow running fans. The discussion and a utility for Windows can be found here [1], and a linux tool is described here [2]. Now my question. Since acpi_ibm.ko can already read temperature sensors and fan speed, would it be feasable to teach it to control fan speed as well? Is anyone working on it already? Or can someone outline the steps that have to be taken so I can take a look and see if I can do it myself? thanks, t.

The behavior I observed originally is this: - Run zzz (or acpiconf -s 3) - Laptop display remains on, but seems frozen - Pressing the enter key seems to make the fan suddenly come to life and spin faster, but laptop does not unfreeze - Pressing additional keys makes the fan turn on and off, but the laptop still doesn't unfreeze Last night when I tried it, the behavior was similar, except now the screen would also turn off when tried to enter suspend mode, and it would come back on when I pressed the enter key, but it would still be frozen. > Also, I have cobbled together set of thermal states for 3150H. I don't > know how similar 1020 AML is, but if you are interested, send me a note > and I will mail you "before" and "after" sources. I'd be interested to see this, yes. I tried to tweak the AML for the 1020 a little and got it to stop complaining about some of the methods being buggy, e.g.: ACPI-0225: *** Error: Store into Alias - should never happen ACPI-1304: *** Error: Method execution failed [\\_TZ_.RTMP] (Node 0xc19a2300), AE_AML_INTERNAL ACPI-1304: *** Error: Method execution failed [\\_TZ_.THRM._TMP] (Node 0xc19a21e0), AE_AML_INTERNAL But I'm not sure what I did was correct. I get this message when the laptop first boots up (presumeably when it's launching the acpi_thermal thread), and I see similar messages when I press the 'toggle display on/off' and 'toggle between LCD/CRT display' function keys. I did manage to make the 'display on/off' key work, but not the other. If you want to look at it, I put a copy of the DSDT dump and AML in http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/averatec I really wonder how they make this stuff work in Windows. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= you're just BEGGING to face the moose ============================================================================= From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 23 08:06:03 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 60E3416A41F for ; Fri, 23 Dec 2005 08:06:03 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kjelderg@gmail.com) Received: from zproxy.gmail.com (zproxy.gmail.com [64.233.162.192]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CBB3B43D5C for ; Fri, 23 Dec 2005 08:06:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kjelderg@gmail.com) Received: by zproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id 9so592140nzo for ; Fri, 23 Dec 2005 00:06:02 -0800 (PST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:from:to:subject:date:user-agent:references:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:message-id; b=ECL6rEGczcsomg9LGdnOG6lb8ifwNi9hNDh5AaKZA0uh8yitGylOJCJjPPk+X6YbdjLMZyCT8mgMRfbiXU+P1UmKVdZlgOGsSE+Io6vHLKa1eGWeonQ0FUGBPPHcVAkZH3aRFmSADv2xB9Ityk1MWPz4F1NEJdlOEZiG0AOEUvo= Received: by 10.37.18.18 with SMTP id v18mr12374nzi; Fri, 23 Dec 2005 00:06:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from ?192.168.0.86?

I am pretty sure that suspend-to-disk (S4BIOS) is supported, however, in or= der=20 to use S4BIOS, the BIOS needs to have a place to suspend to. This is usual= ly=20 achieved with a little utility ( http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tphdisk ) th= at=20 writes a FAT32 Partition or similar. If you have that partition,=20 suspend-to-disk should work just fine.
