Dear All
I have recently acquired an IBM R51, with a 1400x1050 screen and 1 GB
RAM, with the intent of using it for daily work and activities (I not a
coder or anything in that direction, I just like the FreeBSD OS).
I started out with installing 6.0 Release running generic kernel - all
my hardware is supported and the various IBM buttons are working 'out of
the box' - and everything was doing very well until I began looking at
some of the common tasks of a laptop.
Suspend and Resume is somewhat of a problem (I have below listed the
additions I have made to the different .conf files):
----------------------------
sysctl.conf :
hw.acpi.reset_video=0
hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch=1
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3
----------------------------
I have enable Speedstep via:
rc.conf :
est_enable="YES"
estctl_enable="YES"
estctl_speed_ac="adaptive"
estctl_speed_battery=adaptive"
---------------
loader.conf
acpi_video_load="YES"
snd_ich_load="YES"
---------------------
I have added the following line to
rc.resume :
/etc/rc.d/moused restart
---------------------------
When I run the command (as su):
acpiconf -s S3
the system goes into suspend - and when I press the Fn button it again
comes out of suspend (resumes) - at first I had problem with a "dead"
mouse, but that problem was resolved with the above mentioned addition
to rc.resume.
BUT I still have problems with my network connection, which is "dead" -
and I'm not really able to bring it back to life again (without a
reboot). During most of my attempt at revieving the network the system
ends up in a compelte freeze ... ?
On the other hand - If I close the lid the system goes into suspend (S3)
- but when I again opens the lid the mouse + network stays "dead" (and I
can not find a solution to this problem) ?
----------------
I have tryed to add the following to
devd.conf :
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
match "notify" "0";
action "/usr/sbin/acpiconf -s 3";
};
------------------
Which did'nt help either (actually it did absolutely nothing to the
suspend and resume function)?
Apart from this I have some questions regarding the functions around:
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage
which I just don't really can figure out in regard to tuning of power
consumption. cpu speed etc ?
The problem is that it seems that my cpu is running quite fast (the the
fan kicks in quite offen, dispite the R51 basicly doing nothing) ?
I just hope that I have been specificly enough, with the discription and
attempts at solving the problem..
sincerely
Gregers
