Created an attachment (id=26464) [edit]
New ebuild

i suggested sys-apps/acpi4asus

Okay, ebuild commited. Please test and report success/failure. I updated the
src_install section to use portage's utilities for the installation. Please see
the ebuild once you sync. More info on using these portage shortcuts are in
"man 5 ebuild"

Thanks!

acpi4asus' asus_acpid depends on acpid.

Where's the problem:

pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ asus_acpid
connect: Connection refused
asus_acpid: can't open unix domain socket on /var/run/acpid.socket: Illegal seek

Solution:

milk root # emerge acpid
milk root # /etc/init.d/acpid start

and rerun asus_acpid

patch for acpi4asus-0.29.ebuild (2005-01-29 01:43 PST)

added the RDEPEND var and corrected some typos on postinst

I did the following tests on my Asus M6800N laptop with the factory BIOS
version 209

Test #1 Loading the module:

milk root # modprobe asus_acpi
milk root # dmesg |tail -n 2
Asus Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.29
  M6N model detected, supported

Works.

Test #2 Checking events:

milk acpi # cat /proc/acpi/event
(pressing a lot of kotkeys and combinations)
hotkey ATKD 00000050 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000051 00000001
hotkey ATKD 0000005d 00000002
hotkey ATKD 0000006b 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000005c 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000040 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000043 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000045 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000041 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000005d 00000003
hotkey ATKD 0000002e 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000001f 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000034 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000033 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000034 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000033 00000001
hotkey ATKD 00000061 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000032 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000031 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000030 00000000


Only Fn+F1 (sleep combination) failed, other then that it works.

Test #3 Changing LED states:

milk asus # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
milk asus # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
milk asus # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wled
milk asus # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/wled

Works properly.

Test #4 Checking DSDT information:

milk asus # cat /proc/acpi/asus/info
Asus Laptop ACPI Extras Driver 0.29
Model reference    : M6N
SFUN value         : 0x0877
DSDT length        : 24861
DSDT checksum      : 209
DSDT revision      : 1
OEM id             : 1ABSP
OEM table id       : 1ABSP000
OEM revision       : 0x0
ASL comp vendor id : MSFT
ASL comp revision  : 0x100000d

Ok.

Test #5 Changing LCD's brightness:

for i in `seq 0 15`; do sleep 1 ; echo $i > /proc/acpi/asus/brn; done

Works.

Test #6 Turning LCD on/off:

milk asus # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/lcd
milk asus # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/lcd

Works.

Test #7 Switching displays:

Didn't run this test because my laptop's model is not supported.

Test #8 Running asus_acpid:

pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ cd
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ mkdir .asus_acpi
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ cp -r /usr/share/acpi4asus/samples/* .asus_acpi/
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ cat > .asus_acpi/hotk0.sh
echo hotk0
(CTRL+D)
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ cat > .asus_acpi/hotk1.sh
echo hotk1
(CTRL+D)
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ cat > .asus_acpi/hotk2.sh
echo hotk2
(CTRL+D)
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ chmod u+x .asus_acpi/hotk*
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ asus_acpid
pt_lamb@milk pt_lamb $ tail -f .asus_acpi/log
(pressed 2 hotkeys)

Guess everything works fine. I would like to see it stable on x86 if there's no
remaining issue.

thanks, fixed
