New version (0.36) is out (as of 2008-01-27) As compared to 0.33 (latest in portage), the new version includes among other things fixes for T61/X60/X61 laptops and additional functionality in form of cell group voltages. Simply renaming 0.33-ebuild to 0.36 seems to do the trick. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 144506 [details] udev rule for reducing total interrupts on tickless kernels Ping. Some important code changes are: - hdaps: Extends the "invert" parameter to cover all possible axis orientations. - Ported to kernel 2.6.24. - A new version of the hdapsd userspace daemon, which uses the input device interface (created via udev) instead of polling sysfs
this is also the only version I got to work on R61 btw, the ebuild for 0.33 works fine with this version, so there's not much work to do (In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=144506) [edit] > udev rule for reducing > total interrupts on tickless kernels > > Ping. > Some important code changes are: > - hdaps: Extends the "invert" parameter to cover all possible axis > orientations. > - Ported to kernel 2.6.24. > - A new version of the hdapsd userspace daemon, which uses the input device > interface (created via udev) instead of polling sysfs >
How exactly does the udev rule reduce the total number of ticks?
(In reply to comment #3) > How exactly does the udev rule reduce the total number of ticks? It does not by itself. tp-smapi provides an additional device for raw accelerometer data. That device can be matched by an udev ruled as specified by Anton Bolshakov (and the tp-smapi docs). Newer versions of hdapsd (the daemon that parks the heads) expect this device to exist in order to run. This new hdapsd can in fact read the accelerometer data from the udev input device created by the rule. The combination "new hdapsd" + "2nd input device [from the rule above]" result in fewer interrupts (according to the docs from [50,100] to exactly 50).
tp-smapi-0.37 has been released. From the release notes: - Fix compilation on kernel 2.6.25 - hdaps whitelist: changed default orientation of ThinkPad R60, R61, X40, X41. - tp_smapi: Added 3 new read-only battery attributes /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT?/remaining_running_time_now (time remaining according to instantenous power instead of average) /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT?/charging_max_current (maximum current allowed during charging) /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT?/charging_max_voltage (maximum voltage allowed during charging) - tp_smapi and README: improved documentation of battery info attributes. Simply renaming the ebuild does the trick.
Done!
(In reply to comment #6) > Done! > Thanks, but how about the udev rules file? It is an official part of the package now (see manual for more details) and should be installed if "hdaps" flag is enabled. Please submit it too. Igor, please re-open the bug.
