Hi all,
I'm trying to get my battery life to work, as well as other power
management stuff like auto-shutdown/suspend, etc. I've been searching
for a while, and read through
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html.
I looked for a BIOS update, and there wasn't one on the Asus website for
my notebook.
I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (installed via PCBSD). Output of uname -a :
FreeBSD PCBSD.localhost 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Mon May 22
08:46:45 PDT 2006 boot at PCBSD.localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
i386
Here's the output from acpconf -i0:
Design capacity: 0 mWh
Last full capacity: 0 mWh
Technology: primary (non-rechargeable)
Design voltage: 0 mV
Capacity (warn): 0 mWh
Capacity (low): 0 mWh
Low/warn granularity: 0 mWh
Warn/full granularity: 0 mWh
Model number:
Serial number:
Type:
OEM info:
State: not present
Voltage: 12576 mV
I've uploaded the file from acpidump, dmesg.boot and the output from
compiling iasl to : http://www.jukeware.com/acer_aspire_3620.tar
I get these messages all the time (included in the dmesg.boot also):
ACPI-0501: *** Error: Handler for [EmbeddedControl] returned
AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE
ACPI-1304: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BAT0._STA] (Node 0xc477c900), AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE
ACPI-0239: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BAT0._STA] (Node 0xc477c900), AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE
Anyway, it would be great if there was a work-around patch that I could
apply to my asl file that could get the battery and power management
stuff working, similar to
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-acpi/2005-November/002193.html.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help solve this.
Thank very much for your help,
Geoff
