2.6.0test3 problems on Acer TravelMate 260 (ALSA,ACPIvsSynaptics,yenta)

Hi!

I've been evaluating kernel 2.6.0test3 on my Acer TravelMate 260 Laptop, it is a PIII Movile at 1GHz with intel chipset (i82801+i830M) 256 Megs of RAM.

There are some weird old problems, like the yenta problem, the problem with the cardbus interface is that you have to insert the card twice so that it notices the card is in, everything else seems ok, on 2.4 there is the same problem, so I'm using the pcmcia-cs i82365 driver which is working perfectly. This is what the 2.6 yenta driver says on startup:

Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:01:09.0 [1025:1024] Yenta IRQ list 02b8, PCI irq10
Socket status: 30000007

This is what lspci tells about the cardbus interface:

The ALSA problem is new, ALSA for 2.4 (0.9.4) is working perfectly, but the 2.6.0 driver doesn't allow me to hear the beeper sound, the pcm sounds seem ok, but no matter what I do with the mixer, ALSA doesn't seem to drive the beeper sound to the speakers. The card driver is the snd_intel8x0 with its associated snd_ac97_codec, alsamixer says this about it:
Card: Intel 82801CA-ICH3
Chip: Cirrus Logic CS4299 rev 4
And this is what lspci says:

Also new is the problem that ACPI is causing on the Synaptics touchpad, the touchpad driver is loosing sync all the time, and I have discovered that only disabling ACPI this gets solved, there was no problem with ACPI as of 2.4, but there was also no kernel Synaptics driver, however normal driver with the XFree Driver didn't have this problems. Without ACPI the touchpad driver works perfectly. I don't know what data can I provide to help tracking this down :-(

I don't have any problem to test patches or try to provide more info on any of this things.

Please supply the following information:

- does 2.6.0-test3 detect the card at boot ?
- if not, what are the complete kernel messages ?

- does 2.6.0-test3 detect it at every insertion after the first "insert remove insert" cycle, or does it always need an even number of insertions for it to be recognised?

- does 2.4 and 2.6-test3 yenta find the same IRQs ?

- which version of pcmcia-cs are you using with 2.4 ?

- which IRQ(s) does 2.4 i82365 use ?

Hey, what a quick reply, here goes the info you asked for, if you need any more just ask for it.

Yes and no, I mean, it detects a card, but not the card it has in, it tries to load memory_cs when I have a wireless card in, the card should load hostap_cs, in fact if after booting I remove it and insert it twice, it recognices the card well and tries to load hostap_cs.

Here are the messages it outputs:

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: IRQ 10 for device 0000:01:09.0 doesn't match PIRQ mask - try pci=usepirqmask
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:01:09.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:1d.1

Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:01:09.0 [1025:1024] Yenta IRQ list 02b8, PCI irq10
Socket status: 30000811
cs: memory probe 0x0c0000-0x0fffff: excluding 0xc0000-0xcffff 0xdc000-0x103fff

It always needs an even number of insertions.

Seems so, these are the messages for yenta on 2.4.21:

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 01:09.0

3.2.2

The same ones as yenta, here you have the messages I get with it just in case:

Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.2

Hope this helps, if you need anything else, just ask for it.

I'm fighting this same O2Micro (HP Pavilion ze4400). I could not get yenta to do squat with it under 2.4 which means a lot of fudging configs around to even try to get it working on 2.6. i82365 works on 2.4 (with IRQ routing complaints) but refuses to acknowlege it's existance on 2.6. Could you post or send me your PCIC=yenta config file? (Debian /etc/default/pcmcia. I don't know where on other distros.)

TIA,
mwa

I'm running Debian unstable here but I do not have anything special on that file, just the defaults changing the driver into yenta_socket, and even this is not necesary if you happen to have just yenta compiled.

# Defaults for pcmcia (sourced by /etc/init.d/pcmcia) PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=

Crap, I was afraid of that. That means my problem is probably BIOS related.

Just in case, would you mind sending me your 2.4 config off-list?

Thanks,

At Mon, 11 Aug 2003 12:22:36 +0200,

perhaps CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR is set off?

Yes, sorry about this one, I didn't knew this option, which is also quite hidden under INPUT_MISC, and also I thought the beeper was an output device, not input :-??? Anyway, it was that and after activating it, it works ok.

Thanks!
