Acer TravelMate 3200 series

I'm trying to make the battery of my laptop shown in the linux. I have tried kernel compilation with no results.
The ACPI is enabled and I can see my CPU temp.
My kernel is 2.6.10 and I have Mandrake 10.1. The laptop is Acer TM 3201XMi

The battery is shown under Device manager from windows as "Microsoft Smart Battery" and "Microsoft Smart Battery Subsystem". I have found the files for the drivers in windows.. Wiil this help..?

thanks.. :)

The latest release of the sbs-cm package should work with the TM 3201XMi.

I managert to produce the patched DSDT.aml with the help of readme file.
Now I have to patch the kernel with it.
I noticed that there is a kernel option to use my own DSDT file (kernel 2.6.10)
Will this work or should I do the procedure descpiped into the readme file (which redirects me to a gentoo forum...)

As far as I know, there is no standard functionality in 2.6.10 that allows custom DSDTs. So you must be using a kernel that has been enhanced/patched by Mandrake.

But there's no reason why the kernel option won't work. So try it out; if it doesn't work, then you can try the instructions in the README file.

Rich

Hi,

In standard kernel 2.6.10 (from kernel.org) you can include a custom DSDT

Power Management Options (ACPI, APM ) --->
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
[*] Include Custom DSDT
(/etc/dsdt.hex) Custom DSDT Table file to include

You have to include .hex file if you use this method
(To obtain dsdt.hex: iasl -t c dsdt.dsl)

I tried to load DSDT by this method (with 2.6.10) but no battery status is shown and the loaded DSDT seems to be the original (diff shows no ouptut)

I encourage you to patch your kernel to read DSDT dinamically from initrd.

I use the kernel override technique all of the time, and it works perfectly. (I need to override the DSDT since the original DSDT has the wrong CPU frequencies in it. So I can immedeately see that its overridden.) There should be no difference whether the DSDT is overriden this way, or from the initrd (read the patch, it's clear).

You can verify that he DSDT was actually overridden by inspecting dmesg:

ACPI-0294: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
