apm + klaptop - KobrAs - 2005-04-25
Hello,
I can get apm to work either klaptop. The problem is that apm and klaptop shows always im connected to AC, even if i remove the AC cable from the laptop.
/proc/apm says :
# cat /proc/apm
1.16ac 1.2 0x03 0x01 0xff 0x80 -1% -1 ?
and apm -v -d says :
# apm -v -d
APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.16ac)
AC on-line, no system battery
Using device 0x0a86, 1.16ac: 1.2
APM Flags = 0x03; AC Line Status = 0x01
Battery Status = 0xff; Battery Flags = 0x80
Battery %age = -1; Battery Time = -1, use_mins=0
Anyone has an ideea ?
01:33.45 < KobrAs> i forgot there to say, its fc3 that im using

Found this from the proc scheme:
Code:
bat-status:
00 - high
01 - low
02 - critical
03 - charging
04 - absent
ff - #f
bat-flags:
#x01 - high
#x02 - low
#x04 - critical
#x08 - charging
#x80 - absentSo..
Battery Status: 0xff: #f god knows [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]
Battery Flags: 0x80: absent
Presumably the reason for the -1 is that APM can in no way detect that you have a battery present. This is backed up by the indication that you are AC.
not much help.. just more info

what type of laptop is it and have you checked that the bios is as up to date as it can be ?

its a fujitsu-siemens amilo 1640 (amd sempron 3000+) bios is updated, and has nothing in it to change the power settings. the problem i think is that it doesnt support apm and I need to use linux with apm=on acpi=pff so my sound and network card to work. If acpi i s on the my sound and network card are detected but cannot use them cause some timed out errors (dmesg shows that)..
