[Debian-eeepc-devel] How to deal with the freeze?

[Ben Armstrong]

Can someone else please help test?  i.e.

- on a model supporting WMI (any 1xxxPx model, 1005HA, 1001HA, etc. if
your model requires the acpi_osi="Linux" hack for hotkeys to work, it
supports WMI)
- using 2.6.36 (from experimental)
- reboot, removing acpi_osi="Linux" from boot parameters and ...
- verify eeepc_wmi is loaded (or manually load with 'modprobe eeepc_wmi')
- start acpi_listen & press each Fn- key in succession, logging output
to a file (probably descending from Fn-F12 -> Fn-F1 is best so that the
suspend key is pressed last :)

send us the output

I believe 2.6.36 from experimental should have the eeepc_wmi module as:


synrg at lear:~/downloads/linux-2.6-2.6.36/debian$ grep -r EEEPC config
config/kernelarch-x86/config:CONFIG_EEEPC_LAPTOP=m
config/kernelarch-x86/config:CONFIG_EEEPC_WMI=m
