------- Comment #82 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-07-22 13:02 ------- Hello, I saw something interesting a few days ago: I updated the bios of my msi l745 laptop to the latest version. After reboot, the "unknown key released" messages were not triggered anymore. However unplugging the AC adapter made them come back. Also one more thing: I tried to dump the content of the EC_SC (Embedded Controller Status) register some times ago to understand the "EC GPE Storm" issue, and I saw that the flag SMI_EVT was set from time to time. Moreover I read in a document from Phoenix that the keyboard controller may be involved to manage SMIs in Legacy more. So... one more wild guess: the EC is (wrongly) triggering SMIs to notify the state of the AC power and some SMI related data are made available on the keyboard controller ports, confusing the kernel. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the model/datasheets of my EC. lm_sensors says Trying family `National Semiconductor'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0xa300 But I'm not even sure that this information is reliable... (and at the moment I haven't found any datasheet that is matching the content of the registers specified in the DSDT). I also tried to dump the registers of the EC using the acer_ec.pl tool and force the state of some registers, but without any success. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
