hello everyone
i am an owner of an asus w1962N and i wanted to use acpi4asus to enable
support for the front led display.
i am on:
ubuntu dapper
uname -r: 2.6.15-25-686
so i downloaded:
acpi4asus-0.40 (for kernels <=2.6.19)
i am a bit confused about the README. it says that linux-sources should
be installed. though many other resources tell, that usually you only
need the kernel-headers for compiling kernel specific modules. is there
something special about acpi4asus?
anyway, i installed the linux-sources (on debian and debian based
systems, these are usually installed in /usr/src/$(KVER), not
in /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build).
so i changed the KDIR-line in driver/Makefile to:
KDIR := /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15
then i did:
make
which gave me this output:
http://www.romanhaefeli.net/acpi4asus_makelog.txt
i saw, that some files are missing and also, that "Symbol version
dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15/Module.symvers is missing".
i don't know how i could fix this. and i also don't know if i am doing
it right.
i realized, that some files, which are missing, are actually in
linux-headers, not in linux-source. so i changed the KDIR-line again to:
KDIR := /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-25-686/
and 'make' gave me:
http://www.romanhaefeli.net/acpi4asus_makelog2.txt
apparently, 'linux/leds.h' is missing now. there is no such file on my
system at all. i need help here as well.
the README mentions as requirements:
" You also need CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS and CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE."
what do i need to do in order to fulfill these requirements?
sorry for my noobish questions. any help is very appreciated.
roman
