Hi all,
There is a new APM BIOS driver patch on my home page. It is
against 2.1.127pre3. Its does the following:
- all configuration options (and then some) are now
settable at boot time by passing "apm=..." to
the kernel.
- a long standing bug has been fixed so that suspend/standby
initiated by "apm -S/s" doesn't do BUSY callbacks to the
BIOS
- the beginnings of the big patch from Craig Markwardt
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> are in there, but not
the ioctl interface (yet)
I have put this out for testing and to let you all know I have
not forsaken you :-)
Please send bug reports and/or suggestions.
I am also considering a sysctl() interface to some of the
useful bits - comments?
[By the way, to get 2.1.127pre3 to compile (I am using gcc 2.7.2.3)
I had to edit include/asm-i386/spinlock.h and add a dummy element
to the rwlock_t definition on line 92 and its initialisation on
line 93.]
Cheers,
Stephen
