Hello, I've been quiet, as I got sound and my ppa (imm) zip drive working!
For the past couple days, I've tried everything I could find on the web the Thinkpad 560, and it's APM problems. I even downgraded my BIOS to the 1.1 version. I built many kernels, even 2.2.0 on the slink CD. (Which has the new "ignore multiple sus/res cycles") I went back to 2.0.36 as everything else (CDROM,etc.) works OK with that kernel. The machine will suspend/resume OK (multiple times) when plugged in, but when running off battery, it always logs "can't enter requested state" when I close the display. The "APM" patch posted on one site appears to be already included in the 2.0.36 version of apm_bios.c from what I can determine by comparing the (old?) patch with the source. As it works PERFECTLY when on AC, I am still persuing this. I am wondering if perhaps there are other "variables" in this picture that I am overlooking. In other words, is "apm_bios.c" the only thing that I should have to muck with to fix this? Or could the "apmd" daemon be at fault possibly? I really want to get this working. ANY help or advise is welcome! John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
