ACPI on Sony VAIO z505s on fresh -CURRENT

[Vladimir B. Grebenschikov]

Hi

Anybody tried subj ?

It compiles in, and seems to work:

Aug 17 14:16:58 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: ACPI debug layer 0x0  debug level 0x0
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi0: PTLTDRSDT   on motherboard
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi0: power button is handled as a fixed 
feature programming model.
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: Timecounter ACPI  frequency 3579545 Hz
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_cpu0: CPU on acpi0
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_tz0: thermal zone on acpi0
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_button0: Power Button on acpi0
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_pcib0: Host-PCI bridge on acpi0
Aug 17 14:16:59 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: pci0: PCI bus on acpi_pcib0
Aug 17 14:17:00 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_pcib0: matched entry for 0.10.INTA 
(source \_SB_.LNKB)
Aug 17 14:17:00 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_pcib0: device is routed to IRQ 9
Aug 17 14:17:00 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_cmbat0: Control method Battery on

Aug 17 14:17:00 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_acad0: AC adapter on acpi0
Aug 17 14:17:00 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_timer0: 24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz 
port 0x8008-0x800b on acpi0
Aug 17 14:17:01 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_cpu0: set speed to 100.0%
Aug 17 14:17:01 vbook /boot/kernel/kernel: acpi_cpu: CPU throttling enabled, 8 steps 
from 100% to 12.5%

acpidump - dumps a lot of information

But there are some problems with using acpi:

1st: it seems that acpi not emulates apm interface (/dev/{apm,apmctl}) so
 apm-based utilites don't work (apmd, zzz, monitors and so)

 Is it planned to have apm interface through acpi or not ?
 If I compile both in kernel - apm code not works.

2nd: Where I can get more info about acpimodes, from man acpiconf(8):
  -s type
 Enters the specified sleep mode.  Recognized types are 1, 2, 3,
 4, and 5.
 in man acpiconf(8) there are no mention about mode 4b 
 I have tried some:
1,2 - do nothing
5   - turn off machine without proper shutdown

3rd: I have tried couple utilites from http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/acpi/
  batt.c- works after patching, but if no battary present on laptop
  shows 1 battary with unrealistic numbers
  health.c  - I can't make it work - it seems it lacks of defines in kernel

  May be there are some other utilites for acpi ?

At least I don't have plan to imprement apmctl.There is more appropreate 
way: kqueue. That is undergoing project. Imprementing ome apm-compatible 
interface may be good thing.

health.c will not work because Thermal zone driver has no ioctl 
interface for now.
But there is sysctl interface instead.

  May be there are some other utilites for acpi ?

User interface of ACPI itself is not so fixed.
