Try setting hw.pci.do_power_resume=0 and hw.pci.do_power_suspend=0 in sysctl.conf If that doesn't work for you try setting each to one separately, and together if all fails. Also try setting resume beep and see whether it's getting that far (debug.acpi.resume_beep=1). I've had no time to test settings separately, but setting both sysctls leads to the same issue as you : a modem-like beep at resume time :/ Also, I sometimes get a black screen when rebooting into the kernel I have which is known to work (graphics + 3D accel + suspend/resume). Quite strange, it persists at reboot. The only way I have found is remove the battery and wait a few hours to be able to start X again...

Some general followup/status of brightness: The hotkeys are working just fine out of the box, at least as far as they seem to adjust the brightness value seen by acpi_video, however as we know this doesn't actually seem to do much. There are a couple of branches in the ACPI code when brightness is called, one of which checks for integrated or discrete graphics (why I do not know as discrete is not an option). If \VIGD returns 1 (which I think means graphics are integrated) it talks to the \_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.BRNS method, which doesn't seem to do anything for us. If \VIGD returns 0 (which I think would mean discrete graphics if available) it calls \VBRC The above method simply bypasses the VIGD switch and calls \VBRC directly. There are other ACPI methods which seem to be related, but I have yet to figure out what they mean...VBTC is one, and some _Q(X)(X) methods also seem to talk to the EC about the panel and brightness etc. It seems like we need to find how to make the EC be in charge of brightness instead of whatever VBRC is doing (it's an SMI call). I think brightness might just work fine...another note is the fact that acpi_video sees lcd0 as inactive...not sure why. Regarding acpi_ibm, it appears that it is also talking to the EC, which is why brightness cannot work there. Although for some reason, probably an alignment or address change, the fan speed appears corrupt after setting brightness via acpi_ibm, the fan controls still work fine in both manual and automatic as far as I can tell. It seems like if we can determine why the EC does not care for brightness settings, or isn't in charge of brightness, that we would be a small patch away from fixing acpi_ibm for this model. HOWEVER, it appears resume is now toast on CURRENT, since at least a few months, with or without Konstantin's patches. I'm not sure what's hanging, although setting suspend_beep=1 creates a horrible sound during the failing resume, which may indicate it's something fairly early in the resume, or even concurrent with beeping. Even bounce does not work, and debugging is complicated by the lack of display. If anyone has anyone ideas for fixing resume on CURRENT, we'd be awful close to having a pretty damn nice laptop for FreeBSD.

Re: x220 notes
Interesting. So brightness value is changed, but not acted upon then when using the hotkeys? I could care less about suspend/resume as I don't really use it. Brightness and the fan (thanks for reminding me about the corruption) are what is killing my use. I have a SSD so even though boot isn't 5sec on FreeBSD, I can still live with waiting 10 extra seconds. Having brightness eat up my battery time and fan spinning like crazy is a problem, though. What do you mean by the fan controls still work in manual and automatic? Does that mean every time brightness is changed, fan speed needs to be set to auto again for it to work properly? Also, I assume the dimming from inactivity will not work until EC is responsible for brightness change? ... and then I have the issue with Konstantin's latest patch for STABLE where after I exit X, I have no monitor or keyboard control.

Re: x220 notes
Any news on the brightness? My X220 came and FreeBSD installs and boots fine with MBR. But like you said brightness control is not working and I am stuck at max. Even with me 9cell battery, it brings it down to 5 hours instead of 8-9 with a slightly dimmer setting. P.S. I didn't have to touch anything in BIOS. Ditch the webcam...it's grainy under linux, probably would be the same under FreeBSD...haven't even tried. Intel wireless is THE way to go...that Realtek is barely supported on Linux (I believe 8192SU is still staging drivers...) FreeBSD only legacy boots, however UEFI USB Support must be on to allow USB booting for some reason. I have IPS...it's very nice, but still no brightness yet. I'll get a chance to look at again this weekend most likely. I think it's just an issue with our acpi_ibm that isn't talking to the embedded controller right. Resume works, but the screen is not on. I can now confirm it is *off* and not just dimmed/no backlight. Setting BIOS to use an external monitor and disabling internal exhibits same behavior as internal display, i.e external monitor set as BIOS primary does not come back from power save. I have tried typing dpms force commands, did not work. Once resume brightness work, it will be great for FreeBSD...everything else seemed fine, although I have not used fingerprint reader or card reader... An interesting note is that the BIOS does whitelist the wireless card, and the wwan slot defaults to being a mSATA until it detects a whitelisted USB ID or perhaps has no PCIe lines...not sure but my ral card I'm working with will not detect in the second slot at all. The slot may start as PCIe only in earlier bios, haven't checked (google x220 egpu x220 msata issue).

Hi, controlling brightness works for me (via shell) - taking matt's advice into account: \VBRC seems to allow control over the backlight, at least, so those of you with sore eyes or the 3-cell battery may have some success using the acpi_call port (Danger!) kldload acpi_call acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i n (where n is 0-16; 17 (and -1) is off) Cheers, Hannes ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

2012/4/1 Любомир Григоров nm.kn...@gmail.com: Well I can't do the brightness switching. acpi_call port is installed, but: # kldload acpi_call kldload: can't load acpi_call: No such file or directory # acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i 14 ioctl: Device not configured At least closing the lid turns off the monitor (not going to sleep), which is OK to conserve energy when not using. I would like to be able to change brightness, however. And have dimming. A minor problem, with the KMS Intel patch, when I log out of X (startx or xfce4), screen goes black. I don't know if this is acpi related. I typed reboot, and nothing happened.

Hi Любомир, i'll be answering the 1,2 questions from my experience with the X220: I bought my X220 with the Realtek wireless and the webcam. I tried running -CURRENT a couple of months ago, (just after the bump to 10-CURRENT) but the wifi was a no-go, so yeah, I'd suggest getting the intel adapter too. As for the camera, I've been running Arch linux, and the performance (resolution, refresh rate) have been fine, as far as I know at least. I've used it for some skype conferencing and it worked fine. No flickering, no issues at all. Without knowing about the webcamd compatibility of the specific model, I am happy about choosing the camera instead of the antenna, as I never have any problems connecting to my access point, even when I am far away with 4-5 walls in between. As for the rest, I can't comment on, as I did not install freebsd at all, and as such I did not test the other parts. The wireless was a big issue for me you see. just my 0.02$ -vid ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have tried typing dpms force commands, did not work. Once resume brightness work, it will be great for FreeBSD...everything else seemed fine, although I have not used fingerprint reader or card reader... An interesting note is that the BIOS does whitelist the wireless card, and the wwan slot defaults to being a mSATA until it detects a whitelisted USB ID or perhaps has no PCIe lines...not sure but my ral card I'm working with will not detect in the second slot at all. The slot may start as PCIe only in earlier bios, haven't checked (google x220 egpu x220 msata issue).

So I'm going to start over with the newer Konstantin patch and 10-current.

There are so far about 4 patches required agains HEAD for this machine to be usable...KMS, acpi-ibm patches, iwn patches, and currently newvers.sh. I have done testing with all these rolled back, problem is still there...I think it could be UEFI/ACPI related? vbetool, dpms.ko, acpi_video, none can talk to the monitor.

Xrandr works fine if monitor is attached after X starts If X is started after monitor is attached to VGA, LCD is suddenly 1024x768 with vertical black bars, VGA is mirrored with no bars I then did xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1 (now resolution okay on VGA1, LVDS1 is still wrong) xrandr --auto xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 Suddenly there is part of LVDS1 output showing on VGA1...double vision... Kind of hard to explain...part mirror, part extend Attached is Xorg.log...I can take a photo at home if that helps.

x220 notes
The saga continues: I see two major issues on this machine (which is great for a server os on a laptop :): 1. Screen brightness is not controllable/screen is off or backlight is 0 after resume I have tried suspend with a stripped down GENERIC (usb, wifi, ethernet, sound etc drivers all removed). This did not affect the outcome, the laptop resumes fine, but the screen is off. The is a noisy ACPI error about setting some PCIE stuff into D2...? (Oct 3 16:51:45 sylph kernel: pci0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \_SB_.PCI0.EXP7: AE_BAD_PARAMETER) I have investigated acpi_video...I can't seem to get it to do anything on this machine, although all the ACPI handles it looks for are present. sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1 does (0 = 0), and brightness changes have no effect. xset dpms force off sleep 2 xset dpms force on actually does work, the only thing which does. dpms.ko does not work. xbacklight finds no screens. acpi_ibm does attach with LEN0068 added as an ID, but setting brightness suddenly causes correct fan speed, around 1950rpm to become 65535 rpm...I think this might be close to the fix. The acpidump (I have posted it here:https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B6YlMzJxarGbYjE4OTgzYjYtOTQ1OC00YWU3LWE0MGItZDk1MmZiMDIxNTRhhl=en_US) actually checks for FreeBSD during OSI. Doesn't seem to help. I can't seem to make either acpi_ibm or acpi_video adjust the backlight although both seem to think they can. Ultimately, I think if we can set backlight, we can fix the screen after resume...I think it's just the backlight is low/off on resume... 2. psm does not detect synaptics click pad To make matters worse, xf86-input-synaptics doesn't like it either. I have seen some linux posts where the device probe for PS/2 was disrupting it (psm?) and xf86-input-synaptics says found mouse model 0 instead This of course is simply annoying and not as annoying as broken screens! There are other small things that may I have not cared to test such as fingerprint reader and camera card reader.

I just picked up an X220 and have been trying to get FreeBSD running well. Some tips ichsmb acpi_video (attaches but doesn't work) aesni coretemp powerd is a must, these processors seem to be designed to run very hot unless throttled. Somehow my C3 state disappears when on AC, I think that's a bios setting? acpi_ibm needs LEN0068 added to the list of ibm ids at the beginning of /usr/src/sys/dev/acpi_support/acpi_ibm.c...I'd write a patch but that machine is in a world of ports hurt right now :). With this many of the sysctls and leds work, still no brightness (w or wout intel DRI from Konstantin...thanks Konstantin!!) sleep/resume work, but screen is off after resume and cannot be awakened (even w/ dpms and or acpi_video). I did have some issues with an Intel 6250 Wifi+Wimax that are fixed by the patch that was in the wireless list a while ago.

Any other logging or things to look at? I will try a minimal kernel shortly.
