Re: [LIB] Non standard i/o port

It is 00eeh. At least bit 11 goes high when the AC is connected and goes low when it is disconnected. Does anyone know what the rest of the bits indicate? I am searching for the port which turns the backlight on and off. You might find the docs at http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/docs.html of use. Not only doc. Also a driver and utilities (for linux) I already saw the HCI one and I found the 70/50 doesn't have it. Its too ?? bad because the hibernation test might help with hibernation problems. Has anyone tested it on a 100/110? The System Manager one is new to me. I knew it is built into the pentium but hadn't worked out how to access it yet. I think I might have found the ports for the display and backlight. Am leary to test them though since I hate plugging values You can turn display bright, dark, or off on L50, L100, L110 (I have tested it) and on L70 (I presume) I do know that between the L100/110 era and more recent laptops, Toshiba changed a pile of stuff for power management. For instance, newer laptops hibernate to a file on the file system called toshiber.sys (I think its .sys anyway) and you can delete that file whenever you like, when it hibernates it'll recreate it on the file system where there is room without blowing away stuff. Not found this on L110 And this suppose a greater interaction between the BIOS and one dedicated OS Which OS ? ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I think this applies to later machines than the 110 - dunno about other librettos but I'm told that portege and tecras use it. They have some perverse idea that users will be using micros~1 on them. I wonder if that means that the bios knows about vfat and ntfs filesystems, or if it just throws an interrupt at the OS - in which case linux should be able to catch it, if someone smarter than me writes a driver... I'm probably going to end up with a dual boot machine anyway, when/if the libretto gets upgraded to something with a larger screen.

I recall doing a hibernate from DOS on a Portege 3110 (I think) and getting it to work for instance (but this was about a year or so ago). - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

I'm quite sure it doesn't just throw an interrupt at an OS ... a fully frozen Portege 3110 managed to hibernate for instance. I'd go for the 'OS knows how to manage FAT12/16/32 and NTFS' idea. Does anyone have a pretty recent Toshiba notebook and want to try hibernating it after booting off a DOS boot disk? - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
