RE: [ACPI] [PATCH, new ACPI driver] new sony_acpi driver
Basically, this driver just call some specific AML method for hotkey function,
that can be
achieved through generic hotkey driver filed at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3887.
So I don't think this driver is needed.

RE: [ACPI] [PATCH, new ACPI driver] new sony_acpi driver
Basically, this driver just call some specific AML method for hotkey function,
that can be
achieved through generic hotkey driver filed at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3887.
So I don't think this driver is needed.

Subject: [ACPI] [PATCH, new ACPI driver] new sony_acpi driver
Hi,
This driver has been submitted (almost unchanged) on lkml and
on acpi-devel twice, first on July 21, 2004, then again on
September 17, 2004. It has been quietly ignored.
Privately I've had many positive feedbacks from users of this driver
(and no negative feedback), including Linux distributions who wish
to include it into their kernels. The reports are increasing in number,
it would seem that newer Sony Vaios are more and more incompatible
with sonypi and require sony_acpi to control the screen brightness.
Please integrate this patch in -mm for wider testing and into
the ACPI tree.
Original announcement follows below.
Thanks,
Stelian.
PS: I am also going to submit a bugzilla RFE for the acpi people,
I have been told they are more receptive to that.

Most of the Sony Vaio owners are happy with the current sonypi
driver, which makes them able to get/set the screen brightness,
capture the jogdial and/or special key events etc.
However, some newer Vaio series (FX series, and not only those) lack
a SPIC device in their ACPI BIOS making the sonypi driver unusable
for them.
Fortunately, there is another ACPI device, called SNC (for Sony
Notebook Control) which seems to be present in all Vaios, which
can be used to access some low-level laptop functions. From what
I understood, the SPIC device itself is built on top of SNC.
The SNC device is able to drive the screen brightness, and probably
more (what is does more is yet unknown). The attached driver is a
first shot of using the SNC directly.
In the default mode, the sony_acpi driver let's the user get/set the
screen brightness, and only that.
The screen is one of the most important power consumers in a laptop,
so being able to set its brightness is very important for many users,
making this driver useful even if it does only that.
In the debug/developer mode (which can be activated with a module
option), the driver let's the user see a few other knobs, whose
effects is however unknown. Using the debug mode we may hopefully
find what those knobs do and propose that extra functionalities in
the future versions of the driver (if someone at Sony is listening,
you know what we need from you...)
This driver does not interact with the current sonypi driver, both
drivers can be used at the same time.
