- REQ: Final Guide to ACPI with HP Notebooks
- Posted by mandrake on March 1st, 2004
Could anyone post a simple and complete guide to make finally run ACPI
on Hewlett-Packard (HP) notebooks?
By "simple" I mean: NO kernel compile required.
My notebook: HP ze4500, BIOS KA-1.49, AMD Athlon 2500+, ATI Radeon IGP
320M.. (all works with mandrake 10rc1, all except the ACPI! the fan
never stops working! and must power down manually)
Is it possible?
anyone knows how?
I've heard a lot: Updating the BIOS? Enabling ACPI before
installation, or in bootloader.. ? What else? But for some-one works,
other-ones not.
Every experience is well accepted!
Bye

Why did you reply to this guy if not to help? Did you make yourself feel
better?

I used to run MDK 9.1 on it.
Been tinkering with ACPI for a looooong time, to no avail. Finally
discovered klaptop, small applet in KDE Panel. It gave me a hint to use APM
instead. Disabled ACPI at boot, through MCC->Boot, then configured klaptop.
Clickety click all the way. Suspend to disc, suspend to RAM, all worked. I
even remember seeing some options concerning fan, performance vs. silence,
of course I've chosen silence; where else I could see it if not in klaptop?
Hope it gives you a clue.

I couldn't get it working without a kernel compile. I have a hp Pavillion
xt155. No APM support and I could only get ACPI working via a kernel patch
and compile.
FYI, to try out some of the distros to see if they work, checkout some of
the live distrobutions. Mandrake Move, Knoppix, PC Linux OS, etc These
distros run off of the CD and let you see exactly what does and doesn't
work. The latest Knoppix (3.3) actually supported my wireless card, dvd
player, etc out of the box.
btw, I've read that the Radeon IGP 3X0M chips should be fully supported
w/XFree 4.4

They are. I'm running XFree86 4.4 and I get full 3d acceleration with my
IGP 320M. ACPI, however, does not fully work. I've got a ze4430us. Even
with all the latest updates, processor stepping doesn't work, and
neither does frequency/voltage scaling. I get an error about "14 PST
tables...No PST tables match this cpuid" and that apparently my bios is
b0rked.
Is there anything more we can do that sit and wait? This seems so
inefficient...
