re-assign to Mattia Michael, could you also attach the DSDT, the full dmesg, lspci and dmidecode? Thanks -- mattia Created attachment 20437 [details]

dmidecode
Ping mattia. :) errr... sorry. This model seems to have a few different features than the other models (as usual). The SPIC device is surprisingly different and the bluetooth and wwan power and fanspeed features depend on it. The attached patch might improve things a little bit for Fn keys, could you give it a try? thanks Created attachment 20490 [details]
try to enable extra features on Vaio TT
Michael, I forgot to mention that the patch applies on top of what I have recently sent to the linux-acpi ML a few days ago: http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=123588303519697&w=2 I can resend the whole batch to you privately if you prefer. so this bug can be marked as RESOLVED and PATCH_ALREADY_AVAILABLE, right? Not sure what that is going to enable though. I'd rather wait for the submitter to at least give some feedback about it. Sorry no, I don't think this bug is bug is resolved yet. I'll need the weekend to cleanup an repatch my sony-laptop.c with the patchset of linux-acpi@ and this little attachemnt. Actually, I already had hacked Type3 support for ICH9 and enabling the SNC routine for VGN-TT -- without success. Anyway, I'll try again with the official patches and report back ASAP. Thank you. Applied paches 1-9 plus above attachment to no avail. (In reply to comment #15) > Applied paches 1-9 plus above attachment to no avail. > sorry, what do you mean? you have applied the patch set from Mattia, right? does the patch set work for you? I applied Mattias patchset from linux-acpi@ and the patch from comment #10. It didn't help (== to no avail). Michael, the attached patch from Matthew Garret should help you, can you give it a go? thanks Created attachment 20619 [details]
Extra handling for new SNC models
That definitely does "something" _good_. Seems that all rfkill device interfaces work. Devices get initialized nicely and are even available after cold booting Linux. Seems that hso-7 and 5100AGN rfkill nodes are connected/descendant to/of the sony-wwan resp. sony-wifi nodes. Disabling the sony-wwan while connected results in a kernel oops though. Resume seems to be handled nicely too. sony-laptop now even receives unknown events when pressing EJECT or Fn+FX respectively using the rfkill switch. I'll attache the kernel log of this session. This results were taken with sony-laptop of Linux-2.6.28 + above patch from Matthew Garret + forcing Type3 model. Created attachment 20651 [details]

All the patches mentioned above is queued for 2.6.30, right?
Now there are two problems left,
1. kernel oops when disabling the sony-wwan while connected.
2. reveive unknown events when pressing EJECT or Fn+Fx key using rfkill switch.
Michael,
can you get the screenshot of the kernel oops and attach it here?
Mattia,
is this a known issue? can you look at this?
1) is not known. But looking at the log sony-laptop was not loaded when the oops occurred. 2) is known and should be fixed with the patch submitted to Len (also available in one single patch here: http://kamineko.org/sony-laptop-2.6.30.patch) Zhang, the oops in the attachment at comment #21. I also have this laptop and have found similar problems to those listed above. I'd be interested in helping out with any further testing. Also I have thus far not managed to get my 3G modem Options Globetrotter HSDPA modem working, is it at all related to this driver? I believe it has to be powered on in the same way Currently on 2.6.27.21 kernel Thanks (In reply to comment #24) > I also have this laptop and have found similar problems to those listed > above. > I'd be interested in helping out with any further testing. did you try the proposed patch already? Note also that that code (with additional fixes) is in 2.6.30-rc1 > Also I have thus far not managed to get my 3G modem Options Globetrotter > HSDPA > modem working, is it at all related to this driver?

Thanks ping Spencer. what's the status after upgrading the kernel to 2.6.30-rc? I upgraded kernel-firmware & kernel to 2.6.30-rc4 downloaded from koji, but have no luck with this one.... have I missed something? - FN laptop brightness is non-functional - Eject button, non-functional (was ok with 2.6.29.2) - Mute speaker button doesn't work Incidentally my gnome-terminal also has problems (window disappears immediately) Attachments to follow... Created attachment 21274 [details] various - dmesg/lspci/dmidecode etc running 2.6.30-rc4 kernel from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.30/0.78.rc4.git3.fc12/ (In reply to comment #27) > I upgraded kernel-firmware & kernel to 2.6.30-rc4 downloaded from koji, but > have no luck with this one.... have I missed something? > > - FN laptop brightness is non-functional > - Eject button, non-functional (was ok with 2.6.29.2) > - Mute speaker button doesn't work these could be related to sony-laptop, can you please: 1. unload the module (rmmod sony-laptop) 2. reload it with debug=1 (modprobe sony-laptop debug=1) 3. press the non-working buttons 4. attach the full (no grepping please) dmesg to this bug thanks a lot -- mattia Created attachment 21276 [details]
dmesg, sony-laptop debug=1
Full dmesg output with sony-laptop module loaded with debug=1
all of the key-presses have been recognized by the driver, this is a gnome/hal/whatever configuration issue. You should be able to see the keypress activity with xev while in X. The brightness has to be controlled via the acpi video driver so as far as sony-laptop is concerned this bug is fixed. -- mattia so if the acpi video driver is handling brightness -- does it work? (it works on my sony) ping Spencer I own a VGN-TT11WN and can confirm that 2.6.30-rcX fixes all sony-laptop problems for this model: - all 'hotkeys' are working - suspend works - video brightness adjustment works - wwanpower works Regards, Adrian good news. Adrain, thanks for confirming this. close this bug. Please open this bug again. fanspeed problem is not solved at all. fan is running all the time and /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/fanspeed cannot be changed. /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/fanspeed is usefull for reporting the speed and not for changing. |
