Hi, i have a acer laptop (travelmate 4501LCi) and i have installed
ubuntu warty 4.10 (kernel 2.6.8.1)
the battery applet didnt works... this because /proc/acpi/battery/ is empty!
ps -e | grep acpi
5 ? 00:00:00 kacpid
3977 ? 00:00:00 acpid
so i disassembled my dsdt to see if i get compiling errors.. i only get
3 warnings. here comes the first question, i got only warning no
errors.. so my dsdt is ok or the cause i cant read my battery is those 3
warnings?
i tryed to fix this out, i fix the first, but not the last 2.
first warning:
dsdt.dsl 245: Method (_WAK, 1, NotSerialized)
Warning 2026 - ^ Reserved method must return a value (_WAK)
i fix this adding this line at the end of the involved method
Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00})
just before the last }
the others to warning are on the same line:
dsdt.dsl 4508: Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
Warning 2019 - ^ Not all control
paths return a value (_STA)
dsdt.dsl 4508: Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
Warning 2026 - ^ Reserved method
must return a value (_STA)
this is a big if statment with an else Return (0x08)
i just remove the last else return and i left only the return...
now compiling error are 0. are those fixes correct?
and the most important thing, could those warnings be my problem... if
not what should i check?
