[opensuse] Toshiba ACPI
Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-29x which I have just upgraded to opensuse 13.1 from Windows 7. I am experiencing a few issues which as far as I can tell may possibly be ACPI related but I am no expert. The first issue is with the Fn + F1 etc hotkeys and the lid close action. They do not work most of the time. The buttons are not even detected by opensuse. Although 1 in 10 boots (roughly) they decide to work perfectly fine (including the lid close). My brightness settings etc work fine by changing them manually in the OS so this is just the keyboard hotkeys and lid close button. These have always worked fine in Windows. The second issue is that unless the buttons are working the fan can sometimes be really loud. When the buttons and lid are working then the fan is fine and runs just as it always has done in windows. Apart from these issues opensuse 13.1 runs perfectly on this laptop. Can anyone help me with these issues? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No experience with that machine, but I have had similar problems over several generations of Opensuse. First: too small of a swap partition can prevent resuming from sleep. It has to be at least as big as memory. Second: I recall, but can't put my fingers on the source right now, problems with modules that had to be unloaded upon sleep, (or resume would mess up). Third, some laptops have specific modules that have to be loaded, but the installer should have detected that. Also some APCI is buggy and had to have some work around for that as well, but again the installer should have detected that as well, unless the machine is quite new. There are kernel command line parameters for dealing with acpi specifications, but finding the list of these is always a bit of a google fest because they are in a non-obvious place on the web. Forth: there are some bios updated that my might look into: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Toshiba_Satellite_L300 -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

John, Sleep works fine when I select Kickoff > Leave > Sleep and resume works fine too. I have 4GB RAM and 8GB Swap. (Generally I do this when disk space is not an issue so I can upgrade RAM later). It is as if the lid close 'button' is not detected (Same as the other hardware level buttons hotkeys for brightness, mute button, screen button, touchpad button. Malcolm, I have seen acpi_osi=Linux mentioned (didn't work) but I have not tried your suggestion yet, I will give it a go when I get a chance. I think that one of two things might be happening: Firstly (Most likely) the BIOS sees the Linux Kernel and does not like it so therefore ACPI features do not work (I have has this in the past with SATA controllers etc..) Therefore telling GRUB tht the acpi_osi is windows may work, I will post the results of this. Secondly it may just be an acpi driver issue with this kernel (or something similar) On 4 October 2014 19:44, Malcolm <malcolmlewis@cableone.net> wrote:

Hi Seems your mail client only sent it to me.... forwarded to list and set followup. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64) GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.11.10-21-desktop up 2 days 3:35, 3 users, load average: 0.14, 0.06, 0.12 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635@2.9GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
