ACPI: Kills Fn-F3 in presario laptops

ACPI: Kills Fn-F3 in presario laptops

Post by Hunt Ken » Mon, 23 Jul 2001 12:50:06



ACPI is making the Fn-F3 combination dead in the
compaq presario 1700 laptops. At least kernels
2.4.[6-7] have this problem. Fn-F3 switches the RGB
video output. This works without ACPI.

1. ACPI oddities with Presario laptop

Presario 1700 17XL4W laptop.
Are these explainable?

2.2.19 with no APM in the kernel:
        Fn-F3 controls the video output
                toggles LCD only, LCD+videoout,
videoout only
        Fn-F4 suspends to memory
        Fn-F7 and Fn-F8 controls brightness of LCD

2.4.6 with ACPI and no APM in the kernel:
        Fn-F3 is inoperative
        Fn-F4 is correctly reported by acpid (no
action in the driver yet)
        Fn-F7 and Fn-F8 controls brightness of LCD    

2.4.6 without ACPI in the kernel:
        Fn-F3 controls the video output as in 2.2.19
        Fn-F4 is inoperative
        Fn-F7 and Fn-F8 controls brightness of LCD    

So it seems that I lose Fn-F3 if I use 2.4.6 with
ACPI. But I don't lose
Fn-F[7-8]. Also 2.4.6 without ACPI is not identical as
2.2.19 without APM since
Fn-F4 doesn't work.
