T e s t i n g -- If ACPI.PSD is working fine on your notebook and GetNotify.exe and EmbeddedEvent.exe catch events (brightness, LCD on/off, multimedia keys) then * Download ACPI Manager (http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=down), Start it, press OK, exit. Find .dat and .dsl files in the directory of ACPI Manager. * Collect codes (switch to AC, to battery; Brigthness, Volume, LCD On/off, notebook cover close/open, power button) generated by util\\GetNotify.exe, util\\EmbeddedEvent.exe * Find a super button on your notebook. For example Thinkpad is equipped with Access IBM button (http://ecomstation.ru/temp/200703/Access-IBM.jpg) * Send us the logs, codes and information about super button. D e e p t e s t i n g -- If ACPI.PSD is working but events are not catched then * You should have experience how to install ACPI.PSD, how to make acpica log, how to send zip files via email. * Join #ecolabs irc-channel (irc://irc.ecomstation.com/ecolabs), download configured irc-client (http://ecomstation.ru/download/openchat-20070217.zip) * Check if your notebook has fixed DSDT table at http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php Inform us if your notebook has fixed DSDT table. * You should have notebook available in your hands, stay at irc-channel for 2-3 days, 3 hours per day. * And you should be ready to work in stress mode 1 hour per day (execute commands and send logs to the developers) Send logs to: support at ecomstation dot ru (rename .zip files to .ziq) P.S.
