Hi all
I've been following kernel-traffic and sometimes the web-archives in search
for some clues about support for my laptop (jewel jade 8060, specs(in dutch):
URL:http://www.jewelnotebooks.nl/index.php?page=jade-8060)
I've noticed some problems and I've seen some proposals for patches and
fixes, but I don't have a clear picture of which is fixed and by which
patch...
The problems I have seen:
- apm doesn't seem to work
output:
APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.16)
AC on-line, no system battery
Q: will the ACPI patches help with this?
- the -ac2 patch wasn't able to boot at all (no messages), but I haven't
tried it more than once... the intel speedstep feature would be nice to have
though...
- resource collision on PCI 00:1f.1?
bootmessages: PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions
Q: any fixes available for this?
- missing driver for smartmedia slot
(I guess this is a feature request, if it's not available)
from "lspci -v":
02:06.0 System peripheral: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0804
(rev 02)
Subsystem: COMPAL Electronics Inc: Unknown device 0012
Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at e0000c00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=32]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
Otherwise I'm quite satisfied with linux on the laptop...
BTW, I'm not on the list, but I do sometimes parse the archives and
kernel-traffic. If anyone wants more details or if there's something I can
do to gather more information, please cc me or ask directly...
Cheers
Simon

For the benefit of the archives, that is in the 2.5 kernel's pci.ids as:
0804 TC6371AF SmartMedia Controller
Docs at:
http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/TC6371AF--020122E_R1.8.pdf
http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/TC6371AF--020122E_R1.8.pdf
Also, a post archvied at:
http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/ML/tlinux-users/1700/1739.html
suggests someone had the TC6371AF's smart media support working on a
suse 7.2 box back in 2002/January, FWIW.

It sound like to be actually the same as a Toshiba Satellite for me.
Interresting. FYI, this model is made by Compal <http://www.compal.com>
which is the actual manufacturer.

APM do not work with the Satellite too. So, yes, it is very likely to be
the exact same model...

Yes and no. You will have to make a (little) workaround in order to get ACPI
working, due to a bug in the BIOS.

You could have that with ACPI. Alternatively, you can try cpufreq.

In fact, the smartmedia slot is available as a USB device..
Just compile with SCSI support. Under the USB menu, you have a
'USB Mass Storage support' entry. You should then have a
'Microtech CompactFlash/SmartMedia support'

This is the Firewire link. You can try IEEE 1394, the correct driver
should be OHCI-1394. Since I have no HW to play with that, I can not
promise anything..
A final word: if you want ACPI for this one, you should go to
http://sf.net/projects/acpi
Try the latest patch. Alas, if your model is buggy in the BIOS, (and
I know already that it is the case, actually) you should
ask for help in acpi mailing list at acpi-devel (at) lists.sourceforge.net
or ask me privately (but at ducrot (at) poupinou.org with a subject
containing ACPI please).
Cheers,
