Amilo M-7400
with OpenSuSE - Kernel 2.6.x
This notebook works with LINUX
™. I tried OpenSuSE
10.0, SuSE
9.1, SuSE
9.0
and SuSE
8.2.
Boot by CD-ROM or DVD, format the HD with ext2, ext3, ReiserFS or your
preferred file system.
With the AMILO M you are getting
yourself a truly
mobile notebook. Coming in an elegant, slim design but with a large
display and integrated wireless LAN it strikes a perfect balance
between mobility and performance. Thanks to Centrino technology it is
optimised for low power consumption, thus enabling extended battery
life. An S-Video out port, IEEE 1394 and 3 USB 2.0 interfaces are
built-in as standard to connect to all your digital peripherals and
multimedia devices.

Pentium M715 (1500MHz):

The Speed does not change when removing or plugging in the AC
adapter.
Battery status is working correctly. Notebook does not awake after
going into Suspend Mode!
Suspend Mode:
Viniac
just found out,
that
there is a way to get the suspend mode running on the Amilo M 7400
Notebook.
First there are two modules you have to install, written by Jozef
Vesely.
http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=4601&acton=view
(you'll have to save the attachment as *.tar.gz)
Jozef uses x86emu to reset the framebuffer device after the wakup.
Additional you have to use the ipw2100 driver >=1.0.3,
because else
you would have to remove the ipw2100 driver before going to S3 and
modprobe them after S3 again.
On by I also send you my acpid script for suspend:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
if cat /etc/network/ifstate | grep wlan0 > /dev/null ; then
touch /tmp/wlan
fi
echo 0 > /proc/driver/wireless/radio
echo performance >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
hwclock --systohc
/etc/init.d/hotplug stop
echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state
echo powersave >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 1 > /proc/driver/wireless/radio
if [ -f /tmp/wlan ] ; then
ifup wlan0
fi
hwclock --hctosys
/etc/init.d/hotplug start &
rm /tmp/wlan
[/code]
At the moment I'm using ipw2100 v. 1.0.2 , that'S why I have
to remove
the ipw2100 at the moment. If you're using newer versions you should be
able do delete this part of the script.
Update from
Sebastien
Estienne:
Suspend to disk to ram work flawlessly without the additonnal modules
that you suggest
Update
from Viniac:
I wrote you some time ago about the solution for using sleepmode S3.
Since I'm using kernel version >=2.15 I have some problems with
it.
The main problem is that the system just starts to go to suspend, but
then (for a reason I don't know by now) it stops an it returns to the
normal working behaviour.

Ettore
wrote me: On many sold models out there people have often found
impossible to get the CPU working at more than 600Mhz, even in windows.
That's because a bug in the bios keeps speedstep frequency stuck at the
lowest value. I used to have the same problem with bios release
R01-S0R, but flashing it to version R01-S0T (July 03) I found on the
Fujitsu-Siemens site solved such serious problem.

the CRT out:
I own a amilo-7400 and i wrote a little userspace driver that should
make possible manage crt out.
If you are interested in it is available on http://sourceforge.net/projects/i855crt.
It's still very experimental and doesn't provide complete management of
CRT out yet.
Another driver exist: 'i855switch', but mine is based on i855switch and
should make something better (I hope...).
Thank you, Andrea, it works fine for me. :-)

+ Download Acer Hotkeys from http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk
+ Before you compile the driver, change KERNELSRC in the Makefile to
your path to the kernel build environment!
+ Do 'make' and copy the created file "acerhk.ko" to your kernel
modules path
"/lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel/drivers/char/".
+ Update module dependencies: depmod -a
+ Load the new module with 'modprobe acerhk poll=1' (add this line to
/etc/init.d/boot.local for automated loading).
+ Now you are able to use these buttons. May be you add it to
~/.Xmodmap.

»I got the keys running fine. I installed the acerhk module and loaded

correctly and you may use KHotKeys (KDE Control Center) to assign
arbitrary actions to a keypress. To be able to use the wlan button I
execute 'sudo /usr/local/bin/wlan_toggle.sh' when pressing XF86Launch0.
I attached wlan_toggle.sh
and my sudoers file (I use
the intel driver). «

following:
Fn-F1 help hotkey (does work with Ubuntu)
Fn-F2 puts the computer in sleep mode
Fn-F3 display toggle, switches display output between display screen
and external monitor or to dual view
Fn-F4 screen blank, turns the display screen backlight off to save power
Fn-F5 speaker on/off

Guide for using Hotkeys:
The hotkeys are working just fine using the acerhk driver. I
had to
load it with "echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled" but
maybe
you have to use other options for the modules.
Use with KDE (like in Windows):
Preparation: Put the following
lines into your /etc/X11/Xmodmap:
keycode
147 = F20
keycode
236 = F21
keycode
178 = F22
keycode
159 = F23
keycode
151 = F24
Using
Keys Mail, WWW, P1, P2:
open the
KDE Menu Editor and
select the programms you want to start with the hotkeys, they can be
pressed now like any other key
Using the
WLAN key: Due to
/proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled never returns any value I use the
following script "wlan.sh" for controling the WLAN:
#!/bin/sh
# (C) 2004
Haschmi.de
if [ ! -f
/tmp/wireless_on ] ; then echo "Enabling WLAN..."
echo on
> /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
sleep 3
touch
/tmp/wireless_on 2>/dev/null
else
echo
"Disabling WLAN..."
echo off
> /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
sleep 3
rm
/tmp/wireless_on 2>/dev/null
fi
I made the script executable with root rights for all users by sudo and
put a link in the KDE menu so I could bind it to the WLAN key. So it
works like under Windows to en- and disable wireless lan by pressing
the WLAN key.
For enabling the acerhk driver and the WLAN on boot i added the
following lines to "/etc/init.d/boot.local":
modprobe
acerhk usedritek=1 poll=1 autowlan=1
echo on >
/proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
touch
/tmp/wireless_on
INFO: On my Amilo the WLAN LED is always off while using it

Andrea Merello wrote
me:
I just report you that SD/MMC/MS slot on Fujitsu-Siemens amilo m-7400

The slot uses a winbond chip for witch a driver is included
since
2.6.10. The driver is for MMC only but SD patches are availabe here: http://projects.drzeus.cx/wbsd/sd.php
It seems there is no support for MS yet. In past (2.6.10) I have tryied
the driver with MMC and no success. Now with 2.6.12 and SD it works. I
think the problem was not the MMC card, but instead a buggy bios for
witch workaround exists in 2.6.12.
This is a dmesg output on my system:
wbsd: Winbond W83L51xD SD/MMC card interface driver, 1.2-sd

wbsd: PnP active but chip not configured! You probably have a buggy

Configuring chip manually.

So:
2.6.10/2.6.11: Most probably nothing works

2.6.12.2 + SD patch: SD works, probably MMC also.

The solution for this problem: Using Linux kernel 2.6.7 I needed to add
boot
option "i8042.nomux" (to /boot/grub/menu.lst, for example) to get rid
of kernel messages "psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost

From OpenSuSE 10.0 it is not needfully to add this boot option.

- Load the module ipw2100: % modprobe

alternate: % modprobe fsam7400 radio=1
- Blastoff

- Stop WLAN
with: % echo 0
> /proc/driver/wireless/radio
- Do not
forget to configure your wireless device (YaST will help
you ...)! I named it eth1.
- To use
the WLAN-device I need to commanding »/sbin/ifconfig eth0
down« and »/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.X.X dev eth1«.
- Be sure the firewall do not block changing the
configuration.

Guide for using Hotkeys:
WLAN can only be enabled when the aerhk module was
loaded and a
"echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled" was done!
WLAN works just fine using the newest ipw220 driver from http://ipw2200.sf.net
(do not forget to also install the firmware!) After compiling and
installing the driver start YaST and start the network cards module.
There just go configure an unknown network card as type "wireless" with
the module name "ipw220" and the module options "ifname=wlan0".
Configure the rest according to your WLAN access point settings. If you
forget the "ifname=wlan0" the YaST configuration will get in conflict
with the ipw2200 module because it will always load as device eth0 then!
