Notes
Special keys
Install the AcerHK module [http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/ Acer HK] (for P1 & P2 buttons)
- at end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh, add these lines
setkeycodes e071 201 # for P1 button setkeycodes e072 202 # for P2 button
- add these lines in $HOME/.xmodmaprc
keycode 169 = XF86Launch0 # P1 button keycode 171 = XF86Launch1 # P2 button keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 178 = XF86WWW keycode 236 = XF86Mail
SpeedStep
Somes Acer 2012Wlmi processors are dothan, like mine :
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 599.585 cache size : 2048 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe est tm2 bogomips : 1199.96
Speedstep for centrino works with the standart kernel, but if you want to add 800, 1000 and 1200 Mhz supported by the Dothan follow these steps.
patch your kernel with this patch [http://localhost.ruhr.de/~stefan/acerTM292/patches/cpufreq-speedstep-dothan-3.patch Speedstep Centrino Dothan Tables]
- recompile your kernel, and ... Magic, it works!
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 600000 800000 1000000 1200000 1500000
Before doing that, read the disclaimer for this patch on this site : [http://localhost.ruhr.de/~stefan/acerTM292/]
InfraRed
just load the irda module (modprobe irda), and irtty_sir module, then type as root: irattach /dev/ttyS0.
