Lenovo X220 Problems

JamieKitson · 2012-02-28 10:20:25

eduedix, do you have the i915 boot options enabled?

yes i have them enabled JamieKitson.
btw David Butson, can you poweroff your X220 when you have your Runtime PM for devices enabled( as seen in powertop2 ), because i guess there is a bug somewhere. When i run 'poweroff' it turns off fine, but 1 sec later it turns on again. I disabled runtime pm and it poweroffs fine now.

I just updated the kernel again yesterday. Now when I run powertop2 I have a number of bad tunables, notably Runtime PM tunables. I also get this error message when I close powertop2: "Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop". After rebooting, none of the tunables seem to have stuck to what I set them to previously.

I notice that powering off my laptop works fine when plugged in, but does resume automatically as you describe when on battery.

It is similar, I think, to the problem associated with laptop-mode tools which enables PM runtime. With PM runtime enabled, my laptop (and others') reboots if shutdown on battery power.

It is extremely annoying because it means I can't really use PM runtime and so am shortening battery life...

I added a bunch (all?) of the fn+key combinations to my /etc/acpi/handler.sh (on my thinkpad x220t.) I pasted that file here for reference, in case it helps somebody else:

#!/bin/sh

other notes:
evdev catches the Fn button as XF86WakeUp, and the back/forward keys as XF86Back/XF86Forward.
Fn+1 or Fn+2 register as keycode 240 with the kernel
The bezel buttons are not caught by the kernel, so I added these lines to my /etc/rc.local:

setkeycodes 0x67 171 & #set "circle arrow" bezel button keycode, so evdev reads it as XF86Tools (X220 tablet)
setkeycodes 0x6c 154 & #set "orientation button" bezel button keycode, so evdev reads it as XF86RotateWindows (X220 tablet)

Can you try running any kind of application with webcam?

when i run skype or googletalk and start video-chatting, after a few minutes the whole laptop locks up, i dont get any response/reaction from any key and key combination(including caps lock).

do you know how to solve this issue? i didnt have this issue earlier, i think this is due to some updates lately. so please try it after updating.
