Acer Aspire One

Tera, I think the issue I had was related to ext3. With ext4, I managed to suspend/resume a couple of times without failure, though it later did fail and caused corruption to the SDHC-card. It might have been because I use "auto" in fstab so it mistook it for ext3 instead of 4 or something. The fsck then mangled the filesystem and put all the files in lost+found.

I'll grab the latest kernel as soon as the restore is complete.

E: Okay, suspend doesn't work at all again. How weird. I've tried it without pciehp, without a framebuffer, without using LABEL in fstab and without any extra options on the kernel line. Doesn't work. I really wonder why.

2 minor issues, right hand card reader doesn't work, (I never use it anyway.) and I could not get acerhdf to work so am using acerfand.

I'm not at home right now so I don't have a spare SD card to test the right slot but I will do that asap and if there really is a problem with it, fix it. Acerhdf doesn't work as I haven't included the corresponding kernel patch. I will do that in the next release. Thanks for the headups.

@Tera: Would this kernel be suitable for the hard disk version as well? My AA1 has a sata hd now...I'm still using the stock kernel..:)

I would think so. Please try, and if not, I'll be glad to fix the issues.

I just realised there might be one big difference on our setups. I don't use HAL at all.

Ok, I've tried on my AA1 today tera's kernel...Left and right sd slot works...I don't know if it does work also if you use the right sd-slot as your home since I've upgraded to an hd now..:) ...I'm going to try to connect to my school's wifi networks later to see if the wifi leds are working...:) All in all, it's fast at booting..:) Great work tera

update:
-I've tried doing suspend to ram with both tera's kernel and my stock kernel, it seems tera's kernel is faster to wake up IMO...

-Since I have dual booted xp and arch, my xp uses an ntfs partition. Dolphin cannot mount it, it says unknown filesystem...This works on the stock kernel...:(

-Anyone managed to do a suspend to disk on kde 4.2 on their AA1? I had no luck both on the stock and tera's kernel. Am I missing something rather? [DONE] By following the pm-utils wiki, I've managed to suspend to disk successfully!:)

The kernel does not have the "ordinary" NTFS support at all. If you need one, use NTFS-3g. Can be installed with Pacman. This is what I use myself as well, as I sometimes have to work with NTFS formatted USB sticks.

EDIT: You can always edit the kernel config yourself so that the NTFS driver is built during makepkg. I can add the NTFS driver to be built as module, on the next kernel update but obviously most folks don't need this so I'm not going to hurry up with the kernel upgrade just because of this

Does the left led of the wifi leds don't work? What's its work? When does it lights?:) Yeah, ntfs support won't be that big burden...I can mount it manually anyway..:) The right led works, confirmed...:D Cheers to your kernel Tera!!!:D Thanks alot

Hi,

I've a problem with the videos:

fast motion:

slow motion:

I also tried to change these settings:

#       Option      "Clone" "true"
#       Option      "MonitorLayout"     "LVDS,VGA"
...
#       Option      "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
#       Option      "AccelMethod" "EXA"
#    Option      "AccelMethod" "UXA"

but nothing

ahaslam · 2009-03-20 08:42:35

Try this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 25#p465725

ffmpeg-mt is also worth a shot, it was slightly faster but still not perfect with all files.

Thanks for the quick reply but I think that isn't a cpu problem, I'm already using the codec coreavc, I tried to launch and edit that script but nothing

you see the dvd with no problems of rows?

you can monitor the temp with the acer_ec.pl script, like
sudo watch -n 2 'echo Temp: $[$(./acer_ec.pl ?= 58 | cut -f 3 -d" ")] C'

http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/ … Controller
acer_ec.pl script link above

I got a permission denied but after doing this the temp shows now

sudo watch -n 2 'echo Temp: $[$(perl ./acer_ec.pl ?= 58 | cut -f 3 -d" ")] C'

Any way I can add it on kde 4.2 panel?:)
Thanks

dunno how to add it to panel, but if you want to use it without the perl command you need to 'chmod a+x' to make it executable.

I dunno if this has been answered yet, but if you're having trouble with graphics speed, I found that following this helped: http://perens.com/blog/2009/01/31/13/

It seemed to have fixed the MTRR on my HD based system and also fixed any graphics issues I've had with speeds.

This sounds interesting, but I'm no kernel hacker...:( If tera could include this on his kernel, that would be great!!!:D

Would this benefit the SSD version of the AA1 as well?

I have actually already included such a tweak on the latest release but I'm not sure did I use exactly the same values as on the blog post. This needs some experimenting! Sounds fun.

The appropriate config settings are (I believe after doing it through the menuconfig)
CONFIG_MTRR=y
CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER=y
CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=1
CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_SPARE_REG_NR_DEFAULT=1

Looking at the latest kernel26-one-dev in the AUR, all match except CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT is 0.

That's cool! I'm currently using your kernel atm...I like the blinking led on my wifi!!!:D

Btw, could you teach me what to do with your PKGBUILD to enable ntfs support or if there is another way? I'm willing to pay attention...:D Thanks
