[SOLVED] Help needed with ACPI accelerometer - Acer Iconia Tab W501

Hi,
I am trying to get the accelerometer working on my Acer Iconia Tab W501
In windows, it reported as a BMA150 device, so I have that driver loading on boot.
After months of googling and making a mess in /sys, I still have not got the device working. I was working under the assumption that the device hangs off the i2c bus, but a "lucky google" today uncovered that it is showing up through acpi - acpid is present in my daemons array of rc.conf and the kernel module acer_wmi is also loaded.
The device is certainly sending signals to the kernel. Upon boot, dmesg ends up as follows:
[ 11.689709] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 12.108374] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

[ 22.459133] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
Now, if I rotate the device, and run dmesg again, I have the following:
[ 1255.189705] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1
[ 1257.363688] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1

acpi -V does not show the device:

nor is it configured on boot - dmesg | grep ACPI:

Yet, running acpi_listen generates the following when the tablet is rotated:
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
So, it would seem the device is working and sending data to the kernel/drivers, it appears some config is needed to get it properly recognised and an entry in /dev generated.
Really hoping there is an acpi expert around who may be able to help me get the device properly recognised and configures, ideally, as a /dev/input/js*
Cheers.

There is no need to patch the kernel anymore as current kernels have the acer wmi accelerometer patch merged.
Ensure you have the kernel module acer_wmi loading and then the events should be propogated. acpi_listen should show the events.
Using the code from here: http://www.jezra.net/blog/Python_Joysti … ng_Gobject i have written a little daemon that monitors the accelerometer and automatically rotates the screen based on it's position.
Cheers.
[EDIT] Being a laptop, I am guessing the accelerometer is possibly on the hard drive?? used for shock protection?? So if that is the case, I am not sure you will be able to utilise it in the same way as a tablet's accelerometer. There are articles on the web for setting up hard drive accelerometers in linux. The other consideration you need is that the accelerometer may not be on acpi. It could be on the i2c bus (commonly where sensors such as fan speed, core temps etc are located), in which case you will need the i2c driver to get the accelerometer events recognised in the kernel (ensure i2c kernel modules are loaded). So check exactly how the kernel detects the accelerometer, is it on acpi or the i2c bus?[/EDIT]

[Solved] help needed with wireless setup (ralink 2860 driver)

Hi,
I'm new to Arch so please be gentle ;-)
I recently upgraded hoping to find improved support for my wireless. I now find that the kernel recognises and loads the appropriate module:
[root@akoya ~]# uname -a
Linux akoya 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 12:47:56 UTC 2009 i686 Pentium(R)
[root@akoya ~]# lspci | grep Net
05:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2860
[root@akoya ~]# lsmod | grep 2860
rt2860sta 514808 1
I checked over the kernel source and the rt2680sta module is the code from ralink cleaned up for the 2.6.29 kernel. (I tried building the ralink release but it needs patching for 2.6.29)
However getting the thing to connect using WPA is another thing altogether
[root@akoya ~]# ifconfig ra0 up
[root@akoya ~]# wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i ra0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[root@akoya ~]# dhcpcd ra0
ra0: dhcpcd 4.0.12 starting
ra0: waiting for carrier
ra0: timed out
I'm not even sure if iwconfig is communicating with this driver (though I can find my router using "iwlist ra0 scan"):
[root@akoya ~]# iwconfig ra0 essid "sodor"
[root@akoya ~]# iwconfig
ra0 RT2860 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT2860STA"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:21:91:FE:DA:97
And if I try to configure using wicd I see the following log when trying to connect to the wireless:
2009/04/17 01:16:43 :: Connecting to wireless network sodor

It is driving me crazy being tied to a cable so I'd really like to get this working... but I'm really not sure what to try. Do I need to rebuild wpa_supplicant? If so is there a package-based way of doing that in arch?
Thanks in advance.

OK... to answer my own questions ...
two questions:
1. Does this mean support for the ralink driver is included by default or *not* included by default?
It seems it means *not*
2. If I uncomment this line then makepkg refuses to build the package because the config file's md5 is no longer valid. How then am I *meant* to make modifications to the build configuration?
right or wrong I used makepkg -g to generate checksums for my modified config file and pasted these into PKGBUILD. It then builds happily. After installing I can run wpa_supplicant with no args and confirm ralink is in the list of drivers. Excellent. But still no success.
Two things I have noticed:
1. wicd places quotes "" around my pre-shared key. If I run wpa_supplicant from the command line and use the conf file created by wicd it reports the PSK as being unparsable. If I remove the quotes then the file is parsed correctly.
2. It doesn't solve my problem :-(

[SOLVED] Help needed with suspend2ram with acpid lid script

Hello
I'm hoping someone can help with this, I'm obviously configuing something incorrectly.
I wish to have my machine suspend to ram upon closing the lid, which I've managed to acomplish with pm-utils and acpid.
Here's my lm-lid.sh from /etc/acpi/actions:
#! /bin/sh
# lid button pressed/released event handler
#/usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
As you can see; I have commented out the penultimate line, this is what was present in the file as default, this didn't cause the machine to do anything, so I added the bottom line to call pm-suspend.
My machine suspends fine, however, upon waking again, it resumes for about 3 seconds, then suspends again... after which it wakes up fine.
So esentially I have to wake it up twice.
I'm sure it's probably something stupid I'm doing, I'd just appreciate any words on this that may help!

[SOLVED] Help needed with iptables rule with unusual setup

Hi I recently setup hostapd on my netbook so I could share a wireless network with my phone and I'm having trouble because my netbook is also hosting a Jetty sever (Subsonic media streamer).
My setup is as follows
[CABLE MODEM]===[WIRED ROUTER]=====[NETBOOK] ))))) [PHONE]
The wired router provides the DHCP server.
On my netbook I created a (br0) bridge between eth0 and wlan0 and started hostapd. That all works fine when I'm not trying to host my Jetty server on my netbook.
The netbook has the IP 192.168.0.8
The phone has the IP 192.168.0.6
I do not want to give the Jetty server root permissions just so it can run on port 80. So instead I start it instead on port 4040 and then use a iptables rule to redirect connections to port 80 to port 4040.
Before I setup hostapd on machine I used to use the following.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4040
However when I'm using hostapd and try to access websites on my phone its web browser is ALWAYS REDIRECTED to my jetty server. I'm not really surprised at this as the rule I mentioned above is for any destination or any source.
I tried this rule:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d localhost -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4040
This didn't work. On my phone I could access websites as expected but nobody (tried external from network and internally) could access the jetty server on port 80. Does anyone know why this rule doesn't work?
I tried this rule:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING \! -s 192.168.0.6 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4040
This rule worked (Redirect port 4040 connections to port 80 if the connection isn't from my phone). But this is NOT very good at all as it means I would need a separate rule for every wireless device that connected to my netbook (via hostapd). Also if the IP address of my phone ever changes this rule becomes useless too!
Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well looks like I fixed my own problem.
I added a LOG target in the PREROUTING chain like so
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-prefix 'cheesy-redirect'
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80
When I looked at /var/logs/everything I noticed this.
dan-netbook kernel: cheesy-redirectIN=br0 OUT= PHYSIN=eth0 MAC=00:26:18:73:ea:28:00:09:5b:5d:0a:33:08:00 SRC=178.102.41.92 DST=192.168.0.3 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=46 ID=51411 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=48219 DPT=80 WINDOW=49640 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
The destination is 192.168.0.3 ! Which is very very weird. This the IP address I had told my router to give my eth0 card in the past when I wasn't using a network bridge (br0). I was connected to the network using 192.168.0.8 on br0. The eth0 interface wasn't assigned an IP address.
192.168.0.3 was also the IP address I setup for static port forwarding (which I forgot about) so when I accessed my jetty server from outside my network all packets would of been forwarded to 192.168.0.3
I should never of received those packets as I was 192.168.0.8 not 192.168.0.3 at the time of logging so how I even received these packets is a mystery to me. Maybe the router software is buggy
Fixing was pretty straight forward I changed the port forward to go to 192.168.0.8 and then tried connecting to the jetty server externally and noted in the log
cheesy-redirectIN=br0 OUT= PHYSIN=eth0 MAC=00:25:d3:46:4d:0d:00:09:5b:5d:0a:33:08:00 SRC=178.102.41.92 DST=192.168.0.8 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=46 ID=65326 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=33597 DPT=80 WINDOW=49640 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
So the correct redirect rule is
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -d 192.168.0.8 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80
which works nicely
One last question though. Does anyone know how I can use a hostname rather than 192.168.0.8 which points to whatever the IP address of br0 is set to? localhost points to 127.0.0.1 so that doesn't work.

[Solved] Help needed with getting fonts antialiased.

Greetings. I'm in the process of installingArch and I must be missing something as fonts just aren't antialiasing. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using the Fonts guide on the wiki. Here's the steps I did:
pacman -Rd libxft
yaourt -S fontconfig-lcd cairo-lcd
pacman -S libxft-lcd
Freetype is installed and I linked what I could to /etc/fonts/conf.d/:
10-autohint.conf 40-nonlatin.conf 65-nonlatin.conf
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf 45-latin.conf 69-unifont.conf
20-fix-globaladvance.conf 49-sansserif.conf 70-no-bitmaps.conf

30-metric-aliases.conf 60-latin.conf README
30-urw-aliases.conf 65-fonts-persian.conf
I've tried changing settings in the KDE control center from "System Settings" to Enabled, started a new app. But no luck. I've created a basic ~/.fonts.conf that has antialiasing and hinting, logging out and logging in again to no avail. What got me was that fontconfig didn't install a 10-antialias.conf:
10-autohint.conf 25-unhint-nonlatin.conf 60-latin.conf
10-no-sub-pixel.conf 29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf 65-fonts-persian.conf
10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf 30-metric-aliases.conf 65-khmer.conf

10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf 40-nonlatin.conf 69-unifont.conf
10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf 45-latin.conf 70-no-bitmaps.conf
10-unhinted.conf 49-sansserif.conf 70-yes-bitmaps.conf
20-fix-globaladvance.conf 50-user.conf 80-delicious.conf
20-unhint-small-vera.conf 51-local.conf 90-synthetic.conf
Is this the problem? Obviously I'm missing a step here. Any ideas, what do I need to do?

Dallied through the thread and didn't find anything. No luck thus far. Looks like this is a system-wide problem as KDM in not antialiasing. Change to a new ~/.fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

Have you tryed Google ? really.. your question is inrelevant. No need to reply indeed.
Why do you come here asking this question anyway ? is it becouse you have a MSI gfx card ? and the adapter has nothing to do with this ?
You think you can come in here yelling.. thinking we have to put up with it and accept your style of posting. This is not a MSI tech center.. it's a user to user center.. Your question has nothing to do with MSI relavant things anyway's.
Google = your friend.

once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Doesn't really help either of us very much but I'm also having the same problem with Elements 5. I downloaded the program so I don't have disks to reinstall. And it seems from the other reply that Adobe has given up with the "old program," which incidentally was working fine until two days ago. Maybe I'll have to think about PSE9!

Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
Advise please thanks in advance
