<div>So, this is in the stable kernel now, but what userspace program do we need to actually park the heads?<br />

Yes the hdaps driver is in the 2.6.14 kernel, but support to park the heads quickly and freeze the disk queue (to prevent the heads from getting un-parked) is not. There is some disagreement into how that should be implemented.<br />
<br />
In other words, the hdaps driver for the moment is rather useless, unless you want to use it to play games.<br />

I head rumours that you can make SDL handle this like a joystick, e.g. for playing Neverball. Can anyone confirm or deny that? Thanx --[[User:Nomeata|Nomeata]] 01:16, 16 Nov 2005 (CET)<br />
<br />
Yes it is possible to use it as a joystick, as Tonko allready mentioned.<br />
/dev/input/jsX modprobe joydev<br />
<br />
Ozi<br />

Thanks, I didn't have the joydev module. Rebuilding... --[[User:129.13.186.1|129.13.186.1]] 15:30, 16 Nov 2005 (CET)<br />

Yeah, it's a pretty good party trick - set up the HDAPS joystick as xmame input. You can play Ms. Pac-man by tilting your laptop to make pac-man navigate the maze. You can imagine that the pac-man "rolls" downhill, just like those old wooden marble-puzzles that you see around. Heh, can actually clear a level or two.<br />
<br />
Marble madness was strangely unsatisfying though, and just didn't work well (probably due to the diagonal nature of the screen in that game).<br />

Anyone got the queue freezing patch running on 2.6.16? I'm going to try to manually merge it but didn't want to duplicate someone else's work.<br />

== I hawe a problem ==<br />
<br />
I tray to start working my IBM x40 with hdaps function but I can't make it right.<br />
<br />
The main problem is in a not hanging variables when I read<br />
/sys/devices/platform/hdaps/position<br />
<br />
==I also have this problem!==<br />
Hi, I also have this problem that on my X40 the device/platform/hdaps/position does not give the right response. It is simply constant (128,1).<br />
Does anyone have a clue? I use the suse kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default from suse10.1. the hdaps sources in that kernel are the same as in the original kernel.<br />
thanks in advance,<br />
----<br />
<br />
Does the HDAPS sensor work under Windows (as observed from actual disk parking, or the graphical animation)? <br />
Also, try loading [[tp_smapi]], it includes some patches for the hdaps driver. Does it help?<br />

HI Again,<br />
HDAPS does work under windows. When I had windows running and then reboot the machine, hdaps is running under suse10.1 also. If I, however, turn off the machine and restart it, then, hdaps does *not* work anymore.<br />
I remember that with suse 10.0 and the separate module, hdaps did work.<br />
HDAPS now works with tp_smapi as suggested above.<br />
Still, where does the problem derive from?</div>Vok33https://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:HDAPS&diff=22682Talk:HDAPS2006-06-10T18:12:50Z<p>Vok33: </p>

I was not able to get tp_smapi to run, it does not compile on the fly (while other modules usually do...) :-/<br />
I am surprised that noone else has this problem...</div>Vok33https://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:HDAPS&diff=22671Talk:HDAPS2006-06-08T13:26:26Z<p>Vok33: </p>
