Installing Debian Lenny on a ThinkPad T61

2007-08-17T22:17:59Z

Ajbarr: /* Intel 965GM */ quirk for 965 TVout was added to xf86-video-intel 2.1.1

== Hardware ==

ThinkPad T61 7663-13G

== Overview ==

== Kernel Configuration ==
* Version: 2.6.22

=== SATA Issues ===
Currently, SATA mode is set to "Compatibility" in the BIOS and I'm using the ATA_PIIX driver, which finds both the hard and the cdrom drive. In AHCI mode, the cdrom is not found. I haven't found any information on that, yet.

Running in the AHCI mode worked for me - the hard drive showed up as /dev/sda and the cdrom as /dev/hda. K3b finds it and uses it fine.

=== IRQ Issues ===
Occasionally, I get messages like
<pre>
irq 23: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
[<c>] __report_bad_irq+0x24/0x80
[<c0156b11>] note_interrupt+0x251/0x290
[<c0155d65>] handle_IRQ_event+0x25/0x50
[<c015725b>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xbb/0xf0
[<c0106bfb>] do_IRQ+0x3b/0x70
[<c0104b53>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28
[<f>] acpi_processor_idle+0x21e/0x3e2 [processor]
[<f>] acpi_processor_idle+0x0/0x3e2 [processor]
[<c>] cpu_idle+0x84/0xe0
[<c0387a3f>] start_kernel+0x2ef/0x370
[<c03871f0>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x260
=======================
handlers:
[<f888b530>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x60 [usbcore])
Disabling IRQ #23
</pre>

Unfortunately, adding irqpoll to the boot command line only leads to frequent losses of Ethernet connectivity.

==== Temporary Workaround ====
When the message appears, USB devices will start to behave weird (USB keyboards & mice lag etc). Unloading and loading ehci-hcd fixes this problem, for now.

==== Temporary Workaround 2 ====
Adding noirqdebug to the kernel commandline at least removes the messages. Let's hope for a BIOS update from Lenovo.

=== Custom Patches ===
ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.15-20070723 ([http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/]). With the latest version, brightness control works under X11.

== Sound: AD1984 ==
I checked out both alsa-driver and alsa-kernel from the repositories ([http://www.alsa-project.org/download.php]) and built the modules for my kernel. After installation, sound (both headphone jack & internal speakers) works just fine. Haven't checked the MIC yet.

== Graphics: ==
===NVidia Quadro NVS 140M ===
* Driver: nvidia
* Version: 100.14.11

The Debian packages work just fine. There seem to be some (known) issues with framebuffers console. OpenGL applications and games work just fine, Darwinia ([http://darwinia.co.uk Darwinia] and Defcon ([http://www.everybody-dies.com]) run smoothly at 1440x900.

I installed the drivers using ENVY. It worked, just download the latest package at http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html, and run it, the driver's installation it's quite easy.

==== Problems ====
With 100.14.09 and RenderAccel/Compositing, I occasionally got hard locks after a couple of minutes, not even SysRq can reboot the machine. Only the NumLock LED is blinking, and no suspicious entries are in the logs. With 100.14.11 and no RenderAccel, the lockups are less frequently. I'm still trying to figure out which configuration makes them go away.

* I've tried to pci=nommcconf on the kernel commandline, didn't help.

===Intel 965GM===
* Driver: intel

For versions of the intel driver earlier than 2.1.1, the following is required for proper display scaling:

<pre>
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 332 207
EndSection
</pre>

This bug was fixed in xf86-video-intel 2.1.1.

== WiFi: Intel 4965AGN ==
* Driver: iwlwifi
* Version: 0.0.34

Since mac80211 is already a part of 2.6.22, only the [http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi iwlwifi module] needs to be compiled. Following the instructions in the source package was sufficient. The module loads & finds some hardware and I can successfully scan for networks. Connecting to our local WiFi access point using WPA works just fine.

== WiFi: ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ (Atheros) ==

Using madwifi which is very easy or downloading the modules from the page and usig ndviswrapper(not recommended, uncharted waters). Just add
"deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free"
"deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free"
to the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and;

then as root:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install madwifi-source
# apt-get install madwifi-tools
# m-a prepare
# m-a a-i madwifi

then its all done, worked for me. For more information http://madwifi.org/

== Bluetooth ==
My Logitech Bluetooth mouse works.

== Fingerprint Sensor ==
Works with [http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net ThinkFinger].

Ajbarr: debian repo is gone

=Who I Am & Why you should care=

My name is Andrew Barr and I maintain the following ThinkPad bits for Debian/Ubuntu:

* [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/projects/khdapsmon khdapsmon] -- KDE system tray applet that I wrote to replicate the basic functionality of the Windows HDAPS monitor.

I can be reached at username andrew.james.barr on Google's Gmail if something is wrong with one of the things listed above.

=Latest News=

===2006.04.16===

Happy Easter! at my ThinkPad Debian repository, there are a few new packages:

* gnome-hdaps-applet -- GNOME equivilant of my khdapsmon.
* kernel-patch-tpsmapi
* tpsmapi-utils -- init script for tp_smapi.

Also the hdapsd daemon has a new version.

===2007.01.19===

Please don't use my Debian repo any more. Most of the software there is terribly out of date and now Apache returns '410 Gone' for that URI.

How to protect the harddisk through APS

2007-01-19T16:32:41Z

Ajbarr: debian repo is gone

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page tells you how to make the [[Active Protection System]] work under Linux to protect your harddrive from damage in case of a notebook drop or other kind of impact while it is running.

Specific instructions for {{Fedora}} can be found [[Installing_Fedora_Core_5_on_a_ThinkPad_X41_Tablet#Harddrive_Active_Protection_System_.28HDAPS.29|here]].

== How APS works in Linux ==
APS in Linux consists of four components on the software side:
* The [[HDAPS]] driver (included in recent kernels). It exports a sysfs interface providing the acceleration values.
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>hdaps_protect</tt>] disk protection kernel patch, which exports a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>hdapsd</tt>] disk protection userspace daemon. It monitors the acceleration values through the HDAPS interface and automatically initiates disk protection through the hdaps_protect interface - given that the movement exceeds a user specified threshold.
* Optional: the [http://roy.marples.name/node/269 khdapsmonitor KDE System Tray applet] or [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/projects/khdapsmon/ <tt>khdapsmon</tt> KDE System Tray applet] or the [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>gnome-hdaps-applet</tt>]. These applets provide a visual indication of the disk protection status and also a graphical interface for adjusting configuration options for <tt>hdapsd</tt>.
|}

==Installation==
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver found in recent kernels is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface.

In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

* Download and build the latest hdaps_protect disk protection kernel patches.
* Enable the drivers in the kernel (requires kernel rebuild).
* Download, build and configure the hdapsd userspace daemon.
* Download and build one of the applets to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

Tp smapi

2007-01-19T16:31:16Z

Ajbarr: debian repo is gone

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad hardware/firmware via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the main implemented functionality is control of battery charging and extended battery status. The underlfying hardware interfaces are [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] and direct access to the embedded controller.

For older ThinkPad models, see also [[tpctl]].

{{WARN|This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access. It thus cannot be guaranteed to work and could conceivably damage your computer (though so far no incidents have been reported).}}

|}

===Features===
*Battery charge/discharge control
*Battery status information
*PCI bus power saving control

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* You need to [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 download] only the <tt>tp_smapi</tt> package. Versions containing <tt>-test</tt> are experimental, others are stable.

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

For testing, you can simply compile and load the driver within the current
working directory:
:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.30.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.30}}
:{{cmdroot|make load}}

To compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or, to compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> and new <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=app-laptop;name=tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, do this first:

* Configure <tt>hdaps</tt> as module in your kernel
* Add the <tt>HDAPS</tt> use flag in {{path|/etc/make.conf}}
* {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}}

Then:

* {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} (or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manually, as above)
* {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}
* {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

Then reboot, or run:
* {{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}
* {{cmdroot|modprobe hdaps}}

===Battery charge control features===
To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion ad Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To unconditionally inhibit charging for 17 minutes:
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use a an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charge inhibiting:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging even if connected to AC, use one of these:
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]].}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/state # idle/charging/discharging
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/cycle_count

</pre>

The raw status data is also available, including some fields not listed above (in case you can figure them out):

:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/dump}}

In all of the above, replace <tt>BAT0</tt> with <tt>BAT1</tt> to address the 2nd battery.

Note that the battery status readout conflicts with the stock [[HDAPS|hdaps]] driver, so if you use <tt>hdaps</tt> you will need to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> using {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Conflict_with_hdaps|Conflict with hdaps]] below).

On [[ACPI]]-enabled systems, most of above information is also available through the files under {{path|/proc/acpi/battery}}. However, the ACPI interface does not include the instantaneous power and cycle count readouts, and does not work well when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|hotswapping UltraBay batteries]].

===Other features===

This controls the "PCI bus power saving" option in the BIOS, and takes effect at the next boot. On a ThinkPad {{T43}} turning this off increases idle power consumption by about 350mW. Out-of-the-box default is 1.
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/enable_pci_power_saving_on_boot
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/enable_pci_power_saving_on_boot # on
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/enable_pci_power_saving_on_boot # off

There is also [[sysfs]] attribute for making direct SMAPI requests to the SM BIOS firmware. Don't touch it unless you really know what you're doing. Example:
# echo '211a 100 0 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request; cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
211a 34b b2 0 0 0 'OK'
The 4b" in the 2nd value, converted to decimal is 75: the current charge stop threshold.

===Conflict with <tt>hdaps</tt>===
The extended battery status function conflicts with the [[HDAPS|hdaps]] kernel module (they use the same IO ports). The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> package includes a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> to make it compatible with <tt>tp_smapi</tt>, and also to fix many problems in the original driver.

To build the patched version, simply append the <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> parameter to the <tt>make</tt> command, for example: {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Installation|Installation]] above).

If you don't do that, you will not be able tp load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (and its support module <tt>tp_base</tt>) when <tt>hdaps</tt> is loaded, and vice versa. You can use <tt>rmmod</tt> to switch between these modules.

Note that some of the battery status is also visible through ACPI ({{path|/proc/acpi/battery/*}}), independently of <tt>tp_smapi</tt>.

Please update the above and report your experience on the [[Talk:tp_smapi|discussion]] page. If the module loads but gives a "<tt>not supported</tt>" or "<tt>not implementeded</tt>" when you try to use some specific file in {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}, please report the <tt>dmesg</tt> output and whether the corresponding functionality is available under Windows - maybe your ThinkPad just can't do that.

While at it, you may also want to add your laptop to the [[list of DMI IDs]].

===Tools using this driver===

The driver's interface can be accessed directly through the files under {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi}}, or via the following tools:
* [[KThinkBat]] - display battery status on the KDE <tt>kicker</tt> panel.
* [[gkrellm-ThinkBat]] - battery status plugin for Gkrellm2

==Adding entries==

Click the "Edit" link on the appropriate series above and add an entry of the following form:
:<tt>!-</tt>
:<tt>| </tt>description of your model
:data line 1
:data line 2

where the two data lines are genereated by the following <tt>bash</tt> command:

<pre>
for X in system-{manufacturer,product-name,version} \
baseboard-{manufacturer,product-name,version} \
chassis-{manufacturer,version} bios-{vendor,version,release-date}; do \
echo -n "|| `sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode -s $X` "; done; \
sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode | perl -0777 -ne \
'm/\n(.*).\n.*\n(.*Embedded Cont.*)\n/i; print "\n|| <nowiki><</nowiki>nowiki>$1$2</nowiki> ||\n"'
</pre>

While at it, you may also want to test [[tp_smapi]] and update its [[tp_smapi#Model-specific_status|model-specific status table]].

How to protect the harddisk through APS

2006-04-16T16:57:42Z

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page tells you how to make the [[Active Protection System]] work under Linux to protect your harddrive from damage in case of a notebook drop or other kind of impact while it is running.
|}

== How APS works in Linux ==
APS in Linux consists of four components on the software side:
* The [[HDAPS]] driver (included in recent kernels). (As a modul if you want to use tp_smapi (Gentoo-Linux))
* The <tt>hdaps_protect</tt> disk protection kernel patch (available [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdaps_protect.20060118.patch for kernel 2.6.15] and [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdaps_protect.20060409.patch for kernel 2.6.16]; see [[HDAPS#Disk_head_parking|here]] for other versions)
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdapsd-20060409.c <tt>hdapsd</tt>] disk protection userspace daemon
* Optional: the [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/projects/khdapsmon/ <tt>khdapsmon</tt> KDE System Tray applet] or the [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/gnome-hdaps-applet-20060120.tar.gz <tt>gnome-hdaps-applet</tt>].

The [[HDAPS|HDAPS driver]] exports a sysfs interface providing the acceleration values.

The <tt>hdaps_protect</tt> kernel patch exports a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.

The <tt>hdapsd</tt> userspace daemon monitors the acceleration values through the HDAPS interface and automatically initiates disk protection through the hdaps_protect interface - given that the movement exceeds a user specified threshold.

The optional KDE/GNOME applets provide a visual indication of the disk protection status and also a graphical interface for adjusting configuration options for <tt>hdapsd</tt>.

==Installation==
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver found in recent kernels is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface.
{{NOTE|1=If you use [[tp_smapi]], remember to include the option <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> when [[Tp_smapi#Installation|installing tp_smapi]].}}
In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

* Download and build the latest hdaps_protect disk protection kernel patches.
* Enable the drivers in the kernel (requires kernel rebuild).
* Download, build and configure the hdapsd userspace daemon.
* Download and build one of the applets to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

=== Adding kernel support ===
A kernel patch is required for disk head parking and queue freezing.

==== Manually patching and compiling a kernel ====
As root, do:
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src/linux}}
:{{cmdroot|patch -p1 < ~/hdaps_protect.20060409.patch}}
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}
:{{cmdroot|make}}
:{{cmdroot|make modules_install}}

=== Installing hdapsd ===
==== Manual compilation from source ====
* Download the <tt>hdapsd</tt> sources (see above)
* Compile using {{cmdroot|gcc -o hdapsd hdapsd-*.c}}
* Run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd -d sda -s 12 -a}} (replace <tt>sda</tt> with your hard disk device; run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd}} without arguments for help)

==== Fedora Core ====
{{Fedora}} users can try the instructions [[Installing_Fedora_Core_5_on_a_ThinkPad_X41_Tablet#Harddrive_Active_Protection_System_.28HDAPS.29|here]]

==== Gentoo ====
{{Gentoo}} users can try the ebuild attached to [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119845 gentoo bug 119845].

*Add hdapsd support in your kernel: device drivers -> hardware monitoring -> ... (you need it as modul if you want to use tp_smapi and hdaps, see tp_smapi topic)
*Download the ebuild, use same ebuild date as the kernel-patch.
*Make known the portage an extern ebuild path and add the following line to {{path|/etc/make.conf}}:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" (or any other location)
*Create directory {{path|/usr/local/portage}} and {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/}}
*Copy the downloaded ebuild to {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop}} ({{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd}} should now exists)

*Optional: Copy source file to portage distfiles (if no internet connection is available):
:{{cmdroot|cp hdapsd-20060326.c /usr/portage/distfiles}}
*Accept the x86 keyword for this package: {{cmdroot|echo "app-laptop/hdapsd ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords}}
*Install hdapsd with: {{cmdroot|emerge hdapsd}}.
*Edit {{path|/etc/conf.d/hdapsd}} (change your harddrive if neccessary: my is sda, and change the value from 5, 5 is to sensitive, 12 is a good value in my opinion).
*start deamon with: {{cmdroot|/etc/init.d/hdapsd start}}
*Optional: add to default runlevel: {{cmdroot|rc-update add hdapsd default, rc-update add hdapsd battery}}
Write an eMail to abartel[Ã¤d]htwm.de, if you want to get my hdapsd-20060326.ebuild and please upload it.

Ajbarr: typo

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad's [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] functionality via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the implemented functionality is control of battery charging, extended battery status and control of CD/DVD speed (disabled by default).

For old ThinkPad models, see also [[tpctl]].

{{WARN|This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access. It thus cannot be guaranteed to work, and may cause arbitrary damage (though so far none was reported).}}

|}

===Features===
*Battery charge/discharge control
*Battery status information
*Optical drive speed control (disabled by default)

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* You need to download only the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tp_smapi kernel module].

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

For testing, you can simply compile and load the driver within the current
working directory:
:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.19.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.19}}
:{{cmdroot|make load}}

To compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or, to compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a compatibility fixes to <tt>hdaps</tt> and <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=app-laptop;name=tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

To install:
:{{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}}

To load:
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, install using
:{{cmdroot|1=USE="hdaps" emerge tp_smapi}}
and, before loading as above, run {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}} or reboot to unload the old (unpatched) <tt>hdaps</tt> kernel module.

Info:

1.) Use [[HDAPS]] driver as module in your kernel

2.) add hdaps use flag in /etc/make.conf

3.) {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manual (see above)

4.) {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

5.) {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

====Installation on Debian/Ubuntu====

<pre>
deb http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./
deb-src http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./
</pre>

This repository has kernel-patch packages for tp_smapi. This will not only integrate tp_smapi into your kernel build but will patch the hdaps driver for you. It is available for kernel 2.6.15 and later. Also available is an init script to automatically set SMAPI paramaters at boot--this is in package tpsmapi-utils. Please report any bugs to [[User:Ajbarr]]

===Battery charge control features===
To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion ad Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To unconditionally inhibit charging for 17 minutes:
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use a an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charge inhibiting:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging even if connected to AC, use one of these:
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]].}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/state # idle/charging/discharging
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/cycle_count
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_now # instantaneous current
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_now # instantaneous power
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/last_full_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacturer
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/model
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/barcoding
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/chemistry
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/serial
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacture_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/first_use_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/ac_connected
</pre>

The raw status data is also available, including some fields not listed above (in case you can figure them out):

:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/dump}}

In all of the above, replace <tt>BAT0</tt> with <tt>BAT1</tt> to address the 2nd battery.

Note that the battery status readout conflicts with the stock [[HDAPS|hdaps]] driver, so if you use <tt>hdaps</tt> you will need to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> using {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Conflict_with_hdaps|Conflict with hdaps]] below).

On [[ACPI]]-enabled systems, most of above information is also available through the files under {{path|/proc/acpi/battery}}. However, the ACPI interface does not include the instantaneous power and cycle count readouts, and does not work well when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|hotswapping UltraBay batteries]].

===Optical drive control features===

To control the speed of the optical drive:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # slow}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # medium}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # fast}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed}}

=====Enabling this feature=====
Changing the drive speed when a disc is being accessed will hang your computer. This feature is thus '''disabled by default''', but can be enabled using by adding <tt>#define PROVIDE_CD_SPEED</tt> at the top of <tt>tp_smapi.c</tt>. The safe way to set the drive speed is using <tt>hdparm -E num</tt> or <tt>eject -x num</tt> for CD-ROM, and <tt>speedcontrol -x num</tt> (sourcecode [http://safari.iki.fi/speedcontrol.c here]) for DVD. For kernels older than 2.6.15, this may require the [[Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_SMART_support libata pass-through|libata pass-through patch]].

===Features not yet implemented===
Other things that can be controlled through SMAPI, but are not supported in this version of the driver, include PCI bus power saving, CPU power saving control and fan control (the latter is available through an [[How to control fan speed|alternative method]]). See the included README file for more information.

===Conflict with <tt>hdaps</tt>===
The extended battery status function conflicts with the [[HDAPS|hdaps]] kernel module (they use the same IO ports).

The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> package includes a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> to make it compatible with <tt>tp_smapi</tt>. To build the patched version, append the <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> parameter to the <tt>make</tt> command, for example: {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Installation|Installation]] above).

If you don't do that, you will not be able tp load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (and its support module <tt>tp_base</tt>) when <tt>hdaps</tt> is loaded, and vice versa. You can use <tt>rmmod</tt> to switch between these modules.

Note that some of the battery status is also visible through ACPI ({{path|/proc/acpi/battery/*}}), independently of <tt>tp_smapi</tt>.

Please update the above and report your experience on the [[Talk:tp_smapi|discussion]] page. If the module loads but gives a "<tt>not supported</tt>" or "<tt>not implementeded</tt>" when you try to use some specific file in {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}, please report the <tt>dmesg</tt> output and whether the corresponding functionality is available under Windows - maybe your ThinkPad just can't do that.

Ajbarr: Debian packages for tp_smapi

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad's [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] functionality via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the implemented functionality is control of battery charging, extended battery status and control of CD/DVD speed (disabled by default).

For old ThinkPad models, see also [[tpctl]].

{{WARN|This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access. It thus cannot be guaranteed to work, and may cause arbitrary damage (though so far none was reported).}}

|}

===Features===
*Battery charge/discharge control
*Battery status information
*Optical drive speed control (disabled by default)

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* You need to download only the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1212&package_id=171579 tp_smapi kernel module].

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

For testing, you can simply compile and load the driver within the current
working directory:
:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.19.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.19}}
:{{cmdroot|make load}}

To compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or, to compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a compatibility fixes to <tt>hdaps</tt> and <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=app-laptop;name=tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

To install:
:{{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}}

To load:
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, install using
:{{cmdroot|1=USE="hdaps" emerge tp_smapi}}
and, before loading as above, run {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}} or reboot to unload the old (unpatched) <tt>hdaps</tt> kernel module.

Info:

1.) Use [[HDAPS]] driver as module in your kernel

2.) add hdaps use flag in /etc/make.conf

3.) {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manual (see above)

4.) {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

5.) {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

===Installation on Debian/Ubuntu===

<pre>
deb http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./
deb-src http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./

This repository has kernel-patch packages for tp_smapi. This will not only integrate tp_smapi into your kernel build but will patch the hdaps driver for you. It is available for kernel 2.6.15 and later. Also available is an init script to automatically set SMAPI paramaters at boot--this is in package tpsmapi-utils. Please report any bugs to [[User:Ajbarr]]

===Battery charge control features===
To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion ad Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To unconditionally inhibit charging for 17 minutes:
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use a an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charge inhibiting:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging even if connected to AC, use one of these:
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]].}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed

===Optical drive control features===

To control the speed of the optical drive:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # slow}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # medium}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed # fast}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/cd_speed}}

===Features not yet implemented===
Other things that can be controlled through SMAPI, but are not supported in this version of the driver, include PCI bus power saving, CPU power saving control and fan control (the latter is available through an [[How to control fan speed|alternative method]]). See the included README file for more information.

How to protect the harddisk through APS

Ajbarr: Add HDAPS-related packages at Debian repo

This page tells you how to make the [[Active Protection System]] work under Linux to protect your harddrive from damage in case of a notebook drop or other kind of impact while it is running.
|}

== How APS works in Linux ==
APS in Linux consists of four components on the software side:
* The [[HDAPS]] driver (included in recent kernels). (As a modul if you want to use tp_smapi (Gentoo-Linux))
* The <tt>hdaps_protect</tt> disk protection kernel patch (available [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdaps_protect.20060118.patch for kernel 2.6.15] and [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdaps_protect.20060409.patch for kernel 2.6.16]; see [[HDAPS#Disk_head_parking|here]] for other versions)
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/hdapsd-20060409.c <tt>hdapsd</tt>] disk protection userspace daemon
* Optional: the [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/projects/khdapsmon/ <tt>khdapsmon</tt> KDE System Tray applet] or the [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/gnome-hdaps-applet-20060120.tar.gz <tt>gnome-hdaps-applet</tt>].

The [[HDAPS|HDAPS driver]] exports a sysfs interface providing the acceleration values.

The <tt>hdaps_protect</tt> kernel patch exports a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.

The <tt>hdapsd</tt> userspace daemon monitors the acceleration values through the HDAPS interface and automatically initiates disk protection through the hdaps_protect interface - given that the movement exceeds a user specified threshold.

The optional KDE/GNOME applets provide a visual indication of the disk protection status and also a graphical interface for adjusting configuration options for <tt>hdapsd</tt>.

==Installation==
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver found in recent kernels is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface.
{{NOTE|1=If you use [[tp_smapi]], remember to include the option <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> when [[Tp_smapi#Installation|installing tp_smapi]].}}
In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

* Download and build the latest hdaps_protect disk protection kernel patches.
* Enable the drivers in the kernel (requires kernel rebuild).
* Download, build and configure the hdapsd userspace daemon.
* Download and build one of the applets to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

=== Adding kernel support ===
A kernel patch is required for disk head parking and queue freezing.

==== Manually patching and compiling a kernel ====
As root, do:
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src/linux}}
:{{cmdroot|patch -p1 < ~/hdaps_protect.20060409.patch}}
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}
:{{cmdroot|make}}
:{{cmdroot|make modules_install}}

=== Installing hdapsd ===
==== Manual compilation from source ====
* Download the <tt>hdapsd</tt> sources (see above)
* Compile using {{cmdroot|gcc -o hdapsd hdapsd-*.c}}
* Run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd -d sda -s 12 -a}} (replace <tt>sda</tt> with your hard disk device; run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd}} without arguments for help)

==== Fedora Core ====
{{Fedora}} users can try the instructions [[Installing_Fedora_Core_5_on_a_ThinkPad_X41_Tablet#Harddrive_Active_Protection_System_.28HDAPS.29|here]]

==== Gentoo ====
{{Gentoo}} users can try the ebuild attached to [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119845 gentoo bug 119845].

*Add hdapsd support in your kernel: device drivers -> hardware monitoring -> ... (you need it as modul if you want to use tp_smapi and hdaps, see tp_smapi topic)
*Download the ebuild, use same ebuild date as the kernel-patch.
*Make known the portage an extern ebuild path and add the following line to {{path|/etc/make.conf}}:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" (or any other location)
*Create directory {{path|/usr/local/portage}} and {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/}}
*Copy the downloaded ebuild to {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop}} ({{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd}} should now exists)
*Make portage known the new ebuild and creat digist with:
:{{cmdroot|ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd/hdapsd-20060326.ebuild digest}}
*Optional: Copy source file to portage distfiles (if no internet connection is available):
:{{cmdroot|cp hdapsd-20060326.c /usr/portage/distfiles}}
*Accept the x86 keyword for this package: {{cmdroot|echo "app-laptop/hdapsd ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords}}
*Install hdapsd with: {{cmdroot|emerge hdapsd}}.
*Edit {{path|/etc/conf.d/hdapsd}} (change your harddrive if neccessary: my is sda, and change the value from 5, 5 is to sensitive, 12 is a good value in my opinion).
*start deamon with: {{cmdroot|/etc/init.d/hdapsd start}}
*Optional: add to default runlevel: {{cmdroot|rc-update add hdapsd default, rc-update add hdapsd battery}}
Write an eMail to abartel[Ã¤d]htwm.de, if you want to get my hdapsd-20060326.ebuild and please upload it.

ACPI sleep power drain test script

2006-03-28T18:15:35Z

Ajbarr: /proc/acpi/sleep is a legacy interface not supported on some kernels

The following script will suspend your notebook to ram and output some statistics about the power drain during suspend to {{path|/var/log/battery.log}}. The output will look something like this:

Di Jan 11 14:01:15 CET 2005
before: 41170 mWh
after: 41000 mWh
diff: -170 mWh
seconds: 1671 sec
result: -366 mW
Congratulations, your model seems NOT to be affected.

{{NOTE|This Script has some limitations:
*It is not totally reliable, e.g. on some (all?) R32 the values ACPI reports for the battery are wrong by factor 10. They are actually reported in cWh instead of mWh. The script assumes they are reported in mWh as on most ThinkPads - hence the power consumption appearce to be only a tenth of its actual value.
*The script assumes you have only one battery. If you have a second battery (for example, an UltraBay Slim battery), take it out for this test or change the BATTERY variable from "BAT0" to "BAT1". If you do the latter, you will get bogus results if the second battery is run down while sleeping.
*The usage threshold of 1000 mWh might be a bit a bit too tolerant. You can try lowering it to 500 to be sure.}}

Please save this script to a file, i.e. {{path|sleep.sh}}, make it executable ({{cmdroot|chmod +x sleep.sh}}) and execute it as root while your notebook is on battery. To get representative values you should leave the notebook suspended for at least 20 minutes.

Ajbarr:

So, this is in the stable kernel now, but what userspace program do we need to actually park the heads?
--[[User:MrStaticVoid|MrStaticVoid]] 01:26, 30 Oct 2005 (CEST)
----
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.

In other words, the hdaps driver for the moment is rather useless, unless you want to use it to play games.

--[[User:Tonko|Tonko]] 02:10, 30 Oct 2005 (CEST)

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)

Yes it is possible to use it as a joystick, as Tonko allready mentioned.

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

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.

Marble madness was strangely unsatisfying though, and just didn't work well (probably due to the diagonal nature of the screen in that game).

--[[User:gsmenden|gsmenden]] 20:10, 13 Jan 2006 (CEST)

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.

Hi,

i created a HOWTO page for the harddisk protection topic and moved your just provided information there: [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

[[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 04:19, 22 January 2006 (CET)

Hi, the reason I changed that patch location is that it messes up downloading the patch with wget. Perhaps you could do an HTTP redirect instead of a frame? I usually apply patches by doing a 'Copy Link Location' out of Firefox and then doing 'wget -O - http://domain.tld/path/to/patch.diff | patch -p1' and with your link I get an HTML page instead.

=== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ===
This is the Linux driver for monitoring the acceleratometer known as [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

The driver only enables reading of the acceleration data. It does '''not''' perform [[#Harddisk Protection|automatic disk head parking]]. But there are already some other useful [[#Applications|applications]] for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides.
|}

=== Features ===
*provides accelerometer values via sysfs
*provides a joystick type input device

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained.

=== Harddisk Protection ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

=== Input device support ===
It seems ([http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/22/217], [http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/11/22/129]) that (with kernels from 2.6.14?) the hdaps driver also exports a joystick type input device. (This hasn't been verifyed so far.)

== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ==
This is the Linux driver for the [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

=== Features ===
*prints accelerometer values
*uses userspace tool to park HD

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained. However, presently the driver only enables reading of the acceleration data; it does '''not''' perform automatic disk head parking. The latter feature is under development. But there are already some useful applications for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides. See below.

=== Disk protection howto ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

*1. Download and build the latest disk protection kernel patches. These patches export a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.
*2. Download and build the hdapsd userspace daemon. This monitors the accelerometer data provided by the hdaps kernel driver, and automatically protects the disk when movement exceeds a user specified threshold.
*3. Download and build the gnome panel applet to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

{{HINT|Debian source and sid binary packages for hdapsd and the disk protection patches (kernel-patch format) are available via APT access:

deb http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./
deb-src http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/debian/ ./
}}
The above components are still under development, but are known to work on a variety of thinkpad models. Additonal information and support is available through the hdaps mailing list.

HDAPS

Ajbarr: Shameless plug :)

== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ==
This is the Linux driver for the [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

=== Features ===
*prints accelerometer values
*uses userspace tool to park HD

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained. However, presently the driver only enables reading of the acceleration data; it does '''not''' perform automatic disk head parking. The latter feature is under development. But there are already some useful applications for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides. See below.

=== Disk protection howto ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

*1. Download and build the latest disk protection kernel patches. These patches export a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.
*2. Download and build the hdapsd userspace daemon. This monitors the accelerometer data provided by the hdaps kernel driver, and automatically protects the disk when movement exceeds a user specified threshold.
*3. Download and build the gnome panel applet to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

The above components are still under development, but are known to work on a variety of thinkpad models. Additonal information and support is available through the hdaps mailing list.

=== Applications ===
