[[Category:T42p]]</div>Cubichttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Problem_with_high_power_drain_in_ACPI_sleep&diff=1277Problem with high power drain in ACPI sleep2005-01-28T16:00:02Z<p>Cubic: /* Affected Models */</p>
<hr />
<div>Information about the problem of too high power drain in ACPI sleep mode.<br />
<br />
==Problem description==<br />
Several people realised that their ThinkPads eat up too much power while suspended to ram via ACPI. Compared to APM suspend to ram the power drain is experienced to be about 10 times as high, 2-5 Watts. This empties the battery within one or two days.<br />
<br />
==Affected Models==<br />
*Different symptoms have been reported for different models. In some models the origin of the power drain is obvious ([[Problem with LCD backlight remaining on during ACPI sleep|backlight on during suspend]]), in other models there is no obvious reason.<br />
*On some models/configurations the higher power drain couldn't even be realized or was at least significantly lower.<br />
*The T4x thinkpad series (T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p) suspends to ram just fine, and there are no components that are obviously left powered up. The ultrabay and network light is on, but that is the same under windows (but under APM sleep to RAM those lights are OFF).<br />
The following table gives an overview of the models suffering from the mysterious power drain. To find out about your model, you may use the following [[ACPI sleep power drain test script | script]]. It creates a file <tt>/var/log/battery.log</tt> which will tell you if you are affected or not.<br />

<br />
==Affected Operating Systems==<br />
<br />
*Linux, all flavours.<br />
*Windows, for some models as well (only when using non-IBM drivers).<br />
<br />
==Status==<br />
The cause of the problem is not really clear, yet.<br />
<br />
A faulty DSDT might be responsible for the phenomena. The thinkpad T4x DSDT has a few small bugs, none of which should cause the extra power drain. (Interesting to note: The DSDT from BIOS 3.13 (Nov 04) for the T42p compiles without bugs.)<br />
<br />
There is a interesting discussion taking place in the [http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 OSDL Bugzilla].<br />
<br />
Update: it seems that the most significant difference can be made by properly turning off the video chip.<br />
<br />
==Solutions==<br />
A proposed solution is to remove the CONFIG_PPC_PMAC condition for enabling D2 sleep in drivers/video/aty/radeon_pm.c as discussed in [http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 kernel bug 3022]. There you can also find patches doing this. The patches devide in unconditional ones like [http://carrot.hep.upenn.edu/~vbraun/kernel-T4x/i386/patch-2.6.11-rc2-radeonfb-D2.patch.bz2 this one for 2.6.11-rc2] and conditional ones. The conditional ones only do D2 on models where it has been reported to work, the unconditional ones force D2 sleep on every model and you might experience hangs on resume with those.<br />
<br />
For [[:Category:Fedora Core | Fedora Core]] there's are precompiled patched kernels (2.6.11-rc2 based) available:<br />
*[http://carrot.hep.upenn.edu/~vbraun/kernel-T4x/test/kernel-DANGEROUS-T4x-2.6.11-8.i386.rpm kernel with unconditional patch applied]<br />
*[http://carrot.hep.upenn.edu/~vbraun/kernel-T4x/test/kernel-T4x-2.6.11-8.i386.rpm kernel with conditional patch applied].<br />
<br />
If you try, please send the result (hang yes/no, battery drain yes/no) with the precise model number (for example, I have a IBM thinkpad T41 2379-DJU) to <tt>vbraun at physics dot upenn dot edu</tt>, it would be nice if your subject line would include "RADEONFB:" to make sure that I do not miss any emails.<br />
<br />
'''ATTENTION!'''<br /><br />
This solution enables doing suspend-to-D2 on non-PPC-machines, which is not tested at all and supposed to be the wrong thing to do!<br />
Be careful and have a look at [http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 the bugs discussion] before applying the patch.<br />

==Lithium-based batteries==<br />
<br />
*store them at about 40% charged state<br />
*never store them fully depleted/charged<br />
*keep them cool and dry, deeply frozen is best as long as it is dry<br />
*the battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges<br />
*avoid charging if the battery is nearly full<br />
*never expose your laptop and/or battery to excessive heat (car parked in sun)<br />
*take the battery/s out when running on AC<br />

How much is the speed gain versus the opensource drivers?<br />
<br />
=== Project Homepage / Availability ===<br />
http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html<br />
<br />
=== Status ===<br />
Current version: 8.8.25<br />
<br />
=== Problems & Help ===<br />
The following patch may be needed for kernels >= 2.6.10:<br />
[http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33798874 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33798874]<br />
<br />
For kernels >= 2.6.11-rc1 try the following patch:<br />
http://www.gehirn.org.uk/wiki/images/8.8.25-kernel-2.6.11+.patch<br />
<br />
If the ATI driver works only without the hardware acceleration, take into consideration that fglrx_dri.so was linked<br />
against libstdc++.so.5 which may not be present if your system uses gcc-3.4. To fix this, compile gcc-3.3.5 <br />
and copy libstdc++.so.5* to /usr/lib and update the dynamic linker cache.<br />

<hr />
<div>==APM==<br />
<br />
===general===<br />
You need to enable the APM Power Management support in the kernel and install the [[apmd]] to handle the events triggered by the kernel driver.<br />
The configuration for what to do at the different events is done in the proxy script which is usually found in /etc/apmd_proxy.<br />
See <tt>man apmd</tt> for further information on this.<br />
<br />
===Screen blanking (Standby)===<br />
Todo...<br />
<br />
===Suspend to RAM (Sleep)===<br />
Todo...<br />
<br />
===Suspend to disk (Hibernate)===<br />
The Phoenix BIOS allows you two ways to hibernate with APM: using a special partition or using a hibernation file on a dos type partition.<br />
<br />
====using a hibernation partition====<br />
The partition to be used for hibernation must be a primary partition that is at least as big as your laptop's memory including its video ram. First set the partition type of this partition to a0 (IBM Thinkpad hibernation) with fdisk, and then use [[tphdisk]] to write a hibernation file directly to this partition.<br />
<br />
Only follow these instructions, if you understand them. You will overwrite a partition on your hard disk and might loose valuable data - consider yourself warned. For example, assume that /dev/hda2 is the partition that is to be converted to a hibernation partition. Become root and type '''/sbin/fdisk /dev/hda'''. At the fdisk prompt type '''t''' to change the partition type, then type '''2''' to indicate that you want to change the type of partition 2, and then enter the partition type: '''a0'''. Now type '''w''' to write the partition table back to disk and exit. After that use [[tphdisk]] to initialize the hibernation partition. First estimate the size of your laptop's memory (main and video). For the sake of this example, let us assume that the main memory is 1024 MB and the video card has 128 MB of memory. Then the command '''tphdisk 1152 > /dev/hda2''' will initialize the hibernation partition. Note that this will only work if the partition is big enough. After a reboot, Fn+F12 will work as expected.<br />
<br />
I have successfully used this method on a T41 (2373GEU) that runs Fedora Core 3.<br />
<br />
====using a hibernation file on a dos partition====<br />
The partition to put the file on must be a dos or vfat partition. Fat32 formatted partitions have been reported successful as well as Fat16 formatted ones. The file is either created with phdisk.exe, if you happen to have a floppy drive and a bootable dos floppy disk that you can start it from.<br />
Under Linux [[tphdisk]] will do this job for you.<br />
<br />
Todo... (how to create the file, partition size)<br />
<br />
==ACPI==<br />
<br />
===general===<br />
Todo...<br />
<br />
===Screen blanking (Standby)===<br />
Make sure you have <br />
*Option "DPMS"<br />
in you XF86Config/xorg.conf.<br />
<br />
Running "xset +dpms" and then "xset xdpms force off" will turn off the backlight on a laptop screen. To force a screen off that is using a radeon chipset, install the package "radeontools."<br />
<br />
Todo...<br />
<br />
===Suspend to RAM (Sleep)===<br />
ACPI Sleep and suspend-to-ram with recent 2.6.x kernels usually works fine, too.<br />
<br />
But after a suspend-to-ram (using Linux 2.6.9) the display of the T42p (and probably of other Thinkpads, too) remains black. This can be fixed by adding <br />
"acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to the kernel boot parameter. However I experience some problems with the serial port of the port replicator<br />
after the wake up from ram.<br />
<br />
Todo...<br />
<br />
===Suspend to disk (Hibernate)===<br />
There are two drivers for this available:<br />
* swsusp, which is in the kernel and<br />
* [http://developer.berlios.de/projects/softwaresuspend/ SoftwareSuspend2] which is more feature rich, but not yet in the kernel, so you have to patch it in yourself<br />
Both are reported to work fine as long as you use open-source graphic drivers. A comparison of the features can be found on [http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/features.html this page].<br />
<br />
Just in case you are in doubt...yes, it is safe in both cases to use the same swap partition as active swap and as suspend partition.<br />
<br />
====using swsusp====<br />
Software Suspend (swsusp) is included in the 2.6 kernel series. It seems like no patches for 2.4 kernels are available.<br />
<br />
To enable it, go to <tt>Power management options</tt> and enable <tt>Power management support</tt> and <tt>Software Suspend</tt> in the kernel config menu. You'll also want to give the swap partition to suspend to in <tt>Default resume partition</tt>.<br />
<br />
In case you prefer to edit your config file directly, you should have the following three entries look like here...<br />
CONFIG_PM=y<br />
CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y<br />
CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/resume_partition"<br />
...where <tt>/dev/resume_partition</tt> needs to be replaced by the swap partition you want to use for suspending. (Use <tt>fdisk -l /dev/hda</tt> if unsure.)<br />
<br />
You can override the default resume partition anytime by giving <tt>resume=/dev/resume_partition</tt> as kernel boot parameter.<br />
Also, ihn case you suspended, but want to boot up normally (without resuming from the saved image - loosing all data that was unsaved at suspend time), you can give the <tt>noresume</tt> kernel boot parameter.<br />
<br />
To suspend you can either do a simple <tt>echo -n 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep</tt> (recommended) or use the [http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/old-site/swsusp/sysvinit-2.76-v2-for_swsusp-v5.tar.gz patched SysVInit] and call <tt>swsusp</tt> or <tt>shutdown -z now</tt>.<br />
<br />
Ideally you would do this from a script like <tt>/etc/acpi/actions/hibernate.sh</tt>. It has proven to be a good idea to shutdown the following processes/drivers within the script before you do the actual suspend.<br />
*any running mysql server<br />
*the madwifi driver, if you happen to use it<br />
Afterwards you might want to enable them again, as well as run a script that does necessary configurations according to the ac power state.<br />
It has furthermore turned out that the system clock is not readjusted automatically, so you will probably also want the do that from that script (i.e. by restarting your systemclock bootup script).<br />
<br />
Finally you should take note that swsusp does not set the ACPI S4 state. Instead it goes to S5. This means that the machine itself doesn't know that it was suspend rather than shutdown. Hence you can i.e. boot a parallel installed other operating system and resume your linux session later, as long as you don't touch the swap partition the image was saved to.<br />

===Laptop-mode===<br />
To actually enable the harddrive to shutdown for a longer time and not get started again because of filesystem syncs every few seconds, you'll need to activate [[Laptop-mode]].<br />

==DynamicClocks in the Radeon Xorg driver==<br />
The xorg X server has support for a power saving feature from ATI called PowerPlay. Xorg calls this feature DynamicClocks. It can be enabled in the server by adding '''Option "DynamicClocks" "on"''' in the '''Device''' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf<br />
<br />
Section "Device"<br />
Identifier "Videocard0"<br />
Driver "radeon"<br />
VendorName "IBM Thinkpad"<br />
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility M9"<br />
'''Option "DynamicClocks" "on"'''<br />
EndSection<br />
<br />
<br />
With this option enabled, the X11 server should print (/var/log/Xorg.0.log):<br />
<br />
(**) RADEON(0): Option "DynamicClocks" "on"<br />
(II) RADEON(0): Dynamic Clock Scaling Enabled<br />

I added some ibm flavour to the main stylesheet. What do you think? :-)<br />

Looks good.<br />
But I'd remove the stripes on the left, they look a bit too IBMish for my taste.<br />
<br />
I just added pictures to the Category pages. Looks nice. The pictures are partly from IBMs page and they have a disclaimer that says you should make a curtasy by ibm.... statement when using them. We don't use them in their original quality and you can find smallscale versions all over the net. However, we should maybe place some credits page somewhere to include this curtasy line there.<br />
