Acerhdf is it not running correctly after suspend/resume

Hi

Finally i have sucess adding acerhdf to sickboy kernel, the only issue I have had with acerhdf is it not running correctly upon resuming from a suspend. Should be pretty easy to fix that but i dont now how???

Thanks

 

bump...

 

Will post a fix for this later when I have some free time.

 

aeiah over on the crunchbang forums posted a script to fix this. I can confirm it works.

Here is a link to his post, and here is his fix.

Its works very well...

Thanks

 

Do you mind sharing how you did it? I have had only problems trying to install the acerhdf module to the Kuki (sickboy) kernel. Thank you.

Well download the file dp linked to above.

Go to terminal and change to the directory the file you just downloaded is at.

Try this.

sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
sudo cp acerhdf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28sickboy-kuki/kernel/drivers/misc
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe acerhdf



I recommend having any other fan control off.

The above is just a quick hack. If your sickboy kernel version is different the first two lines need to be changed.

this seems to solve the acerhdf issue with resuming from suspension. as you can see all the script does is remove the module and reload it. it's based on the script detailed here that's used to resume the wireless card on wake.

create the file:

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/00acerhdf



paste this in:

#
# Restart acerhdf after suspension
#

case "$1" in
resume|thaw)
rmmod acerhdf
modprobe acerhdf
;;
*)
;;
esac

exit $?



chmod for execution:

sudo chmod u+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/00acerhdf



Thanks to hillsoft

 

Thanks a bunch, jango.

 

Latest acerhdf (0.4.0) has fixed this issue.

 

I can also confirm the new 0.4.0 can be built and installed and you don't need to worry anymore about the restart script on resume.

Just install the new kernel module and you are good to go.

If you install this new version you can delete /etc/pm/sleep.d/00acerhdf as it is no longer needed
