ACPI Support for HP Pavillion laptops

ACPI Support for HP Pavillion laptops

[Chetal Patil]

Hi,

I recently joined the Linux Driver Development mailing list and would
like to contribute to the Linux Driver Project. Specifically, I would
like to contribute by working on ACPI Support for HP Pavillion laptops
(Referred list at
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/mediawiki/index.php/Drivers_Needed).
Regarding this, I humbly seek answer to the following questions.

1). Is anyone currently working on this project?
2). If any kind of contribution is still needed, can anyone please
provide me details?

If there is any specialized mailing list regarding this, please direct
me to there.

Thanks,
Chetal

Do you have the hardware here, and have any chance to get the specs for
what the hardware provides?  And why would ACPI support for a specific
laptop be needed?  Linux supports ACPI quite well these days, are you
sure this isn't already done?

thanks,

Hi Greg,

I have HP Pavilion dv4-1414tx laptop. I don't know exactly what is
(/was) the issue and why ACPI support is needed for these laptops.
After your reply I realized that the list
"http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/mediawiki/index.php/Drivers_Needed"
is not updated recently :(. Where can I find the equivalent updated
list where contributions are needed for the driver projects?

Thanks,
Chetal.

Look in the kernel source itself, in the drivers/staging/*/TODO files
and pick something there to work on.

Hope this helps,

I believe http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#platform-driver-x86 is the better place for your questions.
