Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:34:26 -0500 From: "Andrew Paprocki" <andrew@...iboo.com> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: dz@...ian.org Subject: i8k: fails to detect Dell XPS M1530, fails to get SMM BIOS version with force=1 I see two problems with the i8k module and the Dell XPS M1530. First, the laptop is not detected. Second, even if it is detected, the module prints that it is unable to get the SMM BIOS version even though the module appears to be working: # modprobe i8k force=1 # dmesg | grep i8k [ 547.007217] i8k: not running on a supported Dell system. [ 547.007234] i8k: vendor=Dell Inc., model=XPS M1530 , version=A08 [ 547.007629] i8k: unable to get SMM BIOS version # cat /proc/i8k 1.0 A08 5D26YF1 53 0 0 0 0 -1 -22 Information from DMI: BIOS Information Vendor: Dell Inc. Version: A08 Release Date: 03/19/2008 System Information Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS M1530 It seems straightforward to add a record for the auto-detection, but I'm not sure how generic it should be. From looking online, it appears the M1330, M1530, and M1730 all need to be detected. Perhaps it should just be "Dell XPS M Series" and only match on "XPS M"? Does anyone else on the list use these laptops?
