I have a Ausu laptop with some issues …
Currently the only way that I can run on this laptop is to have the kernel switch
acpi=off
That makes the laptop usable but I then have no blue tooth, screen dimming, battery monitoring, ect…
What can I do to fix this or am i doomed? :’(
what would you need to help me fix this ?
I was using the desktop 32bit kernel so I figured that I would try the PAE kernel without the acpi=off switch … and the results are a bit better… but it’s still unusable without the switch
Hi
What if you boot to runlevel 3 with acpi on, then login as your user and run top. Then press ctrl+alt+F2 login as root and run;
init 5 && exit
Now flip back to the top session, press ctrl+alt+F1, what is hogging the processes?
Which DE are you using?
right now i’m in KDE (but it’s the same in both DE)
Give me a minute to do the rest
(after log in) gui side
kwin 65% + is the big hog
plasma
dbus
Hi
What GPU is in that system? What happens if you disable the desktop effects in both DE’s?
nvidia with the nvidia drivers installed
geforce gt 240m
just turned off the effects in kde … waiting on the reboot / login
nope no change … still really slow with the acpi off

if you use yast to install the kernel source, there will be installed on
your hard drive at
file:///usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt a document
which lays out several acpi switches between either on or off, like:
acpi= force OR noirq OR strict OR rsdt OR copy_dsdt OR
acpi_apic_instance= 0 OR 1 OR 2
acpi_backlight= vendor OR video
and many many many more…i’ve not been brave enough, nor found enough
patience, but there may be some smiles in that long list…
but, before you experiment i’d advise you to do a lot of google searches
AND read my sig caveat…
i’d suggest if you have not yet, do a google with a string kinda like
this: linux Asus [model number] acpi [one word problems you are having]
by the way, what ARE the problems you are having without using the off
switch…maybe we could help you with your real problem, instead of
trying to tune a solution…there may be another, and better solution!

Hi
Leave the acpi on and just disable the desktop effects…
A google on the system along with acpi may glean some options to try.
I’ll give that a try and see if I can narrow down the issues …
the problem that i’m having … is that the system is soooo slow to respond to anything (mouse clicks, typing, just moving between the tty’s is painfully slow)
You need the NVIDIA driver. I see quite some ASUS laptops with NVIDIA’s -I buy them for a customer-, and have seen the mentioned issues. The proprietary driver solves this. If you insist on using the nouveau driver, use the ‘nomodeset’ parameter.
EXTRA: in KDE’s systemsettings, Input Devices, Keyboard, Keyboard model: select the asus_laptop model. This brings in the Fn keys functionality.
Knurpht,
I am using the proprietary Nvidia driver…nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop … installed as akmod
I’m starting to think that rolling back to 11.3 because it worked fine then …
