Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

burner@phoenix:/usr/share/doc/hdapsd$ sudo modprobe hdaps FATAL: Error inserting hdaps (/lib/modules/2.6.22-9-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko): No such device
burner@phoenix:/usr/share/doc/hdapsd$ dmesg | tail -n 2
[37697.820000] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[37697.820000] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

If I'm not mistaken, "Thinkpad T61P" needs to be added to hdaps_init() in drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c to support this new Thinkpad models.

Could someone add the Lenovo R61, X61, and Z61m to the whitelist in hdaps_init() in drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c to support the new Thinkpad models?

Also, to be proactive, we might want to add any other new Thinkpads with this technology that are not whitelisted (see the end of the page at:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Active_Protection_System for a list)

Thanks a ton!

This systems works out of the box, but the patch can be very simple, i mean :)

It's possible to reopen this bug and change status, or is better idea to open a new bug?

As you wrote:

Are you sure, your hdd device is called hda? Because, if you have sata disk, then the correct path will be /sys/block/sda/queue/protect. Change your init script to correct it.

I just tried to load the hdaps module on my T61p, and it still doesn't work.

As far as I can tell, it is because the vendor in the whitelist is listed as IBM, when it in my dmidecode output is LENOVO. Also it shouldn't be necessary to have entries for both T61 and T61p, according to the comment at the top of the whitelist.

I would assume that the same problem exists for the R61, and maybe also for the Z60? The output from running

sudo dmidecode | grep -i Vendor:

should make it possible to determine this.

Sorry, I know this bug has had a lot of updates already, but it ended up leading me in the wrong direction, so I thought I'd give a comment:
On my Z61p, the module wouldn't load either and I patched it with my laptop ID before I even found this page, but even after loading, the module wasn't reporting any sensor info.
It's only later that I found/read that the built-in module in the kernel doesn't actually work for all thinkpads. On mine, I ended up installing tp_smapi-0.33 from http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi with
make load HDAPS=1.
Only after that module was loaded, did I get hdaps-gl to show any tilting

Upon installing hdapsd, I get the same:

Setting up hdapsd (1:0.0.20070803-1) ...
 * Not starting hdapsd: /sys/block/hda/queue/protect does not exist

Running lsmod, I see that hdaps is not loaded. modprobe hdaps works, and lsmod shows the driver as loaded:

hdaps 11168 0
input_polldev 6928 1 hda

But do_checkprotect still fails, and if I comment the call out for testing, the next failure is:

# /etc/init.d/hdapsd start
WARNING: Cannot open hdaps position input file /dev/input/hdaps/accelerometer-event (No such file or directory). You may be using an incompatible version of the hdaps module, or missing the required udev rule. Falling back to reading the position from sysfs (uses more power). Use '-y' to silence this warning.

Fixed it to use sda instead of hda, but the same results. Nothing under /sys/block/*/queue has a protect entry.
