Subject: [patch 2.6.18-rc1-git] rtc-acpi, with wakeup support Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel Date: 2006-07-15 19:40:51 GMT (2 years, 50 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours and 39 minutes ago)
The new RTC framework hasn't been very usable on most x86 desktop
PCs ... so here's a driver using the ACPI RTC and PNPACPI. AFAICT
it could mostly replace drivers/char/rtc.c on ACPI systems.
One of the goals here was to expose this RTC as a normal wakeup
event source ... no /proc/acpi/alarm thing, just the same userspace
interfaces as on non-ACPI RTCs, and non-RTC devices. That works
somewhat ... for the very first time, I've seen ACPI wakeup behave!
But ACPI doesn't always behave after hardware wakeup events, so
echo disabled > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/device/power/wakeup
may be appropriate on the systems where it doesn't yet work.
- Dave
p.s. A followup message will include a userspace program which
makes it easier to try the RTC wakeup mechanism.
