Hi All,

So the MSI touchpad would not work after resume on B119.

They fixed the issue in B120, problem is B120 would not even suspend, just sit and hange on HD.

I've done a clean B119 install and taken the three 8042 files from /kernel/drv off B120.

No more touchpad issues.

CPU 1 is still pulling 100% busy after resume, but we know it's an ACPI problem, so maybe we can get a fix.

As I mentioned before, after putting the latest BIOS onto the Acer One 10", the problems with ACPI lid taking 30 seconds to suspend the netbook has gone away.

I have B119 with Evolution 2.27.5 and Firefox 3.5.1, it's a pretty cool system.

Hi All,

 So I followed the instructions here:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/bluetooth/

And actually got an Acer BT mouse talking to B110 on the MSI Netbook.

I think I've figured out the compiz issues it's to do with the xorg.conf

This one works here

I've built the compiz 0.8.0 binaries I'll try to find a place to store them for access (4.3Mb)

We have issue with resume if compiz is running on the AA1, AA1-10 or MSI, engineering thinks they know what's causing it and are workin on a fix.

Hi All,

 Well I spent the whole day rebuilding the entire compiz packages, I've got 0.8.0 on the MSI Wind Netbook.

 I still had to do a full power shutdown, but now it's back up and compiz is looking really good.

 I'll see about tar.bz2 them all tomorrow and post to this site.

Hi All,

 So I did a BIOS upgrade to the MSI and B108 started to hang in the suspend again.

  Upgraded to B109 and the suspend / resume works again.

I still have three outstanding issues, touchpad not working after resume even my fix does not work anuymore, processor speed set high after resume and the usb SD / mspro reader is not being seen during insert.

I'm going down to CA for a week March 9th, I've setup to take the AA1, MSI and Elonex to LA to the Sun engineers supporting laptops for the day.

I'm also trying to port Autoscan Network to OpenSolaris see screenshot following of an Ubuntu system.

If I suspend the AA1 or MSI, Autoscan Network see's that it's down, you can actually send a wakeup across the lan and the AA1 or MSI will resume :-)

Hi All,

 So I went back to B104 on the MSI Wind, just could not really get suspend / resume working on B107.

 Suspend / resume works fine, the touchpad does not work after resume.

If I do this:

modinfo | grep mouse8042
grab the index
modunload -i <index>
modload /kernel/driver/mouse8042

Touchpad comes back on again

So I later found out you really don't have to do the modload, something, is doing it.

Randy F. gave me this:

MODID=`modinfo | grep mouse8042 | awk '{print $1}'`
modunload -i $MODID

I've just put it in a script in /usr/bin, I'll have to find a way to activate it after resume.
