dell e6330

[O.G.]

Hello

First Happy New Year to the Siduction team and
to all contributors to this forum.
Siduction is installed on my PC and everything
is fine. I appreciate very well the name of the last siduction release.
On a new laptop, a dell e 6330, I have some questions.
I posted here because it is hardware dependent.

0) vertical scrolling with touchpad is not working.
It is mainly due to a different version of alps, but a psmouse/alps patch doe the job. See  https://github.com/emmanuelthome/psmouse-alps
and it works.

1) Fn/+- brightness screen does not work with kernel 3.7.1
but woks with kernel 3.6.9

2) Wireless : broadcom BCM4313. With firmware-brcm80211 and adding brcmsmac module I have wireless network. Only a very few lines (dmesg) like this one

ieee80211 phy0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: true (implement)


3) Wireless led indicator : does not work. Do you have an idea ?

Remark. I installed to test another distribution archbang based on arch. Kernel is 3.7.1 but screen brightness and wireless led indicator are ok.

Many thanks for advance.

Hello

For 3) I think it depends on the wireless module. I installed brcmsmac
on siduction and archbang comes with wl.

We tried to reproduce your issues to no avail. What comes closes to your 1) is that my screen is to dark at boottime, but Fn-Keys work fine to make it brighter (Intel)

Hello

Thanks for your tests.
For 1) I confirm and to be more precise
with kernel 3.6.9 : Fn/keys work fine in any situation
with kernel 3.7.1 : Fn/keys (brightness screen) do not work in tty or lightdm
but work in an xfce session.

I confirm that wifi led indicator depends on the module.

Cheers

Hello


I found some informations concerning acpi and
kernel 3.7.[0-3].
Adding

acpi_osi='!Windows 2012'

to grub_cmdline_linux is a solution.
Fn/+- brightness are working under tty and lightdm screen.
