Following Bob's great advice, I managed to get the battery drain on a R51
(1829-9MG) from 5,294 mW to 828 mW. I used the following in the 05* radeon
patch:
{
+ .ident = "IBM ThinkPad R51 (1829-9MG)",
+ .matches = {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "IBM"),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "18299MG"),
+ }
so maybe this model should be added to the list of "working" models?
[ I am not sure who to email for this ... or maybe you read this list]
My R51 is now close to being perfect for my needs (Suspend to RAM and disk
work fine, 3D acceleration is OK, wireless good, Thinkpad buttons, CPU
frequency scaling etc ...)
I am compiling a summary of the whole process of configuring the R51 with
Gentoo Linux. I'll post a link to the page here later this week hopefully.
