How to apply a DSDT overlay patch?

TL;DR

Hei there!

How can I apply a DSDT overlay patch I've found for my device to enable screen backlight controls?

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only" (Solved)

Apparently with a quick search for debug_quirks I've found that it's rather a common issue with various laptops from different makers. Funny enough this looks like quite an arcane config, I don't know if this is correct but even in kernel source code the reasons are quite "cryptic" (mind, I'm no ...

Re: Update kernel on FatDog for Bay Trail device

Hey everybody!

In these days I've tried to fix the problems I've met. Unfortunately I hadn't much time so it took quite a bit.

I've tried to dabble with kernels but realized the whole thing is still a bit over my head, some things are not clear to me, maybe in another time I'll ask you again for ...

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only"

After long search the solution for this is a boot parameter! (maybe this works with other devices too?)
"sdhci.debug_quirks=0x10000"
Do you have any considerations about some unexpected side effects with this param on?
Thanks and credits goes to apinela!

Re: Update kernel on FatDog for Bay Trail device

Thanks a lot everybody, I've been quite busy and wanted to try couple more things before reporting back on this. Unfortunately not the results I hoped for, but maybe I'm missing something or I guess not everything can be achieved with this old tablet. I'll keep you posted! :thumbup2:

Re: Update kernel on FatDog for Bay Trail device

Thank you for your answer!

I'll check the faq you pointed at me and try the kernel procedure as soon as possible, same thing for the sound.

As for the brightness issue unfortunately nothing happened with both commands, the screen keeps the same max brightness, no error or other output printed in ...

Update kernel on FatDog for Bay Trail device

Hello
I'm quite a novice linux user, and even more with puppy, so maybe what I'm asking doesn't make much sense.

I've tested FatDog64 811 on my Intel Bay Trail based tablet with Atom Z3735F CPU and it runs very well (for what I can tell), I'm just facing a few issues.

The most important issue is ...

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only"


@pupp_overflow: This doesn't help your situation, but it's an example of how flaky card reader hardware can be:

I finally got the k5.6 machine to start working again by booting it with an Ethernet cable plugged in! I'm guessing that this works because the Ethernet adapter and SD reader are on the ...

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only"

Thank you @ rcrsn51 and @Jafadmin, I guess it's sort of a dead end, I really know nothing about kernel compiling and this type of low level operations. Or maybe a command issued before booting via GRUB? I know some tweakings can be done, but I'm really no expert in this.

About blowing in the sd ...

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only"

As @rcrsn51 mentioned here below is the dmesg output without the sd-card inserted on FatDog64


# dmesg | grep -i mmc

Re: Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only"

Thank you all for your time and answers!

I'll answer to @Jafadmin and @greengeek first since it should be quick.

@Jafadmin: sorry I should have specified with more clarity that the card reader slot is for micro sd-cards only, I can't fit that big adapter.
I should have also mentioned more ...

Micro sd-cards always mounted as "read-only" (Solved)

Solution found, a boot parameter can fix this

`"sdhci.debug_quirks=0x10000"`
