Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H and ACPI wakeup

  • Sorry for writing in English, my German is not good enough for discussing technical topics like this. If it's not ok to use English here, I'll try to find another forum, but this one has a lot of users so I thought I might be able to get help here.


    I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H motherboard and now I'm trying to get ACPI wakeup working with it, but so far it's not going well. The BIOS has wakeup functionality in it and that works. I can't seem to get the computer to wake up if I set the wakeup time from Linux, though.


    I'm using Fedora 10 Prerelease, because I need quite a new Xorg in order to get new drivers for the Intel X4500HD that's integrated with the motherboard. Fedora 10 has no /proc/acpi/wakeup, so I've been trying to use /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm as instructed in http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ind….2Frtc.2Frtc0.2Fwakealarm


    Does anyone here have the same motherboard? Have you had success with ACPI wakeup? How?

    I don't know which kernel is used by Fedora 10. It exists some issues with newer kernels and acpi/rtc wakeup.

  • I did some more tweaking and it seems ACPI wakeup works after all :)


    I disabled the BIOS' own wakeup options and then did everything just as told on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ind…akeup#Initiate_manually_2


    I'll need to do some more testing to see if it really works reliably, but so far everything seems alright. Fedora 10 has kernel 2.6.27.4, so the wakeup related bug(s) should be fixed.


    In general the motherboard seems quite nice, but I haven't yet been able to get HDMI working or 50Hz signal from the VGA output.
