Description First Last 2008-05-07 21:59:24 UTC

Platform: MacBook, first generation (core duo)
Product: openSUSE 11.0 Beta 2
Media: openSUSE Beta 2 KDE 4 Live-CD (not installed)

Problem:

The applesmc module is not loaded on my MacBook by default using the live-cd. As far as I understand the module on the macBook for some hardware (including CPU fan speed and accelerometer) to work correctly.

Rudi, you have one of those too, no?

Comment 2 Ruediger Oertel 2008-05-08 08:52:59 UTC

well, I have a MacBookPro (2nd gen), but the module is not loaded here
either. I have an entry in boot.local modprobing this one.

looking at  modules.pcimap, there is not a single entry for applesmc, so it can not be loaded automatically.

Just FYI: http://en.opensuse.org/MacBook_Pro_Specials contains more details about specific hardware settings for MacBook Pro.

Comment 4 Ruediger Oertel 2008-11-05 15:22:57 UTC

still not being loaded by default (SLE11/oS11.1 beta4)

is this something for the kernel ?

Comment 5 Christian Zoz 2008-11-12 18:09:58 UTC

If the module does not contain modaliases, then it cannot be loaded automatically. --> kernel, upstream

Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2008-11-13 16:36:59 UTC

There is no way for the kernel to know to automatically load this module, just add it to your module startup list and it will be loaded then.

Nothing the kernel can do here...
