Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

2.1.1.1

ACPI C-State transitions are not happening with Windows XP

OS
Windows XP requires C-states reported to be contiguous. As a result, we might not
see C-state transitions if BIOS reported C-states are not contiguous. XP-SP3 (available
for 32-bit only) includes this fix.
Hotfix is available for this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941838

2.1.1.2

On Mobile platforms PCIe cards not detected on PCH PCIe ports

when they have more native physical lanes than the slot
Mobile platforms use Slot->PRSNT2->PCIECLKRQx->CLKOUT_PCIE->Slot, hence Slot
is clocked. PCIe specified card need to route PRSNT1 to last PRSNT2 for detection.
Interposer is not doing so (x1 PRSNT2 NC). Interposer needs rework to meet PCIe
specification.

Supported Hot Keys

Supported Hot Keys

CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+<KEY> causes a Hot-Key Event to the SBIOS. The specific <KEY>
to complete the sequence is defined in the following table.

3.1

ACPI Hot-keys
F1

IGFX Display Switch using Toggle List 1.

F2

IGFX Display Switch using Toggle List 2.

F3

IGFX Display Switch using Toggle List 3.

F4

IGFX Display Switch using Toggle List 4.

F5

Virtual Power Switch Event (Toggle between Virtual AC and Virtual Battery Mode)

F8

IGFX Panel Fitting Hot-Key

F9

IGFX LCD Brightness Level Decrease 10% if percentage > = 10%

F10

IGFX LCD Brightness Level Increase 10% if percentage < = 90%

1/!

6/^

7/&

8/*

80% Virtual Battery

9/(

90% Virtual Battery

0/)

100% Virtual Battery

-/_

Virtual Battery % = Virtual Battery 2%

= /+

Virtual Battery % = Virtual Battery + 2%

Notes:
1. The Virtual Battery hot-key values are a single key with dual purposes.
2. IGFX hot-keys are only supported when IGFX is present and is the primary display
device. If that is not the case, the hot-keys will be disabled.
3. The virtual battery hot-keys are only valid when a virtual battery is present. If
any real battery is present at all, these hot-keys are disabled. Additionally, the
user will only be allowed to decrease battery percentages when in virtual battery
mode and will only allow the user to increase battery percentages when in virtual
AC Mode. Also, please note that some operating systems only display battery
percentage differences that are 4%.
4. All of the above hot-keys work in ONLY ACPI aware operating systems.
