Hi !

My laptop is a zd8185ea and the omnibook kernel module doesn't support
my hardware :( It loads successfully but I have not any usefull
information in /proc/omnibook

I've tried omke.pl with all parameters and nothing is
working. Then I tried to load the omnibook module with all 12 ectypes
and did a cat /proc/omnibook/temperature to see if I got a relevant
value but I always get either 0 or 255 which I think is wrong.

So my questions are :
- Does someone on this list already owns a zd8000 laptop ?
- What can I do to have my laptop supported ?
- Do I have to use tools (under windows ?) to try to find the correct
values of the registers ? How do I use them ?

I'd like to help and get my laptop working...
