As my computer told me to send an output of dmidecode to linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I do it. My Notebook is a Samsung R40plus with Ubuntu 7.10 as operatig system. It works fine. Suspend and Hibernation doesn't work and the system startup is really slow. My PIII @ 600 Mhz it boots up in 20 seconts. My notebook takes up to 3 minutes (but not at every boot, sometimes it takes only 20 seconds) Bu here is the output: ulli@ubuntunotebook:~$ sudo dmidecode [sudo] password for ulli: # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present. 29 structures occupying 1023 bytes.
