With 2.6.22, did you notice any functional difference with "acpi_osi=!Linux"? (or since the default changed at 2.6.23, with 2.6.23 or later do you notice any difference with "acpi_osi=Linux"?) Please send me the output from acpidump. If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/utilities.php thanks, -Len --- BIOS Information Vendor: COMPAL Version: 1.12 Release Date: 08/29/2007 Address: 0xE6100 Runtime Size: 106240 bytes ROM Size: 1024 kB Characteristics: ...
