Yeah, I understand. I wasn't even able to open my own laptop. But sometimes you have some technical documentation which states which chips you have. Unfortunately, more often than not, the Super-I/O chip isn't listed. > No - not certain at all.

Therefore no /proc/acpi files at the moment! I can't say. ACPI is a very complex area, some laptops need it, some don't like it at all, there are quirks required for half of them. Depending on the model, it might work on a version and not on another. We can't help you with this, see with the linux-acpi folks. -- Jean Delvare
