Compaq 1700, 2.4.18, acpi-7,24 - SUCCESS (I think)

Hi,

Thanks to the people on the list, I was able to get
most of ACPI(features I care about)to work with my
laptop.

I had to modify the DSDT. (Very little)

I am pretty sure I didn't correct all the errors.  I
am getting some error messages in the
/var/log/messages like

Aug 12 10:24:33 dhcp--210-156 kernel: Executing all
Device _STA and_INI methods:....... dswexec-0117 [14]
Ds_get_predicate_value: Bad predicate (not a number)
Obj_desc=cffe07e8 State=c143e028 Type=2

and

Aug 12 10:24:33 dhcp--210-156 kernel:
..................  uteval-0432 [07] Ut_execute_STA   
    : No object was returned from _STA


I am guessing this has to be with my battery capacity.

I had to hack the battstat_applet to hard code the
capacity.  It was reading Unknown.  Actually, I had to
hack it so that it didn't read
/proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/info.  Prior to doing this, my
laptop would lock up about 10 minutes after the applet
is started.
