Back in November I had an exchange of emails on this list and with Richard Black at HP, during which we established that the main thing that stops Linux ACPI working out-of-the-box on HP notebooks like my Evo N800c is that the DSDT written into the BIOS on these boxes does not comply with the ACPI spec. I sent details of some of the most obvious violations - with references - to Richard, who said he's pass them on, but I've heard nothing back.
Does HP notebooks (your Evo N800c) support ACPI well when running Windows? If so, linux should do it like windiows, despite those boxes does not comply with the ACPI spec. Am I right? thanks, micyu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
