Unfortunatelly no linux kernel will work out of the box with ACPI.<BR /><BR />So go to:<BR /><A href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi</A> to download a patch for your kernel, apply it over the kernel sources, recompile the kernel and give it a try.<BR /><BR />In the worst case, you will end up with a unusable kernel and some lost time. If things go well, you should be able to control some of the power management features of your laptop. (you can even create scripts that run on certain events like closing the lid or pushing the power button).<BR /><BR />Good luck,<BR />c Mon, 20 Jan 2003 09:26:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/xt1500-ventilator/m-p/2885042#M78021 Cristian Draghici 2003-01-20T09:26:24Z
