BIOS/ACPI problems with Evo N800w
- Suspend doesn't work, it just resumes a couple of hundred millisecs later (this is the same if I use apm actually)
- The fan is always on
- Screen is dimmed when go *off* battery instead of the other way around (acts the same under WinXP)
- no battery is registered when booting and thus the linux acpi implementation thinks there's no battery (only an AC adapter)
Anyone else had more success with this laptop and Linux?

Re: BIOS/ACPI problems with Evo N800w
The newer you get, the better the support.
Laptop support is still way, way behind the general desktop support.
If you are using an older distribution, try a newer one.

Re: BIOS/ACPI problems with Evo N800w
ACPI relies heavily on the bios. If things aren't working correctly in either Linux or Windows, then I would suspect the bios. Have you looked on the HP support site to see if there is a bios upgrade? My experience is that the description of new bios offerings doesn't always list everything that has been changed. If you have an AMD Athlon processor in your notebook, the fan IS always going to run. However, I noticed that the last bios upgrade on a ze4325 (with Athlon processor) dropped the average notebook temperature by about 10 degrees centigrade.
Good luck!

Re: BIOS/ACPI problems with Evo N800w
You need at least:
- Kernel 2.4.22
- Activated ACPI ;-)
- cpufreq support. I use P4 clockmod
- An updateded DSDT from acpi.sf.net
- Additional I use the DSDT in initrd patch
Maybe You should also update to BIOS version F.11.
So the fan's are running fine, I get battery data, temperature etc.

Any chance you could post it here? It should be under the attachment limit, no?
