Wayne,
how did you confirm that the L03 is being called?

Bruno prototyped some of the display extensions here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1944

Perhaps you can attach your acpidmp output to that
bug report and we can see if we can't get the extensions
working on your laptop?

thanks,
