I am using ACPI 20021101 and VMWare 3.0 on kernel 2.4.19 with xfs and rmap14a. My laptop is a Compaq presario 2700T. When I include processor and thermal support in the kernel, I can see my battery and thermal zones just fine. However, My Win2K and openbsd 3.2 VMWare sessions stutter and are slow. YES! I did install the Idle patch. In fact, with 20021101 ACPI it seems this patch is already in place. When I remove processor and thermal support, I cannot see my battery any more, but VMWare sessions run fine without problems. I am looking for a solution that will give me my battery support back and let me run VMWare without sluggishness. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks!
