Everything else works great. I have read that SuSE 8.1 is supposed to support ACPI right off the install.... I have the acpi package installed through yast but other than that there is no evidence anything is working. My lapto[p supports acpi so that should not be a problem. I have tried acpi=on in my boot and that makes no difference. I have tried following the steps at linux-laptop.net for any acer laptops close to my model and the instructions are sketchy at best. Because the laptop works so good as is... I am hesitant to start farting around with it... but I thought I would come to the ACPI EXPERTS and ask the question... is there a step by step on how to take my kernel(2.4.19-4GB), and recompile with acpi support? Am I missing something and SuSE 8.1 really does support acpi right out of the box? I tried SuSE support, they said "Sorry, out of the scope of free support" LOL.. I appreciate any advise/help I can get. Until then... I have to watch the time as my battery only lasts about 2.5 hours :) Thanks Preston -- Preston Lord Programmer/Developer/Network Specialist Double "T" Computer Services SK, CA Ph.1.306.773.2054 ============================== http://www.t2.net (Hosting) http://www.dinamicweb.com (iHTML Driven Dropsites) http://www.ebboard.ca (iHTML Discussion Forum Software) ------------------------------------------------------- Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo, June 4-6, 2003, Santa Clara The only event dedicated to issues related to Linux enterprise solutions www.enterpriselinuxforum.com
