Many thanks for the last tip; I was able to decompile and "fix" the DSDT rather easily using the advice from your responses. I have a few questions about batteries: I was looking around the battery driver code last night trying to find out what the battery "alarm" actually does. Unfortuneately (and I only spent a few minutes looking), I wasn't able to easily see what the function of this feature was. I guess my first question is: does it do anything at all? :) Secondly, would it be beyond of the scope of ACPI for the battery driver to generate ACPI events when the power gets low? Or is there already something like this that exists that I'm missing? I tried watching /proc/acpi/event last as my battery discharged and didn't see any unusual activity. Thirdly, does the kernel have access to the LED lights on a typical laptop? That is, does it have the ability to ping the LED and make it light up? Or, is that something controlled entirely by hardware? It would be rather neat, I think, to use my "bluetooth" LED (since I don't have bluetooth) in an arbitrary way. Anyways. :) -- Jeremy L.
