Have you tried using the ec_burst=1 kernel option? I have a few HP
Omnibook 5x0/6x00 series laptops that require it to work correctly.
Without ec_burst=1 battery, thermal, brightness keys etc. are all
broken.

PS.
Big thanks to the ACPI people. The early ec_burst patches didn't work
correctly with these laptops but now I'm running 2.6.14-mm1 and
everything appears to work perfectly.
