Hi,
I have the Presario 2800, which is the sister machine to
the Evo N800. A quick search on the archives will show
my messages on getting things to work, and similar
experiences for other Compaq Presario users.
A synopsis of my functionality as relating to ACPI
(I'm using 2.4.18+acpi-20020709+nocorruption.2+swsusp9):
* No battery entry in /proc/acpi, so I'm
flying blind. Another user notes that fan policy
is handled at the machine level, so no ACPI
interface for the fan, either.
* Suspend to disk and sleep on lid-closing works,
provided X has only run w/o DRI since the last
power up; once you fire up X w/ DRI enabled, neither
will work unless you reboot.
* Haven't played with setting CPU throttling policy,
but the /proc/acpi/processor tree seems complete, and
the speed stepping from 1.6GHz to 1.2GHz happens
automatically.
* Device hot swap works, sort of. I can monkey around
with the floppy, but the CDRW/DVD has to be present at
boot for Linux to appreciate its existence. Not sure
about the battery since the entry for the primary
battery has yet to work ...
Only the first of these issues is a show stopper.
The one thing I'll try tonight is to deactivate
ACPI debugging in the kernel config, to see if that
has any effect. Other than that, I'm out of ideas
beyond waiting for new patches and patching the DSDT.
Regards,
Sourav
