I'm running there latest BIOS A11. I notice that kernel 2.5.59 dmi_scan.c 
disables ACPI.   dmi_scan checks specifically for a Dell C600 then disables 
all other Latitudes.

dmi_scan doesn't have any dates in it so I can't tell how old the check is.  
dmi_scan on linux 2.4.19 is the same.  Any thoughts to modifying dmi_scan to 
let my Dell pass and see what happens?
