I have Dell Latitude C640 and most of the numerical values in the /proc FS are zero or equivalent. And in addition battery module produces a lot of "Warning: Buffer created with zero length in AML". I had a short look at the dissasembled DSDT and it seems that some code is executed conditionally based on operation system running on the laptop. Are not all the problems with ACPI on Dell caused by nonstandard implementation of ACPI by Dell? I had same problems also with ACPI 20021212 and kernel 2.4.20. Do any of you have any suggestion?
