Sadly, the kernel I was using was compiled by somebody else, so I have very little idea what he actually did to make it. Details .. http://www.ottaky.com/vaiou1.php I've just upgraded to SuSE 8.2 (kernel 2.4.20) and the ACPI is broken - it's "partially" installed. All the hardware works (AFAIK), but there's no power management information available through /proc/acpi. So .. I'm wondering what the best (easiset) way to get ACPI working is. Can I download the 2.4.20 kernel source, apply the 2.4.20 acpi patch from sourceforge and cross my fingers? Or use the DSDT in intird patch? If there's a walk through somewhere on the interweb for ACPI kernel compiling newbies, a pointer to it would be great ;-) Many thanks sjb ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
