A question I have is why can events not be polled? If it is an int problem, is that fixable with a modded dsdt? I think Dell was putting out non-complying acpi stuff in their bios. One of the faculty in my department has a new Dell M60 and it seems to recognoze the PWRBTN event. I haven't had time to mess with the lid on it. But my bios is at the latest available and still nada. > > Thanks in advance, > Simon > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting > Tool for open source databases.
