The "bad state" I complained about earlier seems to be permanent now. I left the laptop with AC and battery disconnected last night. This morning both 2.6.22 and 2.6.24-19-generic (ubuntu) are locking up or rebooting as soon as I press a hotkey. The patch resets the default behaviour back to 2.6.24, so it won't make any difference. None of these kernels should have the GPE polling problem. There are many people using Ubuntu on the EeePC without complaint; I must have damaged the hardware or firmware. OTOH 2.6.21.4-eeepc (the pre-installed kernel from Xandros/Asus) is immune. I will work on it, but don't expect anything soon. Thanks for your help Alan
