Running Ubuntu Hoary. I have several issues with acpi, and would like to get your thought on them. Loaded modules at the bottom of the mail. My acpi version: ii acpi 0.07-3 =20 ii acpi-support 0.21 =20 ii acpid 1.0.4-1ubuntu4 My main problem is battery. If I start up the machine with the battery plugged in, then linux will see it, and show me percentage remaining, etc.. however, once linux is started, i do not receive any events from the battery. I can plug/unplug it, nothing comes through. Any idea? Note: When I unplug/plug my AC power, i get the events. Cpufreq works with powernowd deamon. The CPU speed is going up/down quite nicely depending on load. However, one day, I let my CPU at 383Mhz (the lowest it can) for a while, and my battery didn't seem to tell me it could last any longer than when running at 3.06Ghz. But I guess it could be related to the above problem. Suspend-2-ram works fine. I still need to on Suspend-2-disk, however. It tells me if frees memory for a while.. then screen goes black, but it never shuts down, forcing me to do a 'hard' shutdown. Do you think I need to upgrade my Dell BIOS? I looked on Dell's website, there has been quite a few out since I bought the laptop, but I haven't seen anything in their Changelog directly related to my issues. Thanks a lot.
