Which laptops don't work/have problems w/o ACPI

Which laptops don't work/have problems w/o ACPI

[Grover, Andrew]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile a list of systems that do not work, or have reduced
functionality, without ACPI.

Would people who have these mind shooting me a quick private email with the
exact make and model, and I'll summarize to the list?

Thanks -- Regards -- Andy

HP1100 series (and its european clone the XT1100 series) does not have sound 
without ACPI. I have heard that sound may be possible with ALSA v9 but I can 
not confirm that. Also you must always do a manual poweroff w/o ACPI b/c 
there is no APM support.

Later,
Jason B.

If it counts, the Compaq Evo n800c series. It works without, but ACPI
only sees limited resources (no battry info and it seems to wrong CPU
temps, as my P4m shouldn't be as "cold" as 50C when compiling a
kernel).

ttfn,
A

PS: Judging by the Compaq driver site, it shares a lot of hardware
with the Presario 2800 series
