Shorter read than the LSB though not by much *grin* I sent the outputs asked for via a direct mail as you asked. But I didn't want to post those links into a forum than gets publicly archived. If anyone else wants the data I'll be glad to let them see it as well. The reason for starting this endevor is a set of acpi related error messages that fill up my logs (at the rate of about 1 every 2 seconds) ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [Z007] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND search_node cbec2e20 start_node cbec2e20 return_node 00000000 ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BST] (Node cbec2d20), AE_NOT_FOUND I've noticed 2 rather interesting things ... 1. Windows is only slightly better on power management with this DSDT than Linux. 2. This DSDT does have the "Windows Only" settings in it. Surprisingly it doesn't have an entry for WindowsXP. (I've a feeling somebody cut and pasted an older DSDT.) I did file a bug so to speak with Acer a prompt "Thank you for the information we are looking into the matter type letter", but somehow it did have a feel about it that it did raise and eyebrow so maybe they can help sometime in the next 6 months to a year. *grin* James ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
