Yea, the notebook should support ACPI as it is only one week old. In a very detailed article on ACPI with Linux some geeks write that 1. you still need APM. Why, dont' ask me. But I try removing it from the kernel. 2. currently only SuSE 8.1 distributes a patched kernel with full ACPI support. All the other kernels, inlcuding RedHat and kernel.org, won't work without an acpi-patch from sourceforge.
I'm on the way to test it but failed in proceeding as I don't know how to patch a kernel. *sorry* Can you give me some advice here? I've a *.diff file. What do to with it?
