Which version of the N610C BIOS are you using?  (F.14 is the latest on =
the hp.com website.)  I know that the _OSI("Windows 2001") bug will be =
fixed in the F.15 release, but I don't think the _GL_ portion of your =
patch will be included.  Did you have to remove the Acquire & Release of =
_GL_ in order to get xbat to work?  (This is not a problem we see with =
Linux ACPI in 2.4.21, so I think that FreeBSD's ACPI stack needs =
updating.)

Thanks,
John
