My netbook is the MK90, an 8.9" device better known as the Disney Netpal. While not generally listed among its more conventionally decorated siblings I'm fairly confident that the hardware is very similar to other 9" EeePCs. The default XP installation comes with the same configurability as other models, the main difference is that this one is built sturdier and has a Mickey pattern which shouldn't interfere with power management too much. Even so, it is not listed as supported by acpi_asus, nor does the hw.acpi.asus tree show up in sysctl when I load the module. It'd be really nice if I could turn off the display while my netbook sits in a cupboard day and night, so as suggested in acpi_asus.c I'm emailing to request that you try and implement this. I understand that this old thing may not be of particularly high priority right now, so if there's any data I can provide or code I can test I'll gladly help. If it may speed things up, I have at least enough experience with C to move some values around. Thank you for listening, -- Dominic van Berkel "You don't have conversations with microprocessors.
