I've got an A21e and I'm having a heck of a time with ACPI. Is it just ACPI that's broken or my laptop? I'd posted the dmesg dump to a similar problem report (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/46553) but hadn't seen much else on it. Is the 'ps2.exe' util up on IBM's web site? (I ask because finding drivers on their site is often like searching for the metaphorical needle). Should I give it a whirl or is my best bet just disabling ACPI and going with APM (which worked reasonably well under 4.5)? andrew On Fri, Feb 21, 2003 at 04:27:04PM -0500, Matthew N.
