It seems to work fine, except for a few ACPI related problems. First of all, I get a lot of ACPI-0293: *** Warning: Buffer created with zero length in AML -0166: *** Error: UtAllocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes on the console. This ends in acpi_cmbat0: battery initialization failed, giving up acpi_cmbat1: battery initialization failed, giving up I don't know if one has something to do with the other, but sysctl hw.acpi does indeed show a battery.life of -1, and a continuous battery.state of 7, even without AC power. Furthermore, I thought ACPI had an APM 'emulation' interface? The apm command after boot says 'APM disabled'. I can enable it by doing 'apm -e', but I would think it should be enabled by default. Can someone enlighten me as to the relation between ACPI and APM? (I don't have device apm in my kernel, and have apm.0.disabled=3D"1" in /boot/device.hints). Similarly, 'zzz' doesn't work. Should I use acpiconf -s instead? If so, which state? The few states I've tried all ended up in a blank screen, and no keypresses etc could recover the laptop. I do not have X running yet, so no console switches needed. Does anyone else have battery & suspend working on a Latitude C800? Next up is setting up X, and trying to get an external modem to work -- the internal modem is a 3com 3c556 mini-pci, which is a winmodem. --Stijn --=20 "...I like logs.
