Acer travelmate 291lmi (CPU: centrino 1.4, intel ich4)

The thing that wasn't working on my laptop was the battery life remaining.

We patched the dsdt table and it seemed to work, however I've since discovered that whilst it makes the system report the battery life remaining, the time is incorrect. I've experimented with the dsdt some more but haven't been able to find the correct value.

Interestingly, XP doesn't report the time remaining either.... but linux does - I assume linnux is doing some kind of calculation to determine the battery life based on a calculated rate:

(battery capacity remaining at time 0) - (battery capacity at time 1)

(time 0 - time 1)

then using this calculated rate to determine how much time until the battery is flat.

This may be duplicate: the first time I tried to open a ticket, I was informed, upon submission, that I didn't have high enough status.

I recently install eComStation 2.0 RC4 on a computer with an ASUS M2N-E mobo, with an AMD 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor (5600+). The install was smooth, in vga mode.

Currently I cannot take advantage of the dual core because I cannot get ACPI to work in SMP mode. The system runs reasonably well as long as I do not use the ACPI.PSD switch /APIC. My understanding is that this system, with its nVidia nForce 570 Ultra MCP chipset will operate in SMP mode with APIC turned on only.

When I use this switch the system stops booting after OS2ASPI.DMD is installed. As a further note, if I rem this driver out, the system stops booting when OS2SCSI.DMD is installed. If this driver is rem'd out as well the system stops booting when OS2LVM.DMD is installed. In all cases I can reboot with ctrl-alt-delete.

In addition to devices on the motherboard I have:

Adaptec 2940 UW. SoundBlaster? Live 5.1 (the resident Realtek AC97 is disabled). Saphire x1650 (ATI) PCI-E video card.

All drivers came with the install disk.

I have tried the following switches: /AFS /TMR. I have also tried several /DV:xx switches, but, there are many combinations and I have no idea of what to look for in determining the correct number(s) to use.

I have also tried the REMAP directive in the acpi.cfg file. If I understand the LINK_IRQ.doc file, the LINK directive will be of no help because there is no confusion of IRQ between PCI and PIC.

ACPI V3.01 and V3.02, system slows down so much that keyboard keys are missed

Description: I use a Thinkpad r40e. ACPI V3.01 does not shutdown the laptop I tried V3.02, but never did have the opportunity to try shutdown. The whole pc is massively slowed down. Mouse moves, and keystrokes are missed, the system is very unresponsive. Removing ACPI V3.xx fixes slowdown. The slowdowns are not consistent, only about once every 20 secs.

ACPI V2.13 and APM.add V1.06 work with this laptop with no major issues to report.

I suspect that this problem might be affecting netwk apps too.
