Sorry for the lack of clarity.  I meant the following:

 1. Please attach "acpidump" output.

 2. Please blacklist the eeepc-wmi module and test without the
    acpi_osi=Linux parameter.

 3. Using data from the above two steps, I will be ready to prepare
    a patch and instructions for testing (which will involve
    building and installing a Debian package).

Thanks again,
Jonathan
