Re: acpi

Hello Kurt,
you need to apply the latest ACPI Patch to your
kernel, which you can get at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/
once you have applied this patch recompile your kernel
with ACPI support .
I am kacpi for my laptop and it works fine for me .
Its tells me the CPU temp. Battery status etc .
cheers
