>(With some advice from this list) I have ACPI running on an Inspiron 8200 >using the nv (Free) XFree86 driver. Halt and suspend to disk function as >expected. I'm running an unpatched 2.6.7 kernel. I'm running Inspiron 8000 - my solution so far was to use ACPI=off, now machine shuts down okay. I am running 2.4.26 maybe ACPI is better in 2.6 but I get other errors with 2.6.5 in Knoppix. John
