OK. Hmmm, I wonder if there's an emacs variable for that ...

You're starting to worry me! I am using 2.6.7 which was installed by
sarge-i386-netinst-daily-build.iso (04/08/04). I wish it were otherwise but
I haven't knowingly changed any of those settings :-/
On the whole it's working well. A few things are bugging me, like the fan only
coming on with a reboot, and sleep/suspend functionality entirely lacking.
(This may simply be because I haven't figured out how to get them working yet,
beyond passing acpi=force as a kernel boot-parameter to enable acpi).
Have you got these working on your Inspiron?
