Re: inspiron 5150 and 2.4.24 kernel

Hi,
i have an Inspiron 5150 and had 2.4.24 running some time ago. ACPI did
not work properly, even with the acpi-patch applied. For
usb-mouse-support, i used discover and it worked all fine (assuming that
you have enabled usb-support and loaded all necessary modules).
Meanwhile, i upgraded my bios to the latest Dell-version, and i fear
that something went wrong with the dsdt in that version as the new
kernel (2.6.1) doesn't read the performance-states correctly. After
all, i got acpi (or cpufreq) working with 2.6.1 and cpufreqd. When not
using multimedia-stuff extensively, i got a battery-runtime of
approximately 4 hours which is longer than under windows.
For further questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
Hope that helps,
Dirk
PS: In case you do not upgrade and get 2.6.1 working, it would be nice
to inform me if the performance-states are read correctly.
