I got several reports that compiling psmouse as module and unload it explicitly on shutdown helps to fix things on newer HPs. E.g. this report: About the fan and battery issue, there are three workaround: - Turn off the machine and quit battery, Place the battery again. - Next time you turn on the machine, turn it off during post. - "modprobe -r psmouse" (after compiling psmouse as a module) before shutdown the machine. Next time you turn on the machine, battery status is working. Not sure about the fans... http://www.wolframschenck.de/nx6325.htm#sect3 Similar introduction in German: http://home.no/slazz/nx6310/nx6310.html Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
