Installing the 2.4.22 kernel (gentoo-test-sources) made all of my acpi problems go away -- and all of my system resource usage issues (real or perceived) go away too. :-) How long does it usually take for a package like gentoo-test-sources to be approved for the stable system? Thanks, -Luke On

Thanks - I'll give that a try, since the stock kernel seems to like to suck up a lot of CPU cycles at odd times. It's probably related to the ACPI hack that I used... I really like this system, though -- all of the advantages of Debian, except that I get access to free-as-in-beer software and I
