Hi.... I just installed 9.1 on a laptop and I have to say its
the best mandrake distro ever.  congratulations and thank you to everyone
at mandrake for working hard on this release... its great.

i have some problems:

1. acpi doesn't want to read the battery status... even in 9.0 with apm
   it could not read battery status so it always says its at 0% or -1%
   this is a dell inspiron 8100 laptop... does anyone have a solution for
   this?

2. i tried to configure a scanner in DrakConf ... scanjet 4470C but it
says that this scanner is not supported by current version of mandrake...
does that mean there is no driver yet?... should i just wait until one is
out?

3. i have a D-Link AirPlus wireless pcmcia card ... it recognized it...
but there is no module availabe for it.. .smae thing?... no driver yet?

4. i have a buslink usb2.0 pcmcia card.. and a HD attached to it... it
came up recognized /dev/sda ... but when i tried mounting it..
it gave me something like: "cannot mount... bad superblock...or wrong fs
type...or too many mounted filesystems."  I'm not sure how ti fix this
because i've been trying since 9.0 and it gives me that same error.

5. XFree86 now has randr with 4.3... so how do i change the resolution on
the fly with mandrake?  i tried using randr and it changed the resolution
but the screen didn't properly resize.

any help would be great thanx.

congrats again mandrake
