No idea on the second point. On the first point the answer currently is no; Mandrake stuck ACPI in the kernel but don't appear to have made any attempt at getting the appropriate modules loaded automatically. Which is dumb :). If you want them to load on boot, though, there's an easy way - just add their names to the /etc/modules file. This is just a plain text file of modules to start on boot, one module per line. -- adamw
