Product: acpi
Component: libsasl2-plug-ntlm
Summary: acpi modules not working on dell i8200 laptop
Version: 0.6-4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dell Inspiron i8200 laptop with Mandrake-9.1 RC2 and kernel-enterprise (mem=1024).
Exactly the same situation as with bug #2532 on an i8100.
No problems with acpi during install.
Shutdown/poweroff and reboot work perfectly.
But some/most of the acpi modules are not working!
I am not interested in the fact that suspend to ram/disk do not work and
hang the laptop at reboot. I don't use them.
But being able to see battery status is important (2 batteries in laptop)!
This is not working at all!
Neither is temperature: it always shows 25 C!
In this case (i8200) I am sure that the BIOS/ACPI is OK.
(even though I get the same messages in 'dmesg' as in #2532)
Everything worked flawlessly with WinXP when the laptop came.
This must be the Linux kernel acpi patch: not 'ripe' enough.
By the way wouldn't it be advisable to include a package like 'kacpi' for use
with acpi. Working with 'acpi' and '/proc/acpi' is a bit "primitive"
