hi Frederik, I;'ve tried this kernel version and the patch.. without any luck: still no battery (This on an ACER 5024WLMi, by the way.. what irritates me is that I just booted from the Ubuntu live CD, and did see the battery.. Would you be so kind as to post or mail your kernel configuration ? Also: the Ubuntu distribution has a 1280x800 resolution on this hardware, which I can't seem to reproduce (At least, not with the modern Xfree config.. ) Could some one give me a pointer to a working configuration ? (I used to be able to compute modelines by hand. Don't see anywhere I can put a modeline these days.) Thanks in advance TimT.
