Ok I had the impression that it was that the ACPI wasn't mature enough. Anyway I'm glad I cannot change the fan and termal as I don't want my laptop to overheat. The battery is not so much needed either as first the light becomes red and then after 10-15 min it start blinking and then you know it is time to turn off. :-) > otoh, APM isn't _broken_ on the i2500 - it doesn't even exist.
