I can at least confirm that the acpi in the 2.6.1 gentoo-dev-sources behaves a bit strangely. I don't get any battery stats ind /proc nor can I use any utilities in KDE.
However, I found the acpi in 2.6.0 working without problem on this Dell Latitude 500m. Well, at least with the cpu frequency scaling and battery stats.
I didn't got any usefull standby to work, which is a shame and the reason why I mostly run WinXP on his laptop in the every day use, enjoying Gentoo only at long work shifts.
As a side note, during typical work (read: surfing, for example), the laptop consumes approx 14 W with WinXP, the same with linux goes up to around 19 W. Apparently the acpi driver system is on a high level in the MS world, way to go... Of course, there's potential, I'm no acpi guru.

Hi all,
My problem is because the acpi system don't work in the new kernel 2.6.1, I am using the gento-dev-sources with the acpi system compiled in the kernel. When I was using the kernel 2.4.22 there was no problem and I could see the battery applet working. My computer is a Dell precision M60. Plese help.
Thanks --------- Jesus Mendez R.
