Re: recommended VAIO for ACPI hacking (Re: cvs commit: www/en/releases/5.0Rtodo.sgml)

Hi,

I have an VAIO FX601, and ACPI never worked.

I get a lot of errors related to ACPI during boot and acpidump also 
prints errors.

After suspending the laptop, the system never wakes-up, display still 
stays black.

So this ACPI BIOS seems to be completely buggy,

bye,

Hi,



According to Mitsuru IWASAKI:


If your ACPI BIOS check OS type (try; acpidump | grep _OS_), you might
need to do something.  The black list feature (for non-Windows) might be
good idea for avoiding confusion.


Will try tonite when I'll have my laptop.



Thanks.



Also, development resources are limited.  For example, none of ACPI
developers has VAIO.


Well, I don't know enough to be a developper but I do have a VAIO (Z600TEK)
and can test things. Just ask.



BTW, I'm planning to buy VAIO (maybe used one) to improve ACPI support.
Any recommendations?
# Recommendation means some sort of `Sigh!  My VAIO doesn't work with
# ACPI at all!!' :-)

Thanks

 Here is the result. The first check is there and there are several others

I also have similar problems in my ASL from the IBM T23.
