I compiled 2.4.17 after applying the patch at : acpi.sf.net Now if I don't insmod the ospm_ec module, but load the battery and ac_adapter modules I get some information in /proc/acpi/batter/1/info and /proc/acpi/batter/1/status. Though the gnome battery monitor applet will only show 0% battery. The problem is that the themal zone module won't load. Has anybody else seen this? I had to enable development code in the kernel to compile this. It says that one should have the thermal zone running or the processor may overheat, so I'm a bit nervouse about this. Do anybody know how the fan works on the laptop. I mean does the ACPI turn off fans, or does the hardware regulate the fans if the machine gets hot? Thanks in advance. -- Preben Randhol «For me, Ada95 puts back the joy in programming.»
