Hello, This ACPI and patch *thing* has been very interesting. I had never used standard kernel source, only the Debian source. I had never used the patch command either. The whole experience was "learning by doing." Since I run Libranet (Debian made easy), I wanted to do this in such as way as to keep it both Debian and Libranet-centric. I've outlined all the steps I used in adding the ACPI patch (ck6) as well as the backports of some of the x enhancements from 2.5 experimental kernel tree (rmap, 020_int) here: http://libranetlinux.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=6067#6067 Thank you Jeremy for dropping the link to Con's kernel patch page, and of course, thank you Con for specific help!
