Some ACPI support is in the 2.4.22 kernel, you can dl the source from Debian Sid and compile your own. I am not sure if the Kernel people need to know about this as ACPI support (or lack of) is a known issue for 2.4 kernels. The 2.6 kernel has better ACPI support, some or all? has been backported to 2.4.22, afaik. For a newer version of XFree or other packages that aren't in Woody you need to use 'unofficial backports' of which there are quite a few sites to choose from. http://www.apt-get.org/ has lists of these sites. - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/obQmk7rtxKWZzGsRAgEEAKC1hIUn2vYN4lf326OMy4ffk03F6QCguFsj +UomQJXRRATjH7zfDTg0rB4= =3TR6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
