Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Basically, ./test_off.sh script "works!" on different part of the test in my case but I'm not sure what does that mean, really. Could someone explain what these acronyms (ie. \_SB.PCI0.P0P1.PEGP._OFF) exactly mean? -- Dawid 'evad' Lorenz * http://dawid.lorenz.co null:// I haven't lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere
