--- Comment #5 from Del <delo...@gmail.com> 2009-11-25 13:48:58 --- Thanks for reopening the report Len, I highly appreciate all help on this issue! I did dig further into the DSDT patch after I posted, helped by pointers from Andi Kleen, so if I get the opportunity I may get to it and try out some DSDT patches. I have been in steady dialogue with Compal's Bios developers since this report, and I hope they will follow through with a Bios update. If so, I will make sure to update the information here immediately. Before I posted this bug-report I contacted Cezary Jackiewicz, the developer of the compal-laptop module, this was his response on the issue: "Sorry, this compal probably need some kernel stuff to recognize hardware switch/buttons etc. My module based only on acpi structures; hardware switches overwrite this." One main issue that I haven't tracked down is that power saving features does not work. More precisely, the cpu does not seem to throttle down, and I am not sure about the gpu either. So the battery time is reduced to approximately half of expected. The laptop is currently not in my possession, but I will acquire the /proc/acpi/video and /sys/class/backlight listing shortly anyway, and report back on those.
