In my case. (Compaq Armada) ACPI doesn't work but APM is flawless. In fact ACPI doesn't work under other OS's either. So no loss. It really seems to be an LG problem. A number of Laptops like mine don't quite follow the spec or followed a test spec and so don't work right. I've two dells at work we use for mobile demo's Same model one is just a version up from the other (xp and ixp or something like that) One works with acpi one with apm. James
