Primero,

   If your box is like my compaq (Armada M700) then ACPI is build to an
interim draft not the final standard.  Does APM work for you?  I had to
drop back to it because like I said no matter what OS ... it doesn't
work right.  (my batt actually reads 0 no matter what I do, even if I
remove events entirely.)
