Is this one of the systems where telling ACPI that you are runningWindows makes things work better?

Ohh, I really don't know.
I'm still running XP because I need a working laptop, not a fried one ;-)
And in Windows everything works like a charm. Gosh, I hate this OS!
That's all I know about it.

Take care.

 Beware of ACPI, it's buggy with X200!!

 Richard Mace posted a thread about it a couple of months ago, IIRC.
 I don't know if you've got a HP nx6125 like Richard, me and some others
 but you'd better check your ACPI behaviour. If not monitored constantly,
 it could damage your CPU, since the fan won't start when it's supposed
 to.

Windows makes things work better?

Just my 2 cents.
Happy hacking!

  Any hints ?

 This is a known problem with ATI chipsets.  It is something that is
 being worked on in the kernel, and I believe as of 2.6.15 it is fixed
 for most systems.  If you are running sarge, you could grab a newer
 kernel from backports.org to try.

Thanks Len !

I have found a solution: you must add disable_timer_pin_1 in grub. Other 
solution was, to start without acpi. The first solution will start with acpi.
Now everything works o.k. However, i do not know, if the system is now more 
slowly. I could not proove it yet.

Best regards

Hans

It should run the same, except the clock should be correct now.
