To be exact it was 2.6.9-gentoo-r13 and 2.6.10 vanilla that worked. It seems to me that certain functions of the ACPI are better off left alone as overriding them just causes trouble. For example: when there is no ACPI support in kernel closing the lid switches the display off and Fn+F3 brings me to BIOS settings. Once ACPI is loaded though these functions don't seem to work. So maybe they shouldn't be overridden until it is known that the overriding code in the kernel ACPI works well enough to handle it? Or maybe sysctl could be used to switch between BIOS and kernel ACPI to be in charge of turning off the display and such? Respect, Igor
