ACPI sucks on about everything under the sun right now, and there is very little anyone can do about it.
I have Compaq laptop (evo 150n) I works ok straight out of box (apart from 8.0 pro.. trident's display adapter / drivers to that sometimes caused the mouse pointer to get bit off focus..
Other grey areas I have experienced are ACPI and InfraRed, can't get it working with my Nokia phone.. even with latest Gnokii build fail to connect the phone, but I assume it's the BIOS setting that aren't flexible enough...
All in all I am still very pleased with my box and Linux on it.. (only linux on it nowadays)

Your good luck notwithstanding, the general recommendation I've seen posted many places it "Run away from Compaq like your hair is on fire". The few I've delt with couldn't even run windows properly. If your's is working, count your blessings, because most folks give up in disgust. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
