I recently upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 on a PCG-GRX580, works fine. In fact, with acpid loaded, klaptopdaemon works under KDE now to show battery/AC status. Go for it.
Thanks for the info .. and ACPI is definitely working? correctly?
All on-board peripherals (network, sound, USB) work correctly, and the /proc/acpi entries are correct. klaptop can detect correctly charge state of the batteries, which is critical for me. Since I don't use suspend/hibernate, I can't say if they would work or not. I have not ever had heat/fan/CPU problems, even under 8.1. Under 8.1, I never got klaptop to work even with acpid loaded, so I used akpi, which displayed values for temps, etc, no problems. Here is what my boot messages look like: Loading ACPI modules (ac fan processor battery thermal button ) <6>ACPI: AC Adapter [ACAD] (on-line) <6>ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2, 2 performance states, 8 throttling states) <6>ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present) <6>ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT2] (battery absent) <6>ACPI: Thermal Zone [ATF0] (39 C) <6>ACPI: Lid Switch [LID] <6>ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB] I have the DVD/CD-RW drive working in ide mode, rather than SCSI-emulation and burning works just fine with cdrecord. I use Xine for watching DVDs (I did have to download libdvd and libcss from packman.de), and xmms for playing CDs. Everything just works. Mark Almeida
