Did some other kernel version work, or not?
Comment 2 dt 2008-02-13 02:53:29 UTC 
Nope, hasn't worked yet.  Been trying since 2.6.19 and with app-laptop/acpi4asus (which is now depreciated).
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-13 07:05:43 UTC 
Looks like some to take upstream then. ;)
Comment 4 dt 2008-02-13 07:52:56 UTC 
How do I do that?  At kernel.org?
Comment 5 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2008-02-24 21:52:46 UTC 
Similar bug?

Comment 6 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-24 23:02:23 UTC 
Looks similar but there is not really any solid info there. Also ACPI is so machine-dependent that it needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis.
This is because the ACPI code tables effectively define the code needed to query the lid state, and the ACPI tables vary drastically from system to system.
Comment 7 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-07 16:54:56 UTC 
Are there any BIOS updates available for your laptop?
Can you reproduce this on the latest development kernel, currently v2.6.26-rc5?
Comment 8 dt 2008-06-08 00:46:30 UTC 
There was a BIOS update from late Feb but it says only 
"Fix system would lag while we were copying data from SD card to HDD".  

I am scared to use it as it is a Windows Vista only utility and trying something like that on my BIOS from wine is like... uuuuhh no thanks.

My kernel is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5, but I will try with your suggested kernel as soon as I can.
Comment 9 dt 2008-06-21 01:27:15 UTC 
Just tried with vanilla-sources-2.6.26-rc6 and still no go.
Comment 10 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2008-07-05 20:16:26 UTC 
What graphical driver are you using?
Comment 11 dt 2008-07-07 17:43:08 UTC 
ati-drivers
Comment 12 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2008-07-13 01:20:52 UTC 
Some have reported success when using the vesa driver. Would you mind testing with this driver?
Comment 13 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2008-08-19 17:21:31 UTC 
Can you test with a development kernel please.

git-sources-2.6.27_rc3-rX or later if available.

Yep, sorry for late response, been traveling my ass off.  I will try with latest dev kernel as soon as I got a day free.
