[ACPI-sppt] Compaq 1700T Battery now works - Just one little thing

Hey,

	First I would like to thank for the help everyone gave me in
this list.

	I have a Compaq 1700T notebook, which is a Pentium III 1GHz with
ACPI support.

	To get ACPI working, I had to dump the DSDT table from BIOS and
change it. I'm sending the fixed DSDT table as attachment, It may help
people that got a Compaq 1700 or compatible.

	The change was in \_OSI that required at least one parameter,
and had none. Otherwise, it would fail.

	I installed it under kernel 2.4.21 with the lastest ACPI patch
(RC3) and the lastest over-20030109 patch (to use custom DSDT table). 

	The only thing that's kinda buggy now are the ACPI compatible
software. KDE battery status on tray ACPI wont get my battery status.
Gkrellm shows at 46% when my batt is full, but well, better than
nothing. And the OSPMD software is kinda lame, isent it ? It compiled
with a big font and the status is all buggy.

	Is there any good software, or kernel patch, to show ACPI info
in a way the programs could read it correctly ? The kde tray thing would
be a nice thing to get working...

	Btw, my Radeon Mobility M6 tv out works just fine with Fn + tv
out button.

Well that's it

Thanks

Fernando Jr
