[tlinux-users:07298] Re: ACPI problems with a Sattelite L10

You may consider including in this discussion the people of 
ACPI4Linux[1], since they may be interested in this issue and so anyone 
else using a Satellite L10 might benefit from your findings.

I have one question. If the ACPI implementation is faulty in that 
laptop, how does it works in Win32?

Good luck!
Cheers,

	Manuel.
