Thanks mellon2003! I tried what you said and the acpi appears to work, only there are other problems: 1) how do i enter any of the suspension modes without being root? is it even possible? because let's face it, the root mode in mandrake is horrible... 2) i still can't make the battery last for the normal 2,5 hours. how do i solve that? 3) i seem to have problems accessing the cdrom and floppy drives! i don't even find a way to mount them! how do i this? Thanks in advance!

here's the thing: i have tried mandrake 9.2 but i can't seem to make my laptop standby and/or shutdown properly... also the battery lasts an hour less than with windows. how do i solve this??
