I'm using one of the relatively recent RCs - perhaps 5=3F

Not sure about ACPI, although battery % seems to be showing OK. Shutdown =
produces one of 3 results:

- correct action - 4 beeps and then power off

- shutdown but then freeze with a blue(=3F) screen before power off

- Trap

Not a big hassle; using the power off button handles the 2nd and 3rd case=
s.

Sound works with no hassles.  Both wired and wireless are using genmac dr=
ivers; they have been solid.  I used 
gparted to shrink the XP partition and then dfsee to create a bunch of ot=
her partitions which I've formatted for eCS 
and Linux; I use FAT32 for data that is universally accessible.  USB work=
s with drives, mouse, and probably kbd 
(never tried).

Fn-F4 may not work from OS2 but I've set it in XP to use both displays an=
d that sticks.
