I'm using one of the relatively recent RCs - perhaps 5?

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(?) screen before power off

- Trap

Not a big hassle; using the power off button handles the 2nd and 3rd cases.

Sound works with no hassles.  Both wired and wireless are using genmac drivers; they have been solid.  I used
gparted to shrink the XP partition and then dfsee to create a bunch of other partitions which I've formatted for eCS
and Linux; I use FAT32 for data that is universally accessible.  USB works 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 and that sticks.
