Battery & cpufreq problems with HP nc6320

Hi,

I've deliberatly used the same title as a previous message I saw in the archives from Mike Kasick, Thu, 25 May 2006 11:17:33 -0700.

(I've BCC'd Mike, although I apologise if I got the wrong Mike Kasick!)

I'm in a similar situation with my HP / Compaq nc6320, with battery status "hanging" after a little while of laptop use. (And speedstep issues, but that is another problem)

I discovered the patch at:

http://librarian.launchpad.net/3435574/the-patch.txt

Unfortunately I can't remember its origin. Some Ubuntu support forum I think.

I'm interested to know if this is an acceptable solution to fix the problem, or if it simply a workaround to a problem elsewhere.

Perhaps some ACPI guru might have some insight.

Regards

Peter Clifton
