Description
When I first installed Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite P100 Notebook sound and the rest of the ACPI features where a mess.
It took me hours of reading and try and error until I figured out how to fix the ACPI support.
I know the fault lays at the hardware supplier but is there no way to have some testing tool to find and fix all the ACPI functions?

i have a problem at shutdown, my computer does not stop itself (display still active with the last stage of shutdown sequence and fans work), but the hard drive does stop and all it takes to complete the process is a final press of the power buton on the front panel.

[quote]It’s the moment I’ve been dreading all week, when I realize that I’ve hit a wall with Ubuntu and can go no further. Today, the wall in question is ACPI support, which in version 7.10 is simply broken.
Install “Gutsy” onto a notebook computer (take your pick of make/model – the problem seems to transcend the major brands), execute a suspend/resume cycle (for example, by closing and reopening the screen/lid), and wham! You’re in the Linux ACPI twilight zone.
In my case, the result is a kind of “black screen of death,” with no way to recover outside of a hard power-off/reboot. Worse still, there’s no known fix. I spent the better part of my Saturday trolling through the various discussion and newsgroups. I saw hundreds of posts (the “official” tracking thread on Ubuntu’s own support forums runs over a dozen pages), most echoing the same or similar experiences. Clearly, this is no isolated configuration problem.[/quote]
