Well, that didn't work ;/

Maybe it is true, but we both know that HP cares only about  windows users.

So, as I understand, there is little (or no?) chance that my problem
will be sloved in next release. Thanks for everyone who tried to help
me. I have last question- why linux implemenation of acpi works on
this laptop? I thought  that all unix based systems have similar acpi
implementation...

cheers, Kuba
