FW: Notebook compatability with FC12 x86_64.

[Miguel Angel Perez]

Hi Márcio,

Seems that you got a not-well-supported laptop. Googling around a bit i've
seen that a lot of people needed to disable acpi to make it work, so if you
did that don't expect any acpi-related thing to work.

Maybe you could attach those messages in next posts, maybe someone has a
clue about them. You can do this in a console to get the messages into a
file:

     dmesg > dmesg.txt

If 64-bit distro version is not working properly for you maybe 32-bit
version will do it, ¿did you tried?
