[lug] ACPI Questions

 Hi all,

 I have gotten a Compaq presario notebook (1700 series). I would like to
know if Linux supports ACPI. The reason is because I believe that the CPU
fan in my notebook is controlled via ACPI. It hasn't come on since I
installed Linux and the notebook gets really hot. I have looked in the BIOS
but, in true compaq fashion, theres nothing there except BIOS password
setup. I am working with SuSE 7.1 with the 2.4 kernel. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Prescott
