Hi there all,

For the Fujitsu U9200 part, I think the bug should be Closed and/or marked as Invalid or Won't release a Fix, or something like that. In the U9200 the BIOS has a bug, thus you had to override the BIOS tables with a custom one that would output the correct information.

But, the information in the (K)Ubuntu wiki won't work anymore: I think somewhere in the 9.10 release cycle the devs decided to ditch the initramfs custom DSDT patch. Which means that, in order to include a custom DSDT, you need to build a kernel and specify the initramfs there or build a kernel including the initramfs-dsdt patch which can be found at http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml However, the latest patch available is for 2.6.30 (patch date june 2009) and it doesn't seem that any more patches will be done..

I've found a thread that maybe can help you with the DSDT issues: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341580

I don't have that laptop anymore, so I can't test anything related to the U9200.

Good luck!
