ACPI patch does nothing

hi, I'm trying get to work battery monitoring on my Acer Aspire 5024 laptop so I patch my kernel with ACPI patch but it does nothing.
Kernel is succesfully patched but there is no new ACPI options in General Setup and I still can't monitor battery. I tried this patch on 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 (on this kernel even poweroff doesn't work, patched or not) kernels. I have AMD 64-bit processor.

Do you have a timer problem too? Have a look at bugzilla.kernel.org BUG#3927.

I'm using noacpitimer as a kernel parameter so I don't have this problem but without it my clock time is bad

Maybe you should follow the dev on this thread. Might be helpful when solved.

Did you ever try to have a look at your DSDT? I have an AMD64/ATI-IXP laptop and it has 25 errors and 3 warnings at recompile. Currently working on this. I think your problem starts there.

Take a look at this URL :
