[Bug 46369] Re: Regression: Flight7 doesn't use ACPI anymore on my Gericom laptop and APM is broken

[Paul Sladen]

The BIOS release date on this machine is:
  Release Date: 07/15/97       

which means ACPI isn't off because of the year 2000 cut-off.  ACPI
apparently actually works on this machine;  please force it to be used
based on:

   System Information
	Manufacturer: NETWORK
	Product Name: 1AAJG                           

** Changed in: acpi-support (Ubuntu)
