BIOS on Latitude CPt C/CPi R (Rev. A14)
Hello.
I have observed the next issues on my Dell Latitude CPi R400GT after upgrading it to the latest BIOS release (A14): 1. There is a problem recovering current Font mode (normal, or expanded) when returning from BIOS setup: the current font mode should be restored, but it changes to expanded. It worked fine in previous BIOS releases (at least with rev. A08). 2. Key code 3Ah is added to keyboard buffer when returning from BIOS setup: I have observed this problem with NetBSD 1.6.1, it probably happens with other operating systems too. I am not running Windows. Enhancements: 1. When an Admin password is locking the BIOS setup, creating an access password should not be possible: this way, the owner of a Dell's laptop is able to protect it against unauthorized modifications (not only in BIOS configuration, and owner ID string, but also unauthorized creation of boot passwords by other users.) Any feedback on those issues will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Igor. -- Igor Sobrado, UK34436 - |
