I'm heavily using my Dell 8k6 with freebsd releng_5 only. At the moment I'm= =20 not that in to ACPI stuff, but I played around a bit and was really=20 dissattisfied with some issues:=20 =46irst of all the thermal zones can't be configured as I would like to. It= 's=20 possible to give values to the _ACx syscons, but they won't affect anything= =20 for it's not possible to toggle the active switch. This has the effect that= =20 my fan turns on at about 38=B0C (way to early for a centrino) and - this is= =20 worst - never stops. I'm not sure about acpi in this case. I often read abo= ut erroneous aml tables, dumped mine but couldn't read anything out of it. S3 doesn't work here, too. At the moment it doesn't change anything at all = if=20 I close the display (and by doing so press the switch). But it did before.= =20 There were some problems with bringing back my XDesktop, but at least it di= d=20 something. Is it possible to toggle this behaviour by syscon or anything=20 related? I was told about a windows tool, I8KFANGUI (http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/),= =20 which sounded to me like it was interesting to port or at least to look at.= =20 But on the page it's said that the tool was allready ported to *BSD by Dami= r=20 Lampa, the provided link is dead. Where to start? I would like to put some time and code into that, but so fa= r=20 didn't really get a got starting point ...=20 =2D-=20 Best regards =46lorian H=FCbner /"\ =A0 =A0florian@love2party.net | flowRE@Efnet \ / =A0 =A0UIN #88925304 =A0x =A0 =A0 ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - http://arc.pasp.de/ / \ =A0 =A0Against HTML email & vCards
