so, the act of loading acpi.ko implements a callback for the bios that
informs it that an acpi cognizant os is available?
it seems to me that i would like to tell it to not use acpi and stick with
smi because if i dont load acpi the buttons work almost perfectly. the
only bit of grief i have is that without acpi, the powerbutton shuts off
hard instead of performing a shutdown

some do, some dont, suspend get's responded to, power button get's
responded to.
what commands do i use to break on buttons in acpidb?
