http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/acpica-bsd-20001008.tar.gz New in this patch: - Fixes for the EC code (error handling) - Fixes for power/sleep button handling (should work for both control method and fixed buttons) - Host:PCI bridges are now detected and attached using ACPI rather than by rummaging in PCI configuration space. (If this fails, we fall back to the old techniques). - Print the current temperature in detected thermal zones (just cosmetic, and reveals that some machines are a bit confused already). Comments, suggestions, bugfixes, etc. welcome as per usual. It looks like we will be switching to this codebase fairly soon (the acpi-jp folks have been discussing this), so anyone with an interest in it is encouraged to tinker. There is a known problem with this code and the Dell Inspiron 7500 (and possibly other laptops with similar BIOS AML) which I'm trying to fix. Don't expect it to work there yet. 8) -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
