It does not show up in the INDEX. Multiple pages of user documentation need to be written for the Handbook to show users how to accomplish basic tasks with ACPI. How do you suspend a laptop with ACPI? What different suspend options are available? What is the difference between them? How do you use CPU throttling? What do common ACPI error messages mean? This is a important new feature for FreeBSD 5.0, and we must document it before November. The terse information in the man pages is not good enough by a long shot. We need more user-oriented documentation on these features. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Add a new section for the handbook that covers ACPI. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
