I could imagine that there are quite big needs in this area for server computing. I think this is what you are interested in, from ACPI 1.0b spec. contents; 12. THERMAL MANAGEMENT 12.1 Thermal Control 12.1.1 Active, Passive, and Critical Policies 12.1.2 Dynamically Changing Cooling Temperatures 12.1.3 Hardware Thermal Events 12.1.4 Active Cooling Strength 12.1.5 Passive Cooling Equation 12.1.6 Critical Shutdown You can get ACPI spec. documents from http://www.teleport.com/~acpi/spec.htm # I haven't checked ACPI spec 2.0 yet though :-) Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
