If you want to run -current, then you can run ACPI on | the 5000e to get some things like battery status and temperature reporting | (with some patches I hope to commit soon) and also things like the power | button turning the machine off after performing a clean shutdown, etc. Okay I got a question, how do you read the temperature and stuff like that? Is there a userland program that does this? I see some sysctl stuff: m201% sysctl -a | grep -i acpi debug.acpi_debug_layer: 0 debug.acpi_debug_level: 0 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S4B hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: S1 m201% and man -k acpi only list: m201% man -k acpi acpiconf(8) - control ACPI power management acpidump(8) - dump ACPI tables m201% of which neither as far as I can tell displays this info. Is there a generic program to display and deal with ACPI stuff? I guess I could write a specific application to read this stuff but I thought there would be userland tools like apm that would just dump things out. Confused, Doug (ACPI Challenged) A.
