One thing that I was talking about with Mike Smith is that perhaps instead of having a /dev/power just for power management stuff we should be a bit more generic and have a /dev/health used for anything related to the machine's "health"? This could include power management, thermal zones, etc. BTW, the battery status doesn't work on my laptop unfortunately, but that is because I have to have the Super IO (and thus all GPIO) disabled to get ACPI to boot. :( > Thanks -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
