Thank you. I understand. I have a hardcopy of ACPI spec and it would be tenS times as heavy as APM spec. ACPI is very large and complex system. When I wrote APM driver of FreeBSD, I wrote "get version" request function at first, but I felt that I have no idea how I start playing with this monster when I looked at ACPI spec first. BTW, I read ACPI4Linux page (http://phobos.fachschaften.tu-muenchen.de/acpi/index.html.en) and I found that they're not at far away. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Assistant Manager Information Technology Center, Keio University <hosokawa@itc.keio.ac.jp> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
