No, I think FreeBSD needs an acpid because it has a apmd, and this gives the user freedom and flexibility to do whatever he wants, and do something with acpi events in userland if he pleases. I don't know if Linux has a acpid or what features it has, and I don't care. > Most of the other things that an 'acpid' would do are specific > examples of more general classes of events, for which software > should be able to request notification and handle it accordingly. That would be excellent. I don't see how any application would be able to do something before a sleep operation this way though. If the kernel was to wait for every app. requesting this, it would cause trouble. > = Mike Mvh, Frode Nordahl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
