And ACPI has still bugs - eg. it crashes when APM is available too, and in the AC series it is completeley unfunctional, the driver does not start. > automatically.

It essentially puts out no heat at ...so I compared lvcool, the vcool-kernel-patch (hack from lvcool code in the PCI handling) and ACPI's "Processor manager" in kernel. Results: the CPU with no extra stuff, just APM and HLT-when-idle has about 55°C. With ACPI, it has about 50-52°C. With the vcool-kernel-hack about 45-48°C, and with the LVcool <40°C. All this on typical work - mail reading, make breaks, typing something, running some script from time to time. IMHO this kernel-space solutions are not aggressive enough, LVcool does better job.
