Our stable kernel has no ACPI. So? We expect people to need a recompile in some cases. IPv6 won't work with our packaged kernels (IPv6 as a module has never really worked).

Maybe I'm just lucky, but my 1.2 GHz athlon is <40°C with only stock kernel solutions (i.e. ACPI). I don't see the point in a user space kludge to get around something that a simple kernel rebuild will fix. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
