I'm using ACPI as of 20020503, that version is running just fine for me.
There have been several updates on acpi.sf.net in the meantime, so i
guess ACPI has been improved a lot in the meantime...

ACPI gives me quite a lot of data about my hardware, and i can use the
power button to trigger a clean shutdown of the machine; enter sleep
mode when i close the lid etc.

Greetings,
Erich
