Sounds to me like you are first telling me it's trivial, and then going
on to explain just how _non_ trivial it actually is!
:-)
I realise roughly what the patch would look like, but the devil is in
the details. Personally I couldn't see myself providing a patch like
that until I had a laptop that forced me to use ACPI, or if ACPI matured
enough to give me better functionality in other areas - the ability to
control fans, read sensors and so forth. My current beast is 18 months
old and works very well with APM.
Maybe someone else will have that itch and scratch it before I even get
bitten :-)
Cheers,
Andrew.
