What is ACPI, exactly?
Dear All,
I've been tinkering around with ACPI on my T30 laptop.
Got it works for everything that suppose to work (Thermal, Fan,
AC/Battery, even got cpufreq just fine).
I've even use iasl to dump and test compile the aml. No errors no
warnings. So I guess, My DSDT is fine.
But, my head already got used to the term Power Management as a way for
me to have (at least) suspend to work on my machine.
Which, till now, I can't get ACPI to suspend nicely.
Suspend to RAM don't put my backlight off. I tried Suspend-to-Disk
feature, it was nice for a couple of time. Until I realize it doesn't
update hwclock where it should.
And my xfs filesystem gone mad after a while. Which bring another
headache for me, because I put boot and root on same partition, It's not
that easy to just xfs_repair my root partition right? Fortunately, I
always keeps knoppix around.
One other thing, what is ECDT?
I got these messages about it:

I really like ACPI for now at least. Cause it doesn't made my fan
turning around all the time as I have with APM. But I hate to turn off
my laptop everytime I went around. Feels like desknote.
Anyone have anything for me?
TIA.
