ACPI and VIA C3

[Ludwig Meyerhoff <ludwig@antar.de>]

Hallo!

I have a VIA C3 (Ezra) processor. It is very nice for "normal" 
applications, as it takes only a few watt.

I have a problem with the ACPI support of the kernel ...
While 2.4.20 recognizes the processor to support C1 and C2 states, the 
2.4.26 does not, as the 2.6.6 does not also.

AFAIK the ACPI support has been rewritten for the 2.6 kernel and 
backported to 2.4 in 2.4.23 or something ...

Now: does anyone know how I can achieve full ACPI support for my 
processor in a more recent kernel than 2.4.20? In special I would like 
to use frequency scaling/throttling, as most of the time my small 
computer does nothing.



Saluti!
