Hi,

I'm not sure to understand. There is no direct control of the fans by ACPI, but
when I rmmod the ACPI thermal module, the fans keep the state before removing
it (they stay on if they were on, off if they were off) whatever the real CPU
temperature. So yes, there is no direct control of the fans, but without ACPI
the fans don't work at all. Did I miss something?

I have a funny behaviour (hm... not really funny, just strange). Under 2.6.24,
I use the new ACPI API, in /sys not in /proc. The file
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/battery/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now makes
sense, before and after sleeping/hibernating. But the new API is labelled
"*Future* power /sys interface" and everything is not finished: some features
are still in /proc, for example thermal.
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature makes sense before
sleeping/hibernating, but not after.

Maybe is the new ACPI API updating the infos after sleeping in /sys but not
those in /proc. Maybe it's just a coincidence, because Milan seems to be using
the old API and /proc/acpi/battery is updated.

Moreover, before or after sleeping, HAL is not updating my battery charge even
if /sys/bus/.../battery/.../charge is updated. Gnome seems to use value,
because it does not update the charge neither. If I restart HAL, the charge is
updated once but never updated after. It seems to be a HAL bug, but... At
least, I answered the questions I asked in #8.

Well, I'm not pessimistic but it seems to be a complex problem... If anyone
needs informations, I'm ready to test, report or compile anything useful, just
ask.

Thanks...
