Yes the system is usable in the case of a gpe storm etc..
as for the dimming part when using a macbook I use an app
called pommed, when unplugging the A/C adapter to go on "battery",
pommed will automatically dim the backlight. when the gpe storm is
triggered this is when I will se a longer pause when dimming than normally.
(thats all); in any case I don't think pommed is as big of an issue
as for the other posts I was reading. In my case I think I need to look at
the dsdt and see if I can find anything in there that might be of use.
