Everything is working for me here, my fan goes on when things need to cool down etc. The only problem is the lack of frequency scaling which will hopefully allow me to have a longer battery life than what I'm currently experiencing. http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/power/ Only includes things like meters on how long you have left, but doesnt actually manage the power in a way to maximise battery life, such as lowering the frequency when it isn't required to be at maximum speed - for example.
