Re: HEADS UP: ACPI update - thermal management

2001-07-02 Thread Vladimir Kushnir 

Hello,
Here's some experience with ACPI. It does work (which is good :-) but for
some reason it turns off computer (always from under X) at rather low
temperatures with emergency shutdown. How could I debug ACPI to provide
more details?

Regards,
Vladimir

If you want people to test this they should be able to compile it ;-)
I suggest you add the missing 'dev/acpica/acpi_powerres.c optional acpica'
to sys/conf/files
