Well, I can't tell for sure... ACPI is supposed to offer better power management and battery usage for laptops, while being more flexible than APM. The truth is that on my laptop, both work equally well but since ACPI is still less mature than APM, I chose to use ACPI in order to test it and helping in its future development. > > I am using Kernel 2.6.7 > > I see ACPI eats up an IRQ and does not share it: I wouldn't mind about IRQ's... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
