Ask Andrew Grover. I don't follow the ACPI threads. Having attempted to use ACPI both on Linux and other OS's I've given up. Adding a bloated interpreter for an obscure, misdesigned bios hardware description language is simply not my idea of progress. Its an extremely complicated way for intel to try and keep stuff like speedstep proprietary, nothing more. APM works nicely on all my Athlons.
