Hi,
i am very confused with ACPI, although i have read some things; nothing seems to be standard! I am running 2.6.16-2-k7 Etch on Sempron 2800+ on a MSI KM4AM. I am planning to use it as a firewall/router. Here are some questions:
-ACPI is just a "frontend" to the -whichever- power management, which can be done via the BIOS; one however can change the settings on the fly. Having set, that suspend and HD shutdown is to be done after X minutes is the same either by doing it from the BIOS or from the ACPI. True? Is this true however, that i can change ACPI behavior by enlisting for example events/functions , which specifically disable ACPI or events, which can "wake-up" the PC?
-What Debian concerns, there are a bunch of scripts in /etc/acpi. Which of the them are active? Do i have to place them inside /etc/acpi/events or /etc/acpi/events.ignore to be de/activated? Are these scripts supposed to explicitly manipulate /proc/acpi/ files?
-What does this output mean? I think it means that ACPI is running, but no action is taken; all its functions are esseintially diabled. Is this true?
Code:
polideukis:/home/kostas# cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info
processor id: 0
acpi id: 0
bus mastering control: no
power management: no
throttling control: no
limit interface: no
Thanks
