bit of a beginner WRT to ACPI so i want to install the "appropriate" packages on my fedora rawhide system to play with ACP, and there appear to be a number of them: $ yum search acpi acpi.x86_64 : Command-line ACPI client acpica-tools.x86_64 : ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables acpid.x86_64 : ACPI Event Daemon acpid-sysvinit.x86_64 : ACPI Event Daemon acpitool.x86_64 : Command line ACPI client claws-mail-plugins-acpi-notifier.x86_64 : ACPI notification plugin for Claws Mail libacpi.i686 : General purpose library for ACPI libacpi.x86_64 : General purpose library for ACPI libacpi-devel.i686 : Development files for libacpi libacpi-devel.x86_64 : Development files for libacpi wmacpi.x86_64 : Dockapp for laptop acpi/apm information yacpi.x86_64 : Yet Another Configuration and Power Interface $ currently, i can see the [acpi_thermal_pm] kernel thread running, and i have *none* of the above packages installed. are some of these packages obsoleted or superseded by some of the others? what is the state of the art WRT ACPI in userspace? just trying to figure out which packages are relevant and which aren't. thanks. rday p.s. i did find this web page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AcpicaTools which i am perusing right now. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
