With ACPI "smart" batteries, we're currently spending long enough on querying batteries that people are losing keystrokes. The same is true of several crummy APM implementations. On the other hand, I agree that it makes sense to leave polling in userspace rather than the kernel. Once we go tickless on portable hardware, there's going to be a pretty huge incentive to fix userspace in any case. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
