On a slightly related note, I've always been a bit bemused by the this message: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver What is an "ACPI driver"? (AFAIK, ACPI is built into the BIOS of a system and interpreted by the OS; I've never heard of an ACPI driver.) Is there any hardware for which ACPI actually provides the same level of information that "legacy" access does? Every system I've dealt with over the last few years provides a single temperature reading via ACPI (generally CPU surface temperature) -- no other temperatures, no fans, no voltages. Am I buying the wrong stuff?
