Ok - what do I need to do to try this new acpi stuff out? I'm running
-current as of Nov 14th, and I'd like to help debug/test this on my
notebook..



cvsup to -current as of today would be a good first start. The code was
committed Nov 15. Then boot with acpi enabled and post the output of
sysctl hw.acpi.cpu. You can try different levels by doing sysctl
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest=x where x is 0...(number_supported_states - 1)


Thanks! I've rebuilt and am happy to say that nothing is hosed and I booted successfully :)

Here's my sysctl output:
$ sysctl hw.acpi.cpu
hw.acpi.cpu.max_speed: 8
hw.acpi.cpu.current_speed: 4
hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed: 8
hw.acpi.cpu.economy_speed: 4
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/85 C3/185
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: 0
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_history: 23589/0 0/0 0/0 0/0

I played with the different levels a bit, and can't tell much difference in them. Let me know what else I can try to break with this. Just for the info, I booted with a/c plugged in, but did the sysctl running on battery.

Thanks Nate for the hints..
Eric
