Maybe, but I do not see any difference between 100 and 1000 hz on 2.6.13-rc5. With 2.6.13(from rc4) I do not get "crazy jumps" like in 2.6.12 or later, only freezes for 1 second. > You may try to talk to ACPI people; also I recommend setting battery > polling interval to something sane, like 1 minute, and make sure your > tool does not touch "info" file - that should help a bit. Where can I find "ACPI people" ?
