I'm used to have conky showing information such as frequency and temperature (I didn't know there was no thermal sensor) for example, and acpitool to suspend. I agree to suspend one can directly set /sys/power/state to disk, and I use it, but I had to cerate a wrapper that prior turns network off, and after turns network on, otherwise network is lost. That usually was covered by acpitool -S, of course having acpi enabled. So not necessarily needed, but for me it's been there for other architectures, so I kind of missed acpi stuff. Didn't know it was not required at all. I just noticed I didn't have acpi support, and the few acpi tools available didn't work, :-) That's why I mentioned non smart question, perhaps I should have mentioned dumb one instead, :-) Thanks, -- Javier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "loongson-dev" group.
