| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 1 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 2 |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 3 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for Linux requires an |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 4 ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware), and assumes the presence of |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 5 OS-directed configuration and power management (OSPM) software. |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 7 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several legacy |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 8 configuration and power management interfaces, including the Plug-and-Play BIOS |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 9 specification (PnP BIOS), the MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 10 Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support are |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 11 configured, ACPI is used. |

| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 13 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here: |

| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 16 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI Component |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 17 Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the ACPI CA, see: |

| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 20 ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 21 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently, it is |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 22 developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under the UEFI Forum |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 23 and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute to the ACPI specification. |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 24 The specification is available at: <http://www.acpi.info> |
