Description

We currently have full support for ACPI 1.0 and some support for ACPI 2.0.

We should get full support for ACPI 2.0 and also try to get full support for ACPI 3.0b.

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an open industry standard that defines common interfaces for hardware recognition, motherboard and device configuration and power management.

What advantages does ACPI 3.0b etc. have?

If I get it right, it's not the question of advantages, it's a question of compatibility.

I thing this comes close to what I tried to suggest in http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3254/

Trouble is supporting the "industry standard" isn't worth much when every notebook manufacturer does its own faulty implementation of the "industry standard".
