| |
I have enabled ACPI on my Dell GX1 (Pentium 3/500MHZ) machine and disabled APM, however, what are the benefits of using ACPI over APM?
I am using Kernel 2.6.7
I see ACPI eats up an IRQ and does not share it:
$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 64997374 XT-PIC timer 1: 10 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 2625 XT-PIC Crystal audio controller 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC acpi 10: 277489 XT-PIC ide2 11: 11465050 XT-PIC ide4, ide5, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 12: 58 XT-PIC i8042 14: 307536 XT-PIC ide0 15: 53 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 65007290 ERR: 0 MIS: 0
