devkit-power-daemon broken?

[Allann Jones]

Sometimes a BIOS firmware update solve these types of problems, a
update can be more ACPI-compatible. With the time, Linux kernel is
incorporating some BIOS tasks and fixing some bugs on some of these
BIOS.

Sometimes Linux or Fedora are innocents :)


Best regards.

not enough. My real education, the superstructure, the details, the
true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an
impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books, the
library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never
be sufficiently grateful that I had the wit to charge through that
door and make the most of it." (from I. Asimov, 1994)
