ACPI Support Coming to Haiku


Mmm battery status on those laptops under Haiku! It'll be nice to know how much energy our laptops are using under Haiku. The older driver didn't seem to work to well, at least when enabling it in the kernel settings, Haiku would always crash at some point for me.

Clemens Ziedler appears to be working on an ACPI driver for Haiku based on BSD's. He can now actually shut off his laptop without using the power button, and get the battery's status... :-D

This is functionality that will definitely be worth the effort :-)

great ! I guess with the future wifi driver and this, we'll be able to say that haiku is a perfect nettop OS (I'm already using it on my eeepc 701 ! ), and communicate on that (spread info on nettop related websites, for example).

thank you Clemens !
