    "ACPI (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
      standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
      between an operating system and Hardware. It is meant to supersede
      the older APM standard (for power management) and provide a generic
      interface for recognition and configuration of hardware devices."

Now testing:
  * suspend/resume on multi-core notebooks and barebones (Read APM.doc)
  * support of QuadCore desktops (follow standard recommendations: 
ACPI-SMP.doc), Please inform us, does it work well or not.

How to achieve success in testing?
  * update danis506.add to 1.8.1 (How to update Danis -- Software updates 
-- http://ecomstation.ru/apecs.php?action=item&id=203
  * disable all device drivers before testing suspend/resume (USB, audio, 
network)
  * You can see the list of Sleep states supported by your computer   when 
starting ACPI daemon (S1 - computer is stopped;   S2 - computer is stopped, 
part of devices are powered off;   S3 - all devices are powered off, except 
memory;  S4 - all devices are powered off; S5 - power off)
  * Post the bug-report (ticket) to the tracker -- 
http://svn.netlabs.org/acpi/newticket  (login: guest, pass: netlabs)
View tickets -- http://svn.netlabs.org/acpi/report/1

How to post good ticket?
  * From: your name or nickname
  * Title: model of notebook/motherboard/SMP, problem in 3-5 words
  * if you have troubles then grab log: copy acpica$ acpi.log
  * if you see trap then read ACPI-Tester.doc

How to help to other users? Share the results of your tests.
  * Post report about your computer/motherboard to Hardware database -- 
http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php
  * Install ACPIFU WPI (Fast Upgrade) if 3.x is working fine on your computer.
