I know, or at least have heard, that there are computers with buggy
ACPI implementations that won't boot with ACPI enabled.
We have zero bugs matching that atm.
I suggest that in about a month if no one comes up with a few bugs
proving the contrary we turn it on by default and see what happens.
To test ACPI all you need to do is uncomment 'acpi true' in
'~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel'.
I recommend checking that fans work normally, since someone mentioned
it might be a problem.
Other than than that you should be able to:
* Power off shuts down computer.
* Powerstatus works if you have a battery, (there is still
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4623 though)
* 'more -f /dev/acpi/namespace' should list the acpi tree.
