Can someone help me with how to make the most of the new acpi module? I am using a Thinkpad T20 with 128 mb ram and am running DSL 3.0RC1 from the live CD. I booted with the cheat code "acpi=force". How do I know its working? Or what will be the visible difference when ACPI is there versus when it was not there (say if I am using the older version of DSL)? Will I be able to hibernate my laptop?

As it is booting you will the message about battery, fan, etc.
If you click DSLpanel, System Stats, Modules tab, you will see thermal, battery, fan, processor
If you look in dmesg tab, then you will see many ACPI messages.

Thanks Robert. I am away from my DSL machine right now but will explore more once I return. I still wonder if ACPI will only help in saving power when my laptop is working in normal mode or if it will also have added features like being able to hibernate the laptop. I dont fully understand what ACPI does, but reading whatever I could find on Wikipedia it seems that it should support hibernation. If so, can someone let me know how to hibernate my laptop?

So the .unc extension can only be used with unionfs?

Yes. If you aren't using unionfs you'll want to use uci extensions. I'm anxious to try this out on some low ram machines and see what the numbers look like.
