Hum maybe I wasn't clear in my words (sorry English is not my natural
language). I meant that I use to look at the download site and the kernel
changelog to find the latest ACPI code.

My question was not "where to find ACPI patches for kernel X or Y?". I was just
wondering in *usually* kernel pre-releases and release candidates were waiting
for latest acpi to be merged or if acpi development were not sync'ed but for
stable releases. And if more precisely, the ACPI merging shown in rc2's
changelogs mean that all the latest ACPI changes were merged to the kernel
source (IOW: is is necessary to apply patches over 2.4.23-rc2 to get the
latest ACPI stuff).

Moreover, in a more educational way, showing books to a dumb guy won't
help, neither showing books without teaching how to read :-).


Thanx anyway,
best regards
