Hi,
I want to get my hands dirty about ACPI and ACPI on Linux. I started
reading the spec but I don't know how far can I progress with it :)
I also found some driver examples for ACPI and WMI on LWN. There's Colin
Ian King's blog which seems very rich in terms of debugging.
Any other suggestions, readings, guidings, do's and dont-do's would be
very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Try starting with version 1.0 of the spec - the core functionality
hasn't changed much, and it's *much* shorter than the current version.

I haven't seen any good introductory guides to ACPI, but I've presented
on it often enough now that it might be worth me writing one.
