An [Acronym] for __A__dvanced __C__onfiguration and __P__ower __I__nterface. The newer interface for changing devices' power status (eg on standby, hibernating, etc); supersedes [APM]. Some example uses: * spinning down idle hard drives, * telling a monitor to go into lower power mode (but different from [DPMS] for going into standby) * making a machine go into standby or complete hibernation Many newer laptops use [ACPI] exclusively without support for [APM]. Linux kernel 2.4.x had some support for [ACPI], but kernel 2.6 should have much better support. !! See also * [ACPINotes] * [The ACPI specification | http://www.acpi.info/]
