Yeah yeah I agree, he's right... Thank you for pointing me out this message, for some reason I never received it. Will fix that. > In this blog post the author thinks, that a interrupt is used in > AppleSMC for sensor monitoring > (http://blog.technologeek.org/2006/12/27/44). Have you infos about that? Interesting post, unfortunately he does not provide anything proving what he's stating in his article. (not saying he never contacted me to give me more details about his findings) For example, for me, this sentence: "It is highly probable that the OS X driver is taking over the fan control to keep the machine both cool and quiet." contradicts basic principles of physics, I don't understand how you can run the fans more slowly, and have a lower temperature... Anyway, it's very highly likely there are some interrupts in the SMC, which are not handled by the Linux driver. These are probably used for the accelerometer device, to be able to park the head of the hard drive quickly in case of shock of free fall (the old PowerBook AMS supports these interrupts, and I don't see why Apple would have removed this important feature).
