Pardon my newness to ACPI.  That being said, I have an ACPI problem.
However inconsistent it may be.  The problem being sometimes it works, and
when it does it keeps the computer cooler than APM, maybe even cooler than
WinME.  But when it doesn't my laptop gets really hot and shuts itself down.

Is there anyway to fix this?
Should I always use APM instead of ACPI?
Should I use APM and ACPI?
(The problem here is that SonyPI conflicts with APM)

Laptop ='s Sony Vaio - PCG-FX215 - PIII 800MHz Duron
VIA Tech VT82C686 Power Management Controller

There is a known problem with ACPI and sonypi.  Be sure
to have the latest patch from ACPI and also check if
sonypi call the provided ec_get() ec_set() functions from acpi
instead of their own.  I know that this is already the case
for 2.5 series, but I have not checked that for 2.4 series.
