You should be using APM then, right? Isn't there a fix available |
| 16 |
(custom DSDT or a newer ACPI version)? Googling for ["inspiron 5160" |
| 17 |
acpi] I found this: |

and it says that ACPI, at least throttling, is working fine. |

When using APM, AFAIK that's the BIOS' job. |

This isn't directly an answer to your question, but did you told the |
| 27 |
kernel (in the APM config section) that it should use IDLE calls? |
