"sorted out" === "made to work correctly"

imho, what we really need is a reference to a reasonably well written 
explanation as to what ACPI is and how it works. So far all I have been able 
to find an absolutely opaque standards document of some 600+ pages or else 
undated and anecdotal personal reports about how person X got what he wanted 
on Machine Y using kernel Z. Inevitably these have very little relevance to 
what I want to do with the machine and kernel I have.
