Hello, I have been trying to get acpid to receive events on gentoo without any success. I an on kernel 2.6.17 (with rev 10 gentoo patched) acpid: 1.0.4-r4 Toshiba Tecra M3 I have been following the guide at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml I'm on 2.6.17 So, whatever they suggested to compile in the kernel or as a module that is what I have done. When I look at /var/log/acpi no events are being generated. With this test : on_ac_power && echo AC available || echo Running on batteries It shows "AC available" when the ac is plugged in, take the cable out, and it shows "Running on batteries" Code: # acpitool -e Kernel version : 2.6.17 - ACPI version : 20060127 ----------------------------------------------------------- Battery #1 : present Remaining capacity : 39441 mWh, 82.47%, 00:27:29 Design capacity : 50760 mWh Last full capacity : 47822 mWh, 94.21% of design capacity Capacity loss : 5.788% Present rate : 18295 mW Charging state : charging Battery type : rechargeable, Li-ION Model number : G71C0004G810 Serial number : 0100027803 Battery #2 : slot empty AC adapter : on-line Fan : off CPU type : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.13GHz CPU speed : 800.000 MHz Cache size : 2048 KB Bogomips : 1600.29 Processor ID : 0 Bus mastering control : yes Power management : yes Throttling control : no Limit interface : no Active C-state : C3 C-states (incl.

I can also run: acpitool -l 4 for example, and dim the lcd display. Also, I have th battery indicator applet in gnome, this also changes correctly with respect to having the power connected, or not. Most things seem to work as they should, except acpid is not receiving events.

One interesting though, if I do : modprobe button then every 30 seconds or so I get: received event "battery BAT1 00000080 00000001" Even when i do rmmod button I still keep getting these events. The only way to go back to "normal" behaviour is to reboot. Any suggestions as to what might be my problem here ? TIA Nigel. _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
