Start the daemon on the command line with "-d 1" No events are seen. Tried attaching "strace -v -p " Nothing more than this is ever shown: poll( Yes, that's right, with just the one side open bracket. Both of the above are independant of where it logs information. In both instances output is written to the terminal. > > when i was setting mine up some months ago, the > default handler that shipped with acpid tried to log > events with the system logger, not in a /var/log/acpi > file. check the system log, and the /etc/acpid event > handlers. I wish my problem were as simple as looking in the wrong place for the logs. Have a reread of my initial post. I don't necessarily need someone to just give me the immediate solution, but any tips that I could use to further debug what the problem might be. At this point I'm guessing kernel config problem.
