====== ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) ====== To install the acpi daemon and modules: # tazpkg get-install acpid # tazpkg get-install linux-acpi The acpi daemon needs to be started before dbus and hal, so edit your ///etc/rcS.conf// to look like this: RUN_DAEMONS="acpid, dbus, hald, etc..." Or, to start manually: # /etc/init.d/hald stop # /etc/init.d/dbus stop # /etc/init.d/acpid start # /etc/init.d/dbus start # /etc/init.d/hald start To check it's working, just: $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/{BAT0}/info You can find some example scripts in ///etc/acpi//.
