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 will find some example scripts in /etc/acpi
