I am trying to follow the power management guide but am running into a snag.
1) My BIOS in my Sony VAIO PCG-FXA36 laptop doesn't have much for powermanagement in it. So I've gotten this far.
2) I am at the spot in the guide that has you unplug your ac power to see if stuff happens... well, states change in /proc/acpi and acpi appears to be detecting stuff. However, I am not seeing anything in my syslogs.
Any suggestions on getting acpi events to display in syslog? |

yup its running:
| Code: |

But when I unplug my ac_power I don't see any messages there or in /var/log/messages. |
