 |
|
Hi,
I have followed the gentoo power managment guide, but have some problems with ac_adapter events not recognized:
Determining ACPI events for changing the power source:
| Code: |
# tail -f /var/log/acpid | grep "received event"
|
From AC to battery:
| Code: |
[Wed Mar 1 05:39:03 2006] received event "battery BAT0 00000080 00000001"
[Wed Mar 1 05:39:03 2006] received event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000"
[Wed Mar 1 05:39:03 2006] received event "processor CPU0 00000081 00000000"
|
From battery to AC:
| Code: |
[Wed Mar 1 05:36:22 2006] received event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000"
[Wed Mar 1 05:36:23 2006] received event "processor CPU0 00000081 00000000"
|
what's wrong?why can i see battery events and not ac ones?
thank you  |

| Well for one thing, instead of using tail to read the log file, cat it out, or pipe it to less / more and see if the events are perhaps listed just did not occur in the last 10 lines which is what tail reads by default. |

Verify that the ac module is loaded (of you didn't compile it into the kernel) and that there are no error messages in dmesg.
Even if you don't get the ac_adapter event, chances are high you can use the processor event instead.

I guess it will work when you replace ac_adapter with processor: | /etc/acpi/events/pmg_ac_adapter wrote: |
# replace "ac_adapter" below with the event generated on your laptop
# For example, ac_adapter.* will match ac_adapter AC 00000080 00000000
event=processor.*
action=/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh %e |
