 |
|
So on SUSE I have a /usr/bin/acpi, which tells me, in CLI form, how much battery I have left. Did
emerge acpi
-- got /usr/bin/acpi. Note that it's different from acpid, this is just a simple status-reporting utility. Yet it fails to see my hardware!
% acpi -V
No support for device type: battery
No support for device type: thermal
No support for device type: ac_adapter
-- while portage shows no dependencies for acpi! 'fcourse I compiled my kernel with ACPI. What can be missing?
Cheers,
Alexy |

There's still the question if you compiled the ACPI support into the kernel or if you have modules that might or might not be loaded.
I have no other packages than acpi and acpid and ACPI modules. Everything works fine here. |

| Ah -- somehow modules in acpi/ don't get loaded automatically, and after loading them manually both acpi and acpitool work. Added to modules.autoload. |

| I think if you install acpid, it will also load the modules. But I'm not sure... |
