[gentoo-user] acpid: cannot open input layer -- why is that [ok]?
Hello group, If you google acpid: cannot open input layer with quotes, you'll get zero hits. cannot open input layer results in five hits all refering back to my own email. I started seeing this in the boot console followed by the green [ok] sign after following the gentoo Power-Management-Guide. I've gotten down to Code Listing 2.11: Runlevel adjustment at boot time by editing local.start # Fake acpi event to switch runlevel if running on batteries /etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh battery/battery I don't understand why the author seems to suggest I create the dir, /etc/acpi/actions without explicitly saying so. Why wasn't it created along with the /etc/acpi/events dir when the pkg was installed? Maxim __ Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane with All new Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] acpid woes
Hi group, When my netbook boots I get: ... apcid: cannot open input layer [ok] *cpufreqd requires kernel config CONFIG_CPU_FREQ ... but a grep of the kernel config reveals: CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y Is there something else I'm missing?

[gentoo-user] acpid problems
Hi All, I keep having acpid problems with a box of mine. I noticed that when hald starts at bootup it takes around 11 to 12 seconds! acpid never starts. If I try to start it manually it fails with the error: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event Trying to put the machine into hibernation causes a crash (freezes completely until I give it the 3 finger salute). Any ideas how I could troubleshoot this? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Have you tried looking at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ ? It might give you some hints with the same (or similar) laptops. To see if you have working acpi support check /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state They should tell you more-or-less the state your battery is in (charging or not, power etc). If these files exists then you have working acpi support, and the problem might be the gnome applets. What kernel are you using?
