Package: wmacpi Version: 2.1-6 With the latest 2.6 Linux kernels, when the deprecated CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is not selected, wmacpi fails to start because /proc/acpi/info doesn't exist.
Instaed, wmacpi should read /sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version. I am attaching a patch to this mail that fixes this problem while keeping backward compatibility with systems where /proc/acpi/info exists. This bug report is also sent to the upstream maintainer. --- libacpi.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/libacpi.c b/libacpi.c index 6ea74d6..b4e9dce 100644 --- a/libacpi.c +++ b/libacpi.c @@ -139,15 +139,20 @@ int power_init(global_t *globals) char buf[4096]; int acpi_ver = 0; int retval; - - if (!(acpi = fopen("/proc/acpi/info", "r"))) { - pfatal("This system does not support ACPI\n"); - return 1; + unsigned int version_offset = 0; + + if (!(acpi = fopen("/sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version", "r"))) { + if (!(acpi = fopen("/proc/acpi/info", "r"))) { + pfatal("This system does not support ACPI\n"); + return 1; + } else { + version_offset = 25; + } } /* okay, now see if we got the right version */ fread(buf, 4096, 1, acpi); - acpi_ver = strtol(buf + 25, NULL, 10); + acpi_ver = strtol(buf + version_offset, NULL, 10); pinfo("ACPI version detected: %d\n", acpi_ver); if (acpi_ver < 20020214) { pfatal("This version requires ACPI subsystem version 20020214\n"); @@ -169,7 +174,8 @@ int power_reinit(global_t *globals) FILE *acpi; int retval; - if (!(acpi = fopen("/proc/acpi/info", "r"))) { + if (!(acpi = fopen("/proc/acpi/info", "r")) && + !(acpi = fopen("/sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version", "r"))) { pfatal("Could not reopen ACPI info file - does this system support ACPI?\n"); return 1; } -- 1.4.4.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
