ACPI works quite well with the standard slackware packages I would suggest you install the 2.6 kernel in the testing/ directory rather than stick with the 2.4 Then install these - cpufreqd - cpufreqd.sourceforge.net (to slow down / speed up the cpu depending on system load / what you are doing like playing a dvd, and whether youre on AC power or battery ...) laptop-mode-tools - http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/ (hdparm optimizations for your laptop) ipw2200 centrino wifi drivers (if its a centrino laptop - else scout around for other wifi drivers) - http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net [stick with 2.6.12 if you do this - the current ipw2200 has some issues with 2.6.13 that need patching - but the patches i tried didnt work too well so am at 2.6.12.8 now] recompile your kernel if necessary to enable software suspend -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suresh Ramasubramanian) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ mv linux Gnu/Linux mv: cannot move `linux' to `Gnu/Linux': No such file or directory jaharkes @ cs.cmu.edu in reply to RMS on linux.kernel ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
