Would anyone be good enough to help a DragonFly newbie with an ACPI
question?
I'm trying to get the front-panel power button to shut the system down
(cleanly). Currently when I press it, nothing discernible happens (no
console messages, nothing logged, and certainly no shutdown).
shutdown -p now, and
acpiconf -s 5
both work just fine, which makes me think nothing's fundamentally broken.
My BIOS offers me either "soft off" or "suspend" for the front panel
button. I expect I want soft off, but I have tried both.
Setting hw.acpi.verbose=1 doesn't seem to tease out any more diagnostics.
The acpi module seems to be loading okay at boot time
/modules/acpi.ko text=0x47358 data=0x188c+0xb38
syms=[0x4+0x6490+0x4+0x7ebd]
and it successfully probes the power button
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
Warning: ACPI is disabling APM's device. You can't run both
[...]
acpi_button0: <Power Button> on acpi0
Unfortunately the ACPI man pages don't have much to say about the power
button, and I can't find anything pertinent in the mailing list archive.
Can anyone suggest what I might do to diagnose what's going on? I'll
happily provide more info, if it helps.
Many thanks in advance!
