Yes, you can have either ACPI or APM, but not both at the same time. > If I take APM out and compile in ACPI I get /dev/acpi and all that goes > with it; but the battery status does not show up correctly. The log you have posted shows that you're running on AC, that's why battery time is 0. Plus, you somehow made it to fill up the battery to 118%. :-) The log also shows that you're loading a customized DSDT at boot, maybe that is borked. > (Which brings me to the point, in the NOTES file it's noted > that device acpi is deprecated, but if you don't add the device you don't > get acpi support...) Yes, this info is currently out-of-date. There were some recent changes to the interrupt code that made it necessary to compile acpi into the kernel. I'm not sure if someone already works on making it a module again. Generally, you should use acpidump(8) to dump your ACPI tables and ASL, put it on a website and post a link to it here. Maybe someone can take a look at it then. regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl_at_univie.ac.at UNIX Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Vienna University Computer Center Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 University of Vienna http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/Received on Sat Nov 22 2003 - 16:24:25 UTC
