ACPI on Toshiba Satellite 3000
Hi, I installed SuSE 8.1 on my Toshiba without any major problems. However Laptop Power Management does not work. It claims that my ACPI installation is partial and I need install at least battery and processor module to make it work. I tried insmod to load these modules. I tried to compile SuSE Kernel (2.4.19-4GB) with /boot/vmlinuz.config . I included all acpi modules into kernel, changed cpu to P3 and removed kernel hacking (does not compile with this option). Nothing really changed. I got files in /proc/acpi dir but power applet in KDE still does not work. Questions: 1. Is it just applet or ACPI itself? 2. Shall I still apply patch from ACPI4Linux? 3. How can I verify if ACPI is working properly? thanks, Mariusz

if you check the output of dmesg you'll see something like APM disabled by ACPI. Anyway, this is in SDB. Boot the computer with the acpi=off added to the kernel parameters. Your Toshiba will use the APM. I had the same problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. Good luck, Dan. -- Binaries might die, but source code lives forever
