Hello I am running a newish laptop with SuSe 8.1 and KDE and cannot manage the power. The laptop has full ACPI capability. In the Control Centre - Power management it tells me that "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel." After googling and looking at manuals all I can find are either - suggestions that I set acpi = off and apm = on (which seems to be a bit defeatist), - or instructions to change boot loader configuration which I have done setting pci = acpi But nothing changes ... I can't find how to enable 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery'.... And my battery suddenly does not work ... after only 12 months service (just past the guarantee) ... I have a feeling that this may be related. Can anyone please shed some light on this. TIA Norman

That probably just means that you need the battery and ac module loaded. 'rcapmd restart' and then try again. -- -ckm

If his machine is acpi type, shouldn't he start rcacpid instead of rcapmd? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Hello I'm still a newbie in linux but two days ago i have manage to load acpid modules and now it's working fine. What i did was: Open Yast2, them select system After selecting system you will see runlever editor. open it Next click on runlevel properties and make sure acpid is started on boot. This worked for me, i hope it works for you also Jose Silva On Tue, 2003-09-09 at 22:15, Norman Duncan wrote:
