How to flash "Message LED" on Asus PC-DL via ACPI?

[northy@arcor.de]

Hi everyone! 

I am currently trying to get the "Message LED" flashing on my Asus PC-DL mainboard. 
The LED flashed fine during POST and the Asus manual states, that an OS with ACPI support is needed to take control of the LED. 

I want to create a script that checks for certain system event's (temperature, fan failure, etc.) , and if any of them returns with the value "true", the LED should flash. 

In order to get this up and running, I downloaded ACPI4Asus-0.41 (I'm running kernel 2.6.20, Fedora Core 6), which compiles fine. 
However, when I run "modprobe asus_acpi", there is no entry in the "dmesg" or "/var/log/messages". Running "lsmod" shows, that asus_acpi is loaded though. 
According to the ACPI4Asus-README, there should be a folder called /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/. This one does not exist at all. 

I also tried installing "acpitool", and running "acpitool -m 1", however it just gave me the feedback that no Asus ACPI was loaded. 

Have any of you got some ideas on what could be wrong, or what else I could try to get the LED to flash? 

Thank you very much for any ideas/support.
I did try to mail my question to the acpi4asus list, but unfortunately that one does not exist any longer.

Regards, 
Sebastian
