If you're not using debian, then why not :-) The only 'secret' is the fact that the events shown - 'power' and 'ac' almost certainly don't exist. Well, anything that's unknown gets logged to syslog. Look for the ACPI events, use the names shown to create your own rules and scripts - we can't tell you what the events will be because they're defined at the DSDT level. derek ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
