I also notice that since the upgrading of my kernel I get some driver errors on bootup for devices that are not on my system... and my desktop does not respond at all. So all my desktop contents are not showing unless I navigate to my ~/Desktop folder manually and right clicking on the desktop does nothing. Thanks again for any help Preston On Mon, 2003-05-12 at 01:10, Markus Gaugusch wrote: > On May 12, Preston Lord wrote: > > I have read info in many places trying to find the answers to getting > > acpi to run on my SuSE 8.1 Pro installation. > After installing acpid, run "insserv acpid" and "rcacpid start" > (or reboot). > This will load processor/fan/thermal/... modules. > But ACPI on SuSE 8.1 is from August 2002, which is quite old.
