ACPI SuSE 8.2

ACPI SuSE 8.2

[Preston Lord]

I had trouble with ACPI on my Acer TM 430 on SuSE 8.1 so I redid my
Kernel to the latest 2.4.20-6x with still getting the error:

Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation
brobably ACPI was enabled, but some of the sub-options
were not enabled - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor'
and 'Control Method Battery' and rebuild your kernel.

So I did a fresh install of SuSE 8.2  ... same error as above.
I thought that SUSE 8.2 was all ready to go with ACPI ... babey it is my
laptop? The Acer TM 430 is brand new... ideas?

Thanks

You have to activate acpid:
insserv acpid
rcacpid start
Then log off from KDE and log in again and everything should work.
The acpid init script loads all modules (battery, ac, thermal, ...)
