I just got a new laptop from work, a Gateway 200x, which i thought woudl be perfect to make the transition to Linux dekstop for system management. I have read through many documents on the net about making ACPI work on Linux. I have downloaded the latest kernel stable kernel source 2.6.3 and have patched that source with the latest acpi from http://acpi.sourceforge.net and then compiled the kernel. The compile using (make xconfig) doesn't look any different when looking at the options. But in any case after booting into it and looking in /proc/acpi and looking into the battery and ac_adapter etc there are no scripts/events. Is this normal? I just picked up the magazine Linux User and they had a nice article about ACPI under Linux but the article says there should be files under the directories battery, and ac_adapter etc but i have none. This is a stock install of SuSE 9 Pro but it doesn't seem to have any ACPI features enabled by default. How can i do this?
