acpid doesn't log all ACPI events

acpid doesn't log all ACPI events

[Rockefeller, Harry]

I am running acpi and kernel 2.6.8.1 and acpid version 1.0.3.

I get ACPI debug messages at the system terminal when I change
my notebook power from AC to battery and vice versa, i.e.,

[ACPI Debug] String: Length 0x09, "AC Change".

Also /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC0/state reports the power change
properly.

However, acpid never records ac_adapter events.

FWIW acpid does report all three button events:
button/lid, button/power, and button/sleep.
These also get logged to /var/log/acpid.

I don't know if the ac_adapter event ever reaches
/proc/acpi/event.  If not, I would suspect this to be
an ACPI bug.  If yes, then perhaps it's an acpid
bug, i.e., not getting communicated to /var/log/acpid.

Can anyone explain what is going on?  I'll be happy to
provide more information if needed.

Thanks.

you mean your system doesn't do this?:

I have the same problem in Dell Inspiron 5150 running 2.6.7 with acpi patch
(2004-07-17). The acpi events (battery, ac_adapter, lid) are not generated
during normal operation. However, if I enter S1,S3 or S4 the ac_adapter events
are output during the suspend event. It shows up in /var/log/acpid upon resume.
