My mail provider does not comply with RFC822, and my mail to
acpi-devel-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org was rejected.  Would you be
kind enough to forward this message to the list?  I will check the
archives to follow the thread.  Thank you.

Subject: No events with acpi-20020821-2.4.19

    After installing a 2.4.19 kernel with the acpi-20020821-2.4.19 patch, I get
no events reported from /proc/acpi/events.  Events were being reported with the
ACPI support in the vanilla kernel.  I'm running on a Sony VAIO PCG-Z505HE, and
`acpidmp FACP | acpitbl` reports OEMID: Sony, TableID: Z1, revision: 0x20000222.

    My syslog looks clean (ACPI loads, with lots of detail, but no errors).

    Additionally, although sleep didn't work quite right with the vanilla kernel
(no wakeup functions), I now get no response from `echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep` and
receive a "write error: no such device" when using `cat foo > /proc/acpi/sleep`,
where foo contains only the numeral "1".

    Has anyone else experienced this behavior, or do I just need to update my
BIOS?  Any pointers to additional documentation would also be welcome.  Also,
if anyone wants detailed debugging information, I would be happy to send it
off-list: just let me know what you need.
