Problems with ACPI, power btns

Problems with ACPI, power btns

[James Joseph]

Dear Sir,
I have patched my 2.4.18 kernel with acpi-20020918.  There was a 
top-level Makefile.rej but other than that the kernel compiled 
properly and with Debug statements, i think ACPI is initializing.  
I have the following problems:-

1) I wish to use the "Sleep" "Wake Up" and "Power" buttons, but 
when i press them i get (in /var/log/messages):-

kernel:keyboard:unknown scancode e0 5f, e0 63 and e0 5e 
respectively for the above keys.  I'm using the default keymap.  
What should i change to make the kernel recognize these scan 
codes.  Or should i just install the acpi daemon.  I have not 
installed the ospm deamon, is it required?

2) I am forced to give pci=noacpi since my NVIDIA Detonater 
drivers crash if i have it enabled.  Is there any little patch i 
can apply to my video drivers to fix this?

3) When i cat /proc/acpi/events i get nothing. (I'm guessing that 
is just because of problem 1.

Please help!
James

yes, you can try install acpi daemon and add some scripts to acpid
(http://codecs.home.sapo.pt/acpi/index.html at end of the page)
and see if you can get events.

try to search in this mailing list for NVIDIA patches I think they have 
one...

It seems those buttons are not handled by acpi; add them to keymap.
