Subject: acpi on a Samsung V20 with mandrake 9.0
Date: 11 Dec 2002 13:38:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200212111241.gBBCfgw08025@cnes.fr> (raw)

Hello,


I am not an expert of acpi, so excuse me if my questions are basic.
(but there is no acpi-users mailing list, just an acpi-devel one...)
I try to use acpi on my laptop Samsung V20, which is supposed to support
acpi 1.0b.
I have installed Mandrake 9.0, but because acpi is not compiled in their
kernel, I have upgraded to the 2.4.20 kernel from mandrake (package
kernel-2.4.20.1mdk-1-1mdk). I have also tried to recompile that kernel.

Acpi seems to work, because I have a /proc/acpi directory with several
files and subdirectories. I have two main problems :
- I can't control the state of my battery : the subdirectory
/proc/acpi/battery is empty.
- I can't enter a suspend to ram mode. I have tried 
cat -n 1 > /proc/acpi/suspend
but nothing appears.

What is wrong in my configuration ?
Many thanks.

	Frederic
