(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.
