Dell laptop problem with acpid

[Cederik de Leon]

Hi all:
 
    I have a problem with Inspiron 5150 Dell Laptop, if this email is
redundant please, tellme where can i find the related topic.

     The issue is:
   I want to check if ACPID reports the actions (like LID switch, PW
Button etc), the daemon is up and running on my DEBIAN system, when i
close the computer i spect a message into acpid log, but nothing's
happend... some times the actions was logged, (LID SW) -for example,
but it's erratic and unpredictable- I'm running 2.6.9 Kernel. And the
acpitool reports the general status of the computer.

  Best regards

Cc

There is a regression in event handling visible on some hardware (Maxdata
pro8000x here, but there's been other reports, even on this ml).
Basically, the ACPI SCI seems to be raised correctly according to
/proc/interrupts, but the events are reported erratically or not reported
at all. As a sidenote: kacpid doesn't spin when that happens. Any hints 
on how to debug this further?
Best regards,

Usually, Notify op in AML method can cause event generated through
/proc/acpi/event

First, check Notify op is existed in AML method, 
then, verify acpi_*_notify are installed.
Intuitively,  Notify op was executed conditionally.

Thanks,

Ugh, it's a regression, it worked well with 2.6.7 but works erratically on
2.6.9. I doubt the AML code has changed since then. Additionally, it also
affects standard features like a FF power button.

If nothing changed except AML interpreter,  you can
sue interpreter for this regression.  :-) 

Can you verify 2.6.8.1 works?

Thanks
