Running "lsmod" shows, that asus_acpi is lo= aded though.=20 According to the ACPI4Asus-README, there should be a folder called /sys= /devices/platform/asus-laptop/. This one does not exist at all.=20 I also tried installing "acpitool", and running "acpitool -m 1", howeve= r it just gave me the feedback that no Asus ACPI was loaded.=20 Have any of you got some ideas on what could be wrong, or what else I c= ould try to get the LED to flash?=20 Thank you very much for any ideas/support. I did try to mail my question to the acpi4asus list, but unfortunately = that one does not exist any longer. Regards,=20 Sebastian =20 - Viel oder wenig? Schnell oder langsam?
