Anyone compiled acpid (for shutting down Puppy?)

[VSh]

Did anyone compile and use "acpid" in Puppy2?

More precisely, I am trying to do clear shutdown on pressing of power button on the box.

It can be compiled and works properly. But, it appeared that something wrong with acpi in Puppy. Power button doesn't post anything in /proc/acpi/event. Moreover, I haven't seen any event there.

Puppy does not have the button module which is required to support the use of the power button or laptop lid to shut down etc.
As I understand it, acpid is needed to detect the event, and button can cause a resulting action. Don't know if there is another link in the chain, though.

Now I see. Thank you.

Module button.ko can be found in all_modules-k2.6.16.7.tar.gz. "insmod button.ko" and all is right. button.ko is needed for posting the event in /proc/acpi/event and acpid simply reads events and reacts. Now /etc/acpi/events/power looks like:

Code: Select all

event=button power.*
action=/usr/X11R6/bin/wmpoweroff
