Re: Laptop Sony Vaio R505TS - test2 - ACPI
Sean,
Thanks! That definitly did the trick, ACPI is up and running.
Next on the list is to play with performance and cpufreq.
Also, installing the linux-wlan drivers appears to break pcmcia, I get
yenta errors after restarting pcmcia after I make install the linux-wlan
code. Anyhow, I'm going to review it again, if I still have issues I will
post more details.

Hi Louis,
I had a similar problem with a Toshiba laptop.
It seems that the acpi-related modules are not being loaded.
Edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/acpid .....
<snip> .....
start() {
# Check if it is already running
if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/$PROGNAME ]; then
echo -n $"Starting acpi daemon: "
# add apci modules - button only default!
modprobe ac > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe battery > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe button > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe fan > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe processor > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe thermal > /dev/null 2>&1
daemon /usr/sbin/$PROGNAME
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$PROGNAME
echo
fi
return $RETVAL
}
<snip>
That fixed me.
