| |
I'm having an interesting, and relatively benign problem with ACPI events. I downloaded the ACPI daemon from SourceForge and with 2.6.0-test1-mm2 when I pressed the power button, ACPI would be deluded with PWRF events until I pushed the button again or acpid was restarted. That's easy enough to work around, but with 2.6.0-test2-mm1 the events never stop. Restarting the daemon makes no difference, nor does pushing the button have any effect. That wouldn't be too big of a problem if I was using the power button to restart the PC, but I'm using the event to kill sawfish since it likes locking up (and disregarding any keyboard input) leaving me with no recourse but to press the reset button otherwise. So, it works great for the first lockup, but I can't reset the power button event so I'm stuck with the reset button on the second round. Unless I want to reboot, which I'd rather not.
Is this a bug in 2.6.0-test2-mm1 or was the bug the fact it could be cancelled in 2.6.0-test1-mm2?
Thanks,
-Wes-
