- Overview
- --------
-
- ACPID used to try to handle events internally. Rather than try to climb
- an ever-growing mountain, ACPID now lets YOU define what events to handle.
- Any event that publishes itself to /proc/acpi/event can be handled.
-
- ACPID reads a set of configuration files which define event->action pairs.
- This is how you make it do stuff. See the man page for details.
-
- Implementation status
- ---------------------
-
- This version should have complete support for generic handling of events.
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- For 2.6 and newer 2.4 kernels, ACPI seems to be fully integrated. That
- should be all you need.
-
- The ACPI kernel driver should be working on your system before trying
- ACPID. Verify ACPI is loaded by verifying the existence of
- /proc/acpi/event.
-
- Compiling ACPID
- ---------------
-
- type "make"
