Hi all:

I have a problem with Inspiron 5150 Dell Laptop, if this email is
redundant please, tellme where can i find the related topic.

The issue is:
I want to check if ACPID reports the actions (like LID switch, PW
Button etc), the daemon is up and running on my DEBIAN system, when i close the computer i spect a message into acpid log, but nothing's happend... some times the actions was logged, (LID SW) -for example, but it's erratic and unpredictable- I'm running 2.6.9 Kernel. And the acpitool reports the general status of the computer.

Best regards

Cc

There is a regression in event handling visible on some hardware (Maxdata pro8000x here, but there's been other reports, even on this ml). Basically, the ACPI SCI seems to be raised correctly according to /proc/interrupts, but the events are reported erratically or not reported at all. As a sidenote: kacpid doesn't spin when that happens. Any hints on how to debug this further?
Best regards,
