Re: [ACPI-sppt] ACPI not writing to /proc/acpi/event

Okay, I havn't been 100% open with you.  I do have acpid 1.0.2 installed.  I 
have it start up in the rc3.d.  I would first tail -f /var/log/acpid and 
/var/log/messages then press the power button.  Then I would shutdown acpid 
and then cat /proc/acpi/events.  (I couldn't cat it when acpid was running).  
I also had acpid configured with the event/default calling a sciprt that 
would just log what it recived like so: $1 >> /tmp/1.log and $2 >> /2.log. 
Thus I feel its safe to say ACPI is not sending any messages.   

In my many kernel builds I did some with debug and some without.  Result was 
the same.  I wouldn't recive any /var/log/messages or /var/log/acpid events 
and my /tmp/2.log and 1.log files would be empty.
