Guest Grymyrk Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have installed Mandriva 2007 on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop recently. And I set the power setting to turn off/Blank (Im not sure what it really does) when the lid is closed. But when I close it lid it does not turn off. Any ideas?

theYinYeti Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I know next to nothing to those issues, but I guess it is related somehow to ACPI not being active. Can you run the following commands as root: chkconfig --list | grep -i acpi lsmod | grep -i acpi Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grymyrk Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 here is the result: [root@cust Desktop]# chkconfig --list | grep -i acpi acpi 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off acpid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@cust Desktop]# lsmod | grep -i acpi [root@cust Desktop]# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Sorry I won't be able to help you further. It seems strange to me that there's no module related to ACPI because on my "salon" PC, there's one for the power button, one for the battery (generic module; I don't have a battery), and so on. Yet acpi(d) is definitely reported to be running, so... Just in case, try and run this (as root): find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ -iname "*acpi*" -print Yves.

Guest Grymyrk Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Here is what I get: [root@cust Desktop]# find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ -iname "*acpi*" -print /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/acpi /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/acpi/ibm_acpi.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_ibm.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp.ko.gz [root@cust Desktop]# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First install vbetool Just backup your /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh file in case something goes wrong and replace everything you have in it with 8<---------------------snip----------------->8 #!/bin/sh if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state then vbetool dpms on else vbetool dpms off fi 8<---------------------snap----------------->8 There you go Edited February 10, 2007 by fabien.henon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
