Re: Help with powerbutton handling

In facts the acpi routines seem to be there only for an emulation environment they seem to have (had).

But yesterday the button started to work again, I don't know exactly why, I should have touched something useful.

About your suggestions: I do have full backup of the entire system partition, but still I need the NAS to boot and have remote access to it to make changes, so I'm very careful when touching things.

This is why I don't think I can update it to Debian 7, unless I decide to scratch all LG software and start a clean install, but, yet again, I don't know if this is possible without display and keyboard I/O.

ACPI is OLD. It came out in 1996. They are on version 5 as of 2011.
UEFI has taken over maintaining ACPI these days.

Of course on arm, ACPI is new for 64bit arm and has never been used on
older arm designs that I have ever heard of.
