crash and acpid
Hi everyone.
Some days ago, some of you sugested that I installed acpid on my presario
700. I did, and yesterday I was trying to use, but I didn't quite
manage. I think I have to tell linux which one is the power button, in
order for acpid to process the script and power off, just pressing it. In
fact I wouldn't normally need it, but my computer has crashed lately a
couple of times (or better it froze, I don't know if it crashed, because I
couldn do anything with it) with just xscreensaver on. Two questions then:
1)How do you change /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn to power off when I press
the button? In them manual there's just
event=button/power.*
action=....
but that doesn' work
2)I have debian sid on, has any of you had problems with xscreensaver
freezing the whole x (I'm using xfree 4.1, I believe)?
And the question that puts together the two previous once: if x is frozen,
but the machine is still working (although also the keyboard was doing
nothing), and you have acpid to power off the computer when you press the
power button, would that work, or would it freeze as well as the keyboard?
Thanks a lot for you advice
Ale
