I've done that sort of thing before so I'll stick with it instead of using the GUI version [e.g. 'modconf' - Kent]. Which of these modules do I need to load for this? /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/button.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/thermal.o /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.o Or do I need to add another package?
I'm not qualified to answer questions about ACPI, so can't really address that. But a couple of observations:
1)I see you're running a 2.4 kernel. I _think_ the 2.6 has better ACPI support.
2)If you're really running a 386, that kernel is acceptable, but if you've got a Pentium-class machine, you might want to upgrade to a -596, or -686, or -K7, etc kernel, which is optimized for these other CPUs. Just do an "apt-get search kernel-image | more" to see what kernels are available for you to download with your current "/etc/apt/sources.list". You might get a nice little speed increase, etc.
Oh, and PS. "modconf" is a text-based "GUI", in case you weren't aware. -- Kent
