Hello, I have Debian testing with kernel 2.6.12-1-386 on an IBM Thinkpad. For some reason, ACPI is not enabled in the kernel by default. This is unfortunate, because I cannot monitor the battery without ACPI. How exactly do I go about configuring the kernel to enable ACPI? I am sorry for the newbie question, but I have never compiled/configured the kernel before? Thanks in advance for your replies and patience. -- Leonid Grinberg lgrinberg@gmail.com
Check out the thinkwiki link: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_ACPI_work You can find a lot of information there about using linux on thinkpad. Lei
