I see. I only hopped into this thread after the post in which you asked about the KDE power control settings and the error messages about the incomplete ACPI installation. From that I got the impression that you wanted to activate these laptop-specific ACPI features in KDE. I think it is normal that the "battery" and "ac" modules have no effect on a desktop machine.
Sorry for the confusion.
Well, half done. The reboot hangs after the keyboard lights flash and before the BIOS screen shows... I have to power off by the button and power on again. And that doesn't always work.I now realize that your original question was about the shutdown/power off function. That seems to work again since you switched from APM to ACPI, so we are done, right?
Does ACPI do anything else for desktops apart from shut-down/reboot? There's a number of modules loaded. though some would be for laptops, I assume...
