[gobolinux-users] Kpowersave issues

[Daniele Maccari]

You were probably right. I've done a little mess with kernels, but I 
then recompiled with Compile and now I've just one 2.6.23.8-r3 copy with 
its modules along. I've to check if the error still presents itself.

As for klaptop, it continues to want some acpi modules to work. I don't 
want kpowersave installed some daemon or similar which prevent klaptop 
from using kernel features. Does anyone know what kacpid is and does? 
Does klaptop use it? Could I replace it with the simple acpid?
That's a weird situation indeed, thanks in advance to everybody.
