Laptop Sony Vaio R505TS - test2 - ACPI

[Sean Craig]

Hi Louis,

I had a similar problem with a Toshiba laptop.

It seems that the acpi-related modules are not being loaded.

Edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/acpid .....

<snip> .....
start() {
        # Check if it is already running
        if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/$PROGNAME ]; then
            echo -n $"Starting acpi daemon: "
        # add apci modules - button only default!
            modprobe ac > /dev/null 2>&1
            modprobe battery > /dev/null 2>&1
            modprobe button > /dev/null 2>&1
            modprobe fan > /dev/null 2>&1
            modprobe processor > /dev/null 2>&1
            modprobe thermal > /dev/null 2>&1
            daemon /usr/sbin/$PROGNAME
            RETVAL=$?
            [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$PROGNAME
            echo
        fi
        return $RETVAL
}
<snip>

That fixed me.
