This patch allows acpid to work with the current gentoo-sources kernels.
Created attachment 1097 [details, diff] Patch to fix kernel for acpid
this fixes acpid to work with the more recent code from the sourcesforge ACPI4Linux project, correct? I'll keep that in mind as I consider including that patch in the next gentoo-sources kernel.
To Lolo: No, you don't need that patch for current acpi. The current patch from the acpi-project works straight ahead with acpid. The attached patch is only needed for older versions of the acpi-patch. I hope you will include the acpi-patch.
