Too bad, seems like this release doesn't fix bug #197943
(In reply to comment #1) > Too bad, seems like this release doesn't fix bug #197943 > True, but it seems that they're on it to fix that one.
How about adding the patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197943 , which drops the /proc/acpi/event depedency and bumping the version at the same time?
*poke* any chance to get an update for acpid ?
Created attachment 186868 [details] sys-power/acpid-1.0.8.ebuild This ebuild installs Ted Felix's version of acpid-1.0.8, which implements listening to ACPI events via netlink and the input layer, in addition to (deprecated) /proc/acpi/event. It should solve bugs #197943, #211470 and #238934.
Created attachment 186869 [details, diff] diff 1.0.6-r1 -> 1.0.8 All the other files from ${FILESDIR} are unchanged.
1.1.0 was released a few days ago. Perhaps it's best to update yet again :)
