The acpid ebuild does not populate /etc/acpi or /etc/acpi/events with any action triggers or scripts. On x86/amd64, I believe it should include at least actions for the power and sleep buttons, as well as variables in /etc/conf.d to determine what to do on these keypresses (e.g. shutdown or hibernate on power button). There should also be separate packages with acpid scripts for various non-standard acpi events like those sent by laptop keyboard Fn keypresses. Forcing the user to look for and manually install the necessary acpid scripts just to get acpi button functionality is unacceptable in my opinion.
sys-power/acpid _does_ install a default handler for the power button. The other ACPI events are specific to the machine in question, which is also why acpid itself doesn't include such scripts. The Gentoo ebuild includes a basic skeleton which users can populate with the behaviour of their choice.
The acpi sleep button and the lid button are standard, as far as I know: blackbird events # cat /etc/acpi/events/power event=button[ /]power action=/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh blackbird events # cat /etc/acpi/events/sleep event=button[ /]sleep action=/etc/acpi/suspend.sh 3 blackbird acpi # cat events/lid event=button[ /]lid action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh Even if some systems fire different ACPI events on these buttons, it doesn't hurt to include handlers for these. The handlers need not be active by default, but they should be there: a novice user has no idea that they need to populate /etc/acpi with scripts of their own for these events to work. The scripts could be shipped as a separate package, but they need to be available. acpid does include the power button action; sorry, I was wrong about that.
why not grab the scripts here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/admin/acpi-support and install them into the docdir ?
Good idea. I'll take a closer look at those soon.

Can we please see some progress on this?
(In reply to comment #6) > Can we please see some progress on this? Sure. Feel free to attach a working ebuild for the acpi-support package which integrates it into the existing gentoo power management framework.
Created attachment 89769 [details] acpi-support-0.85.ebuild This still needs a lot of work, but I'm interested in comments. Sleep and hibernate functions are implemented through hibernate-script. There are vendor-specific dependencies, I haven't gone through them all yet. I'd like to implement/finish up a few features to make this more comprehensive: -a service script to set power policy on components when starting -cpufreq management -NIC, wireless, display, hdd power management policy -better integration with hibernate-script
(In reply to comment #8) > This still needs a lot of work, but I'm interested in comments. Cool, thank you for working on this. I'll try to find time to review it and comment on it after my exams last week. It would be nice if we could finally get this into shape and added to portage. :)
Currently there's a bug in the package that prevents acpid from receiving an event when acpi_fakekey presses a button (e.g. `acpi_fakekey 142` should press the sleep button). The button keypress is sent to /dev/input/eventX, but acpid doesn't receive it (it should receive an event through /proc/acpi/event).
... never mind, this seems to be a problem with my machine.
On further examination this is not a problem with my machine but a known regression in acpi_fakekey. I'll have to find a way to fix it before we can go on with this package.
Created attachment 90474 [details] acpi-support-0.85.ebuild OK, I have disabled acpi_fakekey for the ACPI buttons and am calling the scripts directly instead for those. I've worked a bit on the package, please test it and let me know if you see anyting wrong with the scripts or the organization. Also a tiny update to the ebuild (added a doc install)
The latest ebuild version is at http://horizon.ath.cx/packages/acpi-support-0.85.ebuild Also I'm not sure how to proceed with the version number. This package was spun off ubuntu's acpi-support, but I've heavily modified it, so I'm not sure what numbering scheme to apply or whether to rename the package to avoid confusion.

oops, other then the init script problem mentioned in comment #16.
To fix the init script : i just did mkdir /var/log/acpi-support/ touch /var/log/acpi-support/bios-version touch /var/log/acpi-support/system-manufacturer touch /var/log/acpi-support/system-product-name touch /var/log/acpi-support/system-version Probably the ebuild should be updated to create these.
Created attachment 111555 [details] acpi-support-0.91.ebuild New ebuild: now uses ubuntu's original tarball and patches it. Please test.
Created attachment 111557 [details, diff] acpi-support-0.91-gentoo.patch Patch for 0.91 (goes into $overlay/sys-power/acpi-support/files)
The latest ebuilds will now be found at: http://www.gentoo-sunrise.org/sunrise/browser/sunrise/sys-power/acpi-support
acpi-support 0.91 w/patch worked fine here on amd64.
Revision bump to 0.95 (I'm guessing this will ship with feisty), some more integration, new link (sunrise has moved): http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/sunrise/sys-power/acpi-support
The current acpi-support package has a minor bug where acpi-fakekey sends its events to the wrong device (in my case, it sent it to the power button) : a patch can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=433771 , which fixed the problem for me.
Andrey, are you trying to push your patches to upstream?
(In reply to comment #26) > Andrey, are you trying to push your patches to upstream? > I'm not so far, because my changes are very minor and Gentoo-centric. I'll generalize them and break out a patch to send upstream in a few days, along with making an ebuild for 0.109 which is the latest version that will probably ship with Hardy. I'm taking this bug since I'm now (almost) a dev and have been de facto maintaining this in Sunrise for two years and no one else has expressed interest.
By the way, I've done a bit of research about this and it seems that Fedora and others uses a hal-based solution which Ubuntu and Debian are adopting and trying to deprecate acpi-support.
(In reply to comment #28) > By the way, I've done a bit of research about this and it seems that Fedora and > others uses a hal-based solution which Ubuntu and Debian are adopting and > trying to deprecate acpi-support. > Ah, thanks. I'll have to track down that hal-based package and turn my attention to porting that to Gentoo.
For further reference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PMUtilsSpec The function of acpi-support is nebulous in ubuntu. The suspend/hibernate functionality is now being handled by the cross-platform pm-utils package which acpi-support needs to depend on. The handlers for vendor-specific acpi events are still provided by acpi-support but it seems that the plan is to provide hal/udev rules for all of them.

They are porting the drivers to use the generic input devices from kernel to userspace. A great example of such is for asus-laptop module which is gonna be done up in 2.6.29 hopefully, patches are already avaliable and can be applied against 2.6.28 for testing. http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3305/ http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3043/

No need to create any custom rules.
Suggestion: close this bug - OBSOLETE or something.
Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
