Regards, SebastienYea.. I got the modules loaded and acpid running.. and there is a /proc/acpi but when i look at the various files in there.. their contents don't look correct..
It probably means that you don't have a standard ACPI implementation (like me). In this case, you have to find the good dsdt table for your laptop (I made one which seems correct for Compaq Presario 2800, if someone need it), to put it in /usr/src/linux/drivers/acpi/dsdt.hex, to set in your kernel's config file CONFIG_ACPI_TWEAKED_DSDT=y, and to recompile...
Have a nice night ;-)
Sebastien.
PS: My explanations may are a bit obscure, but in fact it's not really complicated.
