Well, you can't very well run the acpi daemon if you don't have it, can
you-- and if you don't have it, how is GNOME supposed to find it?
* sys-power/acpid
Available versions: 1.0.2-r2 1.0.4-r1 1.0.4-r2
Installed: 1.0.4-r2
Homepage: http://acpid.sourceforge.net
Description: Daemon for Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface
Perhaps acpi is not in your USE flags-- otherwise the daemon would have
probably been installed as a dependency of something that could use it,
like gnome-applets:
emerge -pv gnome-applets
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.10.1 +acpi -apm -debug -doc
+gstreamer -ipv6 6,103 kB
... since the battery monitor applet depends on the acpi (or apm) daemon
to be running to be able to grab the data and display it.
Or are you using apm instead? Sorry, no laptop, so I don't know how to
work with that... but I would assume it works the same way, just instead
of compiling the kernel with acpi support, building packages with +acpi
and using the acpi daemon, you would instead build the kernel with apm
support, build packages with +apm and run the apm daemon.
HTH,
