I don't have the above file, only /etc/acpi/events/default, which invokes '/ etc/acpi/default.sh' and that's all my systems need to shutdown gracefully when I press the power button. NOTE: I only press the power button momentarily. If I press and keep pressed the power button for a few seconds, then the system powers off instantly without a graceful shutdown (a.k.a. I then will get a hard shutdown with no disk syncing or flushing of caches). > On a different gentoo system I have, I have just the one line, the > action line, in that file and the power-button works fine (whether > there's causation there or not, I have no idea :-) ) Judging from my systems I don't think the file you are using is necessary, unless this is supposed to be a fix for some MoBos which do not work as expected. > I generally do /not/ press the power button while in my window manager, > but first when I've logged off.

Does the same thing happen if you run '/sbin/shutdown -h now' ? -- Regards, Mick
