I have a related question. If for some reason my system is locked up, keyboard isn't working or something like that. If I have acpi in working order, would hitting the power button be seen or would that be the same as the keyboard and not be recognized? Anyone have experience on this or read about someone who has ran into this? Just curious but if the answer is yes, I may work on setting this up and working. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
