I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. Doesn't support APM, uses the new ACPI power management.
I got brave and downloaded the acpi patch for my kernel (2.4.18-14) and followed the instructions to patch the kernel, then make menuconfig, then make dep. (I think those are the steps I followed... it's been a couple of days.) Anyway, everything seemed to work. When I ran make menuconfig, I deselected APM and selected ACPI, and everything ran without error. If I now run the KDE control center, and look at the kernel configuration section, I can see that acpi support is enabled and selected. HOWEVER, there is no /proc/acpi, and I can't figure out what else I need to do to enable this support. Is there another step? I have scoured Google looking for answers, but there's just not much out there on acpi support yet. All I really want is a battery monitor... if I can get that much working I'll be happy.
