acpid is still okay, I believe. Even though it comes with a single shell script for all actions, it is not part of boot process, and it's not a required part of acpid either – acpid actually has a built-in filtering mechanism in /etc/acpi/events, and the shell script is just default configuration. However, running X11 programs from a daemon, regardless whether it it is logind or acpid, is not recommended. Sure, it might be okay for a single-user machine, but I have ended up with two, three X servers fairly often even on my personal laptop. It'd be a bit better if the button/lid events were handled by a program running inside the Openbox session (the events can be read from /run/acpid.socket). -- Mantas Mikulėnas _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
