Sleepd does support acpi for querying things like critically low battery, as of a few days ago, in unstable only. To actually make an acpi system sleep though, you need to patch the kernel with the sortware suspend patch, and make sleepd invoke the software suspend to put the laptop to bed. -- see shy jo, sleepd author, with a laptop uptime of 5 "days" and counting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
