10:56 < vbatts> rworkman: any advise for acpi support with slackware on a laptop?
12:45 < rworkman> vbatts: create an /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local (which overrides any other rc.modules* files or symlinks), then...
12:46 < rworkman> vbatts: put the top section fo the stock rc.modules-$(uname -r) -- the section that ends with the "depmod -A" -- into that file
12:47 < rworkman> Then insert lines to modprobe everything in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/acpi/
12:47 < rworkman> Do it manually first to see if any fail, and omit any ones that obviously don't apply to you (for example, thinkpad_acpi if you don't have a thinkpad)
12:52 < vbatts> wow, is that written down any where?
12:54 < vbatts> i've just built the cpufreq-utils.SlackBuild and the powernowd.SlackBuild
12:59 < rworkman> It's written down here now :)
13:00 < rworkman> You can probably do without what you just build if you put this in rc.local:
13:00 < rworkman> # Set the "On Demand" CPU Freq governor
13:00 < rworkman> echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
