[Solved][AUR] Newb needs Help with [tp_smapi]

Hi,

I'm really new with Arch, but not new with linux in general, and I have a typical newb problem where the solution is so trivial that it is not in any wiki or howto.

The tp_smapi wiki states:

Installation:

Install tp_smapi from AUR. After installing, add tp_smapi to your MODULES array. After a reboot, this will activate most of the drivers, represented through the /sys/devices/platform/smapi filesystem.

Yet after I install tp_smapi, I don't seem to have the tp_smapi module (i.e. there is no tp_smapi in my /etc/rc.d directory)

This is what I did:

$ mkdir ~/build
$ cd build
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tp/tp_smapi/tp_smapi.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf tp_smapi.tar.gz
$ cd tp_smapi
$ makepkg -s
$ sudo pacman -U tp_smapi-0.41-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

None of the above gave any errors, what did I do wrong?

/etc/rc.d is for daemons. You need to edit a file (I guess they mean /etc/rc.conf) and add tp_smapi to your MODULES array.
