[solved]--(WW) Open ACPI failed

Hello folks, first post here tongue
New to arch but liking it better then many other flavors of linux I have tried over the year.
I'm trying to learn the nuts and bolts of linux and arch seems to be the one.

Anywho, I'm using dell e1405 and installed xf86-video-intel

I have a few things to fix yet, but lets start with this one wornings I see in my logs.


(**) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

Anyone can point me in the right dirrection?

thanks in advance.

Thanks for a quick reply Binky,
umm... would that be in the xorg or rc file?

Still new to editing config files and what not, but I think I have learned more in 2 days installing/reading about arch then I did using mint/ubuntu.

Re: [solved]--(WW) Open ACPI failed

In /etc/rc.conf.
As an example, this is the DAEMONS array from mine:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network !netfs !dnsmasq crond acpid @hal @alsa @gpm @cpufreq @esekeyd !keytouch @mpd !cups @openntpd @lastmp @lastfmsubmitd @arch32 @pacmandb)

Re: [solved]--(WW) Open ACPI failed

OK it was missing so I added it
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng pcmcia network acpid netfs crond portmap fam dbus hal !avahi-deamon)
rebooted and its still says

(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

Perhaps I need to install it?

Re: [solved]--(WW) Open ACPI failed

also read

http://wik.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide

i do belive it explains rc.conf and the DAEMONS array.

Without really reading those things (from the top of my head), I thought hal automatically launched the acpid daemon with it, hence you don't need to add the acpid daemon.

well, yeah, but only if you have hal running as a daemon.  my guess, from reading this thread (when it was still fresh) is that the op didn't actually read beginner's or installation guide, and thus, didn't have *either* acpid or hal in their DAEMONS= line.

btw, anyhow who hasn't read those things either (a) knows how to deal with daemons under arch already or (b) isn't doing it right.

@vladman: did you get it fixed?  if so, do please marked this thread solved.
