what drivers ??

Yeah what drivers?, I have installed FD2, RH9, RH7.3, and Gentoo on my various Compaq laptops and the only driver I have ever needed was ATI drivers to get DRI to work in X .. which worked about 50-50. So what your looking for would help but even then Google is your best bet.

those are availabe in the acpi package. U might need to add some events though.
Look at /etc/acpi/events/ directory

a sample config for turning off power is:

Code:

event=button/power.*
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now

Also, u must have acpi enabled in kernel and the right modules loaded (like button... etc.)
