ACPI problem
 

Hi all, The ACPI stuff loads up fine when slackware is booting, but in KDE 3.5 i cant find any settings to put it into use, i mean like having the icon in the system tray, tweaking the settings etc. Is there some kind of daemon that needs to be run?

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

How old is your motherboard?

Hi,

Then just search the package here:

Hope this helps you out.
