Acpi, slackware, and thinkpad t40
I recently bought IBM Thinpad T40, and put Slackware 9.1 on it. I also compiled 2.6.0 kernel. Now I think more or less the acpi should be working but the directory /proc/acpi has nothing useful inside. There is no battery status or fan status. Was anyone successful in getting the acpi to work on a similar setup to mine? What effect does the acpi has on the battery, is the battery's life shortened without acpi?
