acpi is in gslapt package manager. It is not installed by default in Salix Fluxbox 14. You have to install it.
Try
if using a laptop. If acpi is installed. It will show the battery.
will show a temperature readout if acpi is installed.
I have my Salix netbook put away right now. I am posting from my
other AntiX netbook with a touchscreen doing some testing for Anticapitilista. He and the team has taught me most everything I know about driving Linux comfy like.
If editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Salix. Make sure you back up original 1st . Name original something like xorg.conf.old or xorg.confbk before proceeding with any edits. That way you have the working original to fall back to using in case you break something with your edits.
Here is a quick way to look around in terminal to show what I am talking about. Antix does not use a xorg.conf anymore as Debian has
moved on from that.

cp xorg.conf.in xorg.conf.in.old

was me making a backup using the copy command "cp" so if I wanted to edit anything in "xorg.conf.in". I 1st made it's twin brother
"xorg.conf.in.old " before proceeding with any edits.
Using the "cd" command. I used it to open doors in terminal so I could get into the room /etc/X11. So I could work in X11 room.
I used the "ls" command like a flashlight to look around in that room
because it is dark in there and I cannot see a thing in terminal till I use "ls". I used the "cat" command to read the text fle
"xorg.conf.in" just in case I wish to highlight the words in terminal with a mouse click, copy and paste, and make a new text file in /home as a backup with whatever name I wish.
Good luck with your edits. If it fubars. You have a backup named .old or bk that you can remove the .old or bk from the end of the name. Reboot. No harm no foul.
Lots of ways to ride Linux. Just like a motorcycle or bicycle.
Lastly. I recommend you down load and keep the pdf for Salix getting started in your Documents folder in /home/username.
