pressing power button, no prompt

[maspai]

i have salix mate in acer aspire 522 netbook. i installed catalyst proprietary driver for its ati radeon card, and 3d works great.
my problem is, pressing power button directly starts shutting down my netbook, without any prompted question. i did set preference of power management "when the power button is pressed: ask me".
thanks for help.

You probably have acpi handlers setup like so (/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

IFS=${IFS}/
set $@

case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

You need to comment in that "power button" case the /sbin/init 0 line like this:

Code: Select all

      power) #/sbin/init 0

Then it's most probably going to work as expected, i.e. acpi "power button" events get only handled by xfce as expected.

great, shador. thanks, it works.
and it will be perfect if the prompt dialog directly has focus, so i don't have to click on it or press alt+tab .
