hi,

I have a fujitsu AMILO, SUSE LINUX 9.0 and installed ACPI.

try this:

in file /boot/grub/menu.lst add the following items:

(I have GRUB as my bootloader, the exact directory may differ)

apm=off
acpi=on

if you don't want acpi on your pci's, type also:

pci=noacpi

then you should control /var/log/boot.msg; the daemon acpid should be 
running. also there should be the directory /proc/acpi/...

If it's not there, try installing the component in YaST => Runlevel-Editor.

So it should work. But be warned:

1. Read the obstacles of ACPI documentation carefully, esp. "SUSPEND" etc.
2. In battery mode there isn't a proper warning from ACPI when battery 
is low (although ACPI recognizes the current low capacity). I work on 
that issue myself.

by the way, you can always control ACPI by starting, in a shell:

acpiw  or
gtkacpiw (grahical frontend)

regards,

markus
