Hi, |
2 |
you are right, this is handelt by ACPI |

You´ll first need to check your BIOS settings. Look for something like "Power |
5 |
button" with 2 possible settings - instant power off and wait 4s. |
6 |
|
7 |
If you set that option to wait, a short press on the power button triggers an |
8 |
event and a default install of acpid (daemon has to be running, of course) |
9 |
should shutdown your system. |
10 |
|
11 |
I think this should be what you want. If it fails, check your Kernel apci |
12 |
settings (like CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON), you found already the right wiki page. |
