[gentoo-user] acpid: cannot open input layer -- why is that [ok]?

[maxim wexler]

Hello group,

If you google "acpid: cannot open input layer" with quotes, you'll get zero hits. "cannot open input layer" results in five hits all refering back to my own email.

I started seeing this in the boot console followed by the green [ok] sign after following the gentoo Power-Management-Guide. I've gotten down to Code Listing 2.11: Runlevel adjustment at boot time by editing local.start

# Fake acpi event to switch runlevel if running on batteries
/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh "battery/battery"

I don't understand why the author seems to suggest I create the dir, /etc/acpi/actions without explicitly saying so. Why wasn't it created along with the /etc/acpi/events dir when the pkg was installed? 

Maxim
