Description Klaus S. Madsen 2005-08-03 00:01:06 UTC 
Distribution: Gentoo   
Hardware Environment: Compaq Armada M700   
Problem Description:   
 
The directory /proc/acpi/button no longer exists i 2.6.13-rc5. This is a 
problem, as it complicates acpi-scripts which suspend the laptop when the lid 
is closed (it is very nice to know of the button event you receive is because 
the lid is closed or opened). 
 
Reverting the patch at 
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bd4698dad3023ae137b366c736e29ca6eaf3b9f7 
solves the problem, but that patch also contains a bug-fix.
