  14. Overview
  15. --------
  16.  
  17.   ACPID used to try to handle events internally.  Rather than try to climb
  18.   an ever-growing mountain, ACPID now lets YOU define what events to handle.
  19.   Any event that publishes itself to /proc/acpi/event can be handled.
  20.  
  21.   ACPID reads a set of configuration files which define event->action pairs.
  22.   This is how you make it do stuff. See the man page for details.
  23.  
  24. Implementation status
  25. ---------------------
  26.  
  27.   This version should have complete support for generic handling of events.
  28.  
  29. Requirements
  30. ------------
  31.  
  32.   For 2.6 and newer 2.4 kernels, ACPI seems to be fully integrated.  That
  33.   should be all you need.
  34.  
  35.   The ACPI kernel driver should be working on your system before trying
  36.   ACPID.  Verify ACPI is loaded by verifying the existence of
  37.   /proc/acpi/event.
  38.  
  39. Compiling ACPID
  40. ---------------
  41.  
  42.   type "make"
