You have to activate "button" under ACPI in the kernel: cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig -> Power management options (ACPI, APM) -> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support -> Button <*> ---- here say "YES" After emergeing acpid and runing it, you should have "shutdown now" mapped to your power button. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
