[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#516079: Please run acpid, even if /proc/acpi/event does not exist

[Jonny]

Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.8-4
Severity: wishlist

Unless /proc/acpi/event exists, acpid does not start.

 # Check for ACPI event-file support on kernel side
 [ -r "/proc/acpi/event" ] || exit 0


Isn't '--netlink' option helpful, as for this?
       -n, --netlink
                   This  option  forces  acpid  to  use the Linux kernel input
                   layer and netlink interface for ACPI events.
