i'm a little confused w/ this acpi. i was trying to ru it and i found 
out i don't have. i have acpid. and i looked for acpi and i found a 2 
year old version. now, i don't know what is the differance inbetween 
acpi and acpid; and if it' ok to install that ald version.
but i do have the alert configured to %15 and it works.
btw: i have acpi=on on grub.conf.
