- ACPID used to try to handle events internally. Rather than try to climb
- an ever-growing mountain, ACPID now lets YOU define what events to handle.
- Any event that publishes itself to /proc/acpi/event can be handled."
+ In recent linux kernels, the /proc/acpi/event interface has been deprecated.
+ The same information (and more) is available via netlink (a way for the kernel
+ to communicate with userspace that is usually used for networking) and the
+ input layer (mouse, keyboard, power button, etc...). This version of acpid
+ supports netlink and the input layer."
