Hit the MacBook forums

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but you mean the ones on discussions.apple.com, right? I've never cared about MacBook stuff until a few months ago when I picked this one up so I'm not really familiar with the relevant forums.

Been bit by this before on an Intel (not mac) laptop, the kernel did not have the correct ACPI motherboard support.
Hit the MacBook forums...

So I assume I will have to just reconfigure and build the kernel? Guess I can do that when I'm at my other machines, doing this on a Core 2 Duo sounds a bit painful.

I added all four here and rebooted, still seems to have the same problem.

ii  acpi-fakekey                     0.143-5.1                     amd64        tool to generate fake key events
ii  acpi-support                     0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling many ACPI events
ii  acpi-support-base                0.143-5.1                     all          scripts for handling base ACPI events such as the power button
ii  acpid                            1:2.0.33-2+b1                 amd64        Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon

I only have 

ii  acpi                                     1.7-1.2                             amd64        displays information on ACPI devices

I wasn't aware anything else might be needed

Hi, I'm running Daedalus OpenRC on a 2009 MacBook (MacBook5,2) with Trinity DE. When I go into the laptop battery settings, it says "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel." I'm not sure if this is just Apple hardware weirdness or not, but is there any way for me to fix this?
