- This driver registers for events based on buttons, such as the
- power, sleep, and lid switch. In the future, a daemon will read
- /proc/acpi/event and perform user-defined actions such as shutting
- down the system. Until then, you can cat it, and see output when
- a button is pressed.
+ This driver handles events on the power, sleep and lid buttons.
