Help with booting process

[Balinus]

Hi! Just new to Fedora 9 64bits. Tried Ubuntu before (first Linux OS) and loved it but I wanted something a little bit more cutting edge. Moreover, I have a new laptop and some hardware wasn't recognize.

To the point now.... I have an Asus laptop with a light sensor that I want to disable automatically at each boot.

With this command :

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch

it works, but I want to set it for each boot and this procedure found here doesn't work with Fedora (the procedure is for Ubuntu).

I tried some things : here and here but it never works.

So any help would be appreciated. I think that the problem might be the fact that I need root access to put the "0" in the "/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch" file.

Thanks a lot!

Placing the command in /etc/rc.local should do the trick, it runs as root. Did you try that?

Good, worked perfectly

rc.local seems quite handy.

Thanks!
