Perhaps it only looks like auto indentation is not working, because
you expect it to indent when you press RET (the Enter key).  If so,
try pressing C-j instead.  Also try TAB on a line that already has
some text to reindent it.  Did those two work?

C Mode is fully documented in a separate manual, "ccmode".
