Re: ACPI?

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

'asapm' is an X11 client which displays a battery status

That looks like a nice tool too. I was using gkrellm before.
However what I meant is that maybe the battery sensor is not supported or
something.

I'll paste a bit of my dmesg:

What's bugging me is the line saying:
ACPI Object Type 'Power' (0x0b) at acpi0 not configured

I've enabled acpi options in the kernel and recompiled it, however this
doesn't seem to make it work.

I think that maybe it is not supported.
Or am I missing something?
Is there any acpi daemon to run?

What do you guys think?


Sincerely,
Francesco Frigo
