With my laptop (which uses ACPI) I discovered that in order to see battery usage and power status I had to manually run the command "modprobe ac && modprobe battery" as root. I added them to start up by placing that command in /etc/rc.d/boot.local

This also worked on my laptop except I started experiencing lockups at random intervals under SuSE 8.2 / KDE. Took it back out and all is fine again :o(

Random? Nothings random in computers - not even the random number generator. ;-) Typically you will get kernel panics (blinking keyboard lights) when removing some of these modules. (Usually processor and thermal). Excluding these from being removed at run-level changes is the job of /etc/sysconfig/powermanagement file. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
