Torsmo and ACPI battery level indicator
Folks, I'm running SuSE 9.1 Professional and am using Torsmo as a system monitor. After setting it up and finding that the battery indicator wasn't working, I Googled torsmo and ACPI, found a solution that, well, hasn't worked. It involved entering the following string in torsmorc: ${color grey}Battery:${color grey}{$battery} The default is bat0, so I have no battery designated. I've fiddled with a range of bracketing options, thinking I may have the syntax wrong. Still she no wanna fly. When I use Torsmo's ACPI ac indicator, Torsmo correctly shows if the AC is on line or off line. But the battery level still fails to display. Any thoughts?

Hi Pete, Have you seen GKrellM included in SUSE? Or Ksysguard? Are you committed to Torsmo for other reasons? PeterB

Hi Peter, Yep, I've run Gkrellm for years and have it on the box now. But I'm intrigued with Torsmo and am running it for a while to see which I prefer.
