How will I know if my laptop battery is about to run out?
Can you do:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT#/*
? Replace # with 0 or 1.
That's how I keep an eye on my battery on my old Thinkpad because it reports incorrectly, so it tries to shutdown with 50% power so I have to kill powersaved to keep using it.
I open a small terminal and use watch with the above command.
Thanks Larry, That will work in the interim until we get a fix in Trinity. Robert, you know anything about this in Trinity? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
