Right, it is not :-)
You can use acpi or apm, to be enabled at boot time. Both options are compiled on the suse kernels. By default, acpi will be used, but disabling it wil automatically enable apm.
Documented - search the SDB, for example.

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

Mike: Did you forget to load the acpid in the Boot run-level? This is the script responsible for loading those modules, and many users forget to use the run-level editor to enable it. It should be enabled for the "B" column only.
It will then load all the acpi modules that are not excluded by the /etc/sysconfig/powermanagement file.
Yes, your way works, but its not the SuSE way. ;-)

Hi Can you explain which is the SuSE way ? I have the same problem with my laptop and I still don't know how to solve it. EJ
