Hi, I just installed 8.1 on an IBM 600X laptop and the although the battery appears on the KDE toolbar there is a red cross thru it. Clicking on the cross tells me that ACPI is not correctly installed - 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' need to be enabled and my kernel rebuilt. The package apmd appears to be installed (v.3.0.2-184) but starting or stopping the service gives a 'not supported by kernel' error. SuSE Help doesn't seems to help much. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks, John
