Here are the stats: Compaq 2701US : RedHat9 base, Kernel 2.4.22 (from kernel.org), Kde 3.1.4 (from KDE.org) Shutdown works which is fantastic. I cannot however get any readings from my batteries. I have KLaptop running, which does tell when I am on AC power versus batteries, but when I am on batteries it thinks I am out of power. If I go into /proc and poke around: /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1 or BAT2/info - says no battery is present under AC or Battery /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state - shows off-line or on-line depending on if I am plugged in (which is where I guess the applet can tell if I am plugged in or not) I noticed there were some patches for my kernel, but all of the kernel how-tos have been taken down on the internet (strange) and that was pretty much my guide to rebuilding... If that patch will help, I will give it a try - but I am not sure I remember how to do it...
