Only the icon for AC mode appears, and the computer thinks it's running under AC :-/ I've tried to download and install some patch from this site but I have a serious doubt before messing around with the kernel. Let's go step-by-step: 1) I dowloaded the 'sbs-cm-20050213' patch, extracted it and followed the instructions 2) But when I get to step 8 and go to the webpage recommended http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 I read the following line "SuSE 9.0 already includes this patch in the default kernel! See /etc/sysconfig/kernel for more information (ACPI_DSDT=...)" I don't know if I should follow all the steps or try a different approach to my problem. Any help, plz?
