Thanks! /me hurrily cvsups so he can get the battery monitor in X The only downside: I would hate for the APM interface to become our standard power management interface in the future. :-P I would prefer that eventually we use your libpower type stuff and convert ports to use that instead so it's not so heavily tied to APM. Esp. since the libpower stuff might support other power management interfaces on other archs, etc. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
