Hi everyone, I am trying to get APM working properly on my Intel 855PM P4 1600 centrino laptop, and am having trouble understanding APM / ACPI. I have an APM DockAP in WindowMaker that display's battery statistics' The only APM feature I cannot seem to get working is the battery time remaining. In my kernel I have 'device apm' and 'apm_enable' in my rc.conf. I know that APM and ACPI cannot exist together and am wondering if this is the reason APM is not working properly. Here is what I get when I type 'apm' at the console; APM version: 1.2 APM Management: Enabled AC Line status: on-line Battery Status: charging Remaining battery life: 14% Remaining battery time: unknown Number of batteries: 1 Battery 0: Battery Status: charging Remaining battery life: 14% Remaining battery time: unknown Resume timer: unknown Resume on ring indicator: disabled If someone could point me in the direction of usefull information, that would be terrific.
