Hello

After upgrading to 5.1 the gnome battstat applet complains about not enabled
APM. Obviously it does not support ACPI. Does anyone know a battery monitor
for use within Gnome or X that does support ACPI in 5.x?

Looking at the other applets referenced on gnome.org and at xbatt, xbattbar
it seems they all support only APM for now.

BTW: altough battstat applet complains about APM not being enabled, it still
provides information about battery status, which works as apm displays
information even if APM is disabled. But I don't know how accurate it is.

Regards
Markus
