I've had Gnome-2.4.x & FreeBSD-4.9Pre running on an HP XE2 laptop for sometime with no problems. I upgraded to 4.9Stable today, and noticed that the battery status applet no longer appears. I still see the "BattStatApplet" message in the Gnome2.4 splash screen when starting X, but no icon for the application appears anywhere, and no messages relevant to any failures appear in messages / security. Here's the uname info: $ uname -a FreeBSD omni.vickiandstacey.com 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #2: Mon Nov 17 00:24:01 GMT 2003 stacey@omni.vickiandstacey.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/XE2 i386 $ Here's what I've got (and always worked in the past) in /etc/rc.conf: $ grep -i apm /etc/rc.conf apm_enable="YES" $ Here's the kernel entry that I've got for APM: $ grep -i apm /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/XE2 device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management $ I'd really like to know how I can recover this functionality. If there is any information I could add, please let me know. Thanks for the time. Regards, Stacey -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com
