arthur Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 can or can't? recompile a kernel? not so fast...can you post more info about your problem please? starting with the output from lsmod, that might show something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvachez Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 can't of course ! The problem is that the program with the battery level can't find APM support. So I have a link (HOWTO) to solve the problem. In this link it says I must recompile the kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 recompile? if you want to...my suggestion is, go into terminal, su to root, then: service apmd start but in my opinion ACPI is better than APM. what laptop are you using? if it's quite new then you could use acpi. here's how: Mandrake Control Center >>system>>services then select acpid as "on boot", and start it up. deselect apmd and/or stop it. then reboot...just kidding :D :lol: just re-login.
