Hi!

 

I suppose you are running some Mandrake distribution. Among the packages there is one named klaptop. You need to install it and the have a look in the KDE Control Center in the pages where you setup energy saving controls (that is to say what arthur posted)...

 

Gook luck! :lol:

[brancalessio]

The are to useful programs: kacpi and akpi. They monitor in a very careful way the state of the battery...

 

See you! :D

[arthur]

welcome both of you to the board!

 

KLaptop is not restricted to Mandrake...any distro with KDE can install it. I also recommend gkrellm. :D you can configure how often the battery level is checked. B) and much more...

thanks for your answer, i found the "gkrellm" but not the "klaptop" and "kacpi & akpi" in the mandrake packages .... did i need to use the cooker packages or is it because the packages are not for mandrake 10

 

thanks for your answer ...

[arthur]

Klaptop is not a separate rpm, I think it's in the package KUtils or something. But I have it installed by default in 10.0. Anyway, right-click gkrellm and you can configure the battery meter.

 

Be sure to have the module "battery" loaded. Type "lsmod" as root to see the modules. You should check for acpi too.

ok, thanks , i have the batery icon ... all the acpi is functional ... thanks to all peoples who ask to my questions

I had also a problem with KLaptop, having the icon but not functional.

Before:

lilo.conf: acpi=ht

apm on

acpi acpi(d) packaes not installed

 

So I disabled apmd from mcc, installed acpi and acpid, and chaned lilo to have:

image=/boot/vmlinuz

label="linux-acpi"

root=/dev/hda5

initrd=/boot/initrd.img

append="noapic nolapic devfs=mount acpi=on resume=/dev/hda6 splash=silent"

vga=788

read-only

 

Now KLaptop is working fine but still I see some error messages while booting so I post them here in case are needed or someone has a better ideea of what's happening.

 

Thank you :)
