wakeboarderal05 Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have tried several times to put the battery monitor on a panel, but when I do that, my mouse goes crazy. If I touch it at all, it goes to the top-right corner and is almost impossible to deal with. Does anyone know what to do about it? I also have a USB mouse, but that doesn't work either when the battery gauge is up. Both my track-point and my USB mouse work fine otherwise, so I don't think it's a problem with that.

liquidzoo Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 KDE or GNOME? I haven't had the battery monitor on my laptop in a very long time. I prefer to use the gDesklets version. Works great for me. I modified it a bit, but you can see what it looks like in this screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeboarderal05 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Does anyone have any idea what to do? Has anyone run across this problem before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 it's a very strange problem...i can't even think of a reason that this would happen, to tell you the truth...what kind of laptop is this occuring on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 You know.. I am kinda surprised that battery monitor works in Mandrake 9.1. I though ACPI (the one that control battery monitor among other things) only works properly from Mandrake 9.2 upward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeboarderal05 Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I'm on a ThinkPad with a Pentium III 1.13GHz processor I know it's weird, but my friend has the same problem (same kind of laptop) using the same distribution, so I know it's not just a fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 go mandrake control center then go to services -- Find out the status of ACPI and APM, whether they are running and whether they run on boot. Then run lsmod and post the output Or if you are 100% sure that you are using APM or ACPI, let us know, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
