The have problems in the same area. The KDE (3.1.4) applet always tells 'battery empty' but the gauge shows the proper fill state. acpi kernel modules are installed and running. Actual state is - i have to install acpi and acpid. acpid calls /etc/acpi/default.sh with Group=button and Action=sleep if i press the sleep-button. But i am in trouble what to do now (which programs to be called fron there) to get the notebook into 'suspend to RAM' or 'suspend to disk' mode. kind regards Petric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
