OK, I understand, thanks. I've been thinking a bit more about this problem and in order to query power management on the laptop then I will need apm support in the kernel. I've had a look at the wireless kernel and I don't think that it has apm support so my intention now is to recompile the kernel to include apm support.
Can I download a .config for the 2.4.19-ltsp-1 kernel from anywhere as that will make the recompilation a whole lot easier :-) David Howdle OPSM Group Systems Support Sydney Australia (02) 9334 2666 0419 626 794 >>> David Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/14/04 12:31 PM >>> On Tue, 2004-04-13 at 02:19, David Howdle wrote: > Thanks for this response David, but I'm not sure it answers my query. > > If I have a laptop connecting to a LTSP server then I can't see a way to > monitor the condition of the battery in the laptop.
