Christophe, I'm only running 9.1, so I'm not sure how relevant it is to your situation. I have the battery indicator on mine. I'm running KDE and found you can set it this way: Click the K menu Click Configuration Click KDE Click PowerControl Click Laptop Battery You should see a check box for "Show Battery Monitor." Make sure it's set. You may want to look for something similar. As for life in XP vs, Linux, I don't see much battery life difference between the two on my laptop. Perhaps it has somehting to do with power settings in each? XP may have a more conservative power use profile. Just some thoughts Mark
