I don't have it... This is the message written:
Your computer doesn't have the Linux APM (Advanced Power Management) or ACPI software installed, or doesn't have the APM kernel drivers installed - check out the Linux Laptop-HOWTO document for information on how to install APM.
when I click on the linux Laptop Howto I get a error message... I will try with google. Bye Christophe

Hello,
That's now the second time that my notebook shuts down
because I'm not able to see the level of my battery. Good
thing I didn't have to start all over because I saved my
work a few minutes before. Is there a way to have the
battery indicator under MDK 9.2? (by the way I think the
battery goes faster then with XP...??) Also when I'm
working the fan is running more often then with XP. Is
there something to modify? Thanks
Christophe
ps: I have a Compaq nx9005
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
