Okay, so I'm suddenly having a few problems with ACPI on my Compaq Presario 2190US notebook. It's worked fine before, except for the second problem.
1. My KDE battery meter is gone. I looked for the config GUI in the KDE settings, but it's not there. I then tried kacpi, thinking it was the same thing, but it was completely different, and didn't show in the system tray. How do I get this back? It worked fine up until yesterday when it suddenly disappeared.
2. I have no control over the fan. It's always running, and is quite loud. I looked in /proc/acpi/fan, but there are no files. Is there anything I can do about this? In Windows, the fan will stop usually. In Linux, it just keeps going.
TIA,
Marc
Hi Marc,
So you're using ACPI on your notebook? I tried that too, but, then the battery indicator's gone from systray. Previously I used apmd, so I tried to run it, but it seemed that when we chose ACPI, linux erased apmd. I don't know why. Also, what is the different between ACPI and apmd? I use apmd now.
About the fan, in my Acer TM802LCi, it doesn't always run, but more often that if I'm in windows.
Fajar.

with your help I have my battery running on my compaq nx9005, my fan is controled and when i log out the notebook shuts down alone.
I checked my MCC and ACPI and ACPID are running but APMD is stopped.
If I remember the differences are depending on the type of computer (newer models use ACPI).
My guess is all is connected because my fan was running all the time before setting up the ACPI and getting the battery indicator...
Bye
Christophe
