did you apply the latest acpi-patch? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36832 if yes, i wrote a little patch for wmacpi which should fix the battery issue (http://www.kodeaffe.de/wmacpi/wmacpi-patch) for wmacpi 1.34. anyway, the support for acpi for linux is quite limited. cheers, sebastian -- ::: sebastian henschel ::: kodeaffe ::: lynx -source http://www.kodeaffe.de/shensche.pub | gpg --import
