Maybe you should use battstat which works fine on my iBook, and can

The GNOME battery monitor applet does that as well.
Oh, yes it does... I guess the fact that battstat is prettier (and
that's pretty easy) has got me into overlooking Nat's fine piece of
software ;)
Talking of which, would a libapm for ppc which supports both /proc/apm
(or proc/pmu whichever) and the use of pmud to read battery stats be
interesting for people on this list ?
I have already written both codes, and would just need to glue the code
together (with a clever algorithm to lookup which one we want to use at
run-time).
Michael Schmitz ? If interest is shown in it, would that be possible to
get it into a pmud-dev package or something alike ?
Because I reckon that if apmd doesn't get built anymore on ppc, we might
run into some packages not compiling because libapm is missing (maybe
the gnome and kde battery monitors that rely on an apm.h)
Any thoughts ?
Cheers
