I recompiled the 6.11.2 kernel and added the apm_emu module. It does give extra compatibility with battery indicator software. xbattbar works, and although xfce4 battery plugin removed support for APM on Linux a couple of versions ago, I was able to build an older version (1.1.1) and it works perfectly with the latest xfce4, as long as apm_emu is present. So I think that the apm_emu module should be included by default in powerpc kernel builds. Is it possible to have it added to the kernel config? Thanks, Ed > > Thanks, > Ed
