Just got Mandrake 9.1 installed on my laptop. acpi comes with the
distribution, so I was hoping to get my laptop working with power
management. But it seems a bit more needs to be done. I've gotten acpi
and acpid up and running, but nothing seems to be happening. Anyone
have any experience with this? The main thing I want working is the
battery monitor, hopefully even have it work with gkrellm.
Here's some info in case it helps:
Laptop is a Compaq Presario 2710us
#cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: no
#cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state
present: no
#acpi -V
No support for device type: thermal
AC Adapter 1: on-line
#acpi -s
Battery 1: slot empty
Battery 2: slot empty
I've tried unplugging the ac adapter and running off the battery for a
while, but the only thing that changed was that the "acpi -V" command
changed the adapter status to "off-line". Taking the battery out didn't
change anything.
Many thanks for any help.
