(I've all the modules > about acpi loaded) I use Gnome 2 too, and that applet doesn't work properly without a patch for acpi. I think I saw a patch for it recently on debian-devel, you might search the archives. > paladine:~# acpi -V > No support for device type: thermal > AC Adapter 1: on-line > > (when I ran the command the AC there wasn't connected) I know when I was using ACPI I compilled it directly into the kernel. At any rate, your output above can only mean one of two things: 1) missing ACPI module somewhere 2) Your laptop is not 100% ACPI compliant/compatible. I have the Compaq Presario 720CA which is pretty much the same as your model (in fact the Compaq support web site often puts the presario 700 series and your series together for patches). I haven't had too many troubles with ACPI. -- .''`. Carl B.
