all battery monitoring functions broken
Hi All,
I use my laptop as a part of my lab so I rebuild it frequently. Well,
the last install I did from the Etch installer completely broke all
battery/power monitoring support.
I was looking around for packages other than Battstat and installed
wmbattery. I tried starting it from the Gnome menu system and it didn't
respond so I tried starting it from a bash prompt. I received an error
saying my kernel didn't support APM, ACPI, or SPCI. What's up with
that? dmesg reports no ACPI errors other than an exception for
acpi_thermal-0412.
Anyone know what's going on here? The day I downloaded the installer
was on the 9th of this month so I'm assuming this was the build for that
day.
