Hi Ed,

I believe that the apm_emu module is required for battery
indicator/monitoring on certain powerbooks?

It seems to be missing on latest kernels (6.3, 6.11). Can it be
enabled for our config?

Or, is there an alternative way to enable battery indicators?

GNUstep battery monitor (batmon.app) supports directly the Apple PMU.Didn't check if it is packaged on Debian though.

I didn't even know emulation of APM existed.

It has some minor shortcomings since it seems the kernel has some bogusflags, I asked about this here in the mailing list a year ago and nevergot an answer! So it can what I found though reverse engineering.
