Re: Laptop battery
Hi,
This should be possible via APM or ACPI. In the latter case make sure
you have flashed the latest BIOS and have enabled ACPI in BIOS setup. In
the first case, make sure you have enabled APM in BIOS setup.
In any case, you may have to recompile the kernel to enable ACPI and/or
APM.
