Batter Status without APM or ACPI



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is there a way to get battery status for a laptop/notebook computer
without using APM or ACPI?

I actually have both installed, but neither have kernel support.
However, running GKrellM earlier it showed battery status. It seemed to
be accurate. When it showed battery status around 5-10%, my power light
started flashing to indicate low battery power.

As far as I know, this occurred without APM or ACPI help. But now, it
the  battery monitor is not even showing up in the application.

Could I have somehow ran acpi or apm without knowing it?
