klaptop and ACPI

[Andrej Trobentar]

Pozdrav.

Na www.linux-on-laptops.com mojega modela ni je pa 700EA model pri katerem
pise, da ACPI ni podprt v celoti vendar, da se z gkrellm programom, da
pregledovati stanje baterije (preverjeno deluje). Ker uporabljam KDE bi
rad uporabljal tudi pripadajoci program za pregledovanje stanja baterije
in ne grellm. Na Vallhala listi glede spodaj opisanega problema nisem
dobil nobenega odgovora.
Mogoce pa mi zna kdo na tej listi pomagati? Je imel kdo mogoce podobne problem?

Za kakrsnokoli informacijo se ze vnaprej zahvaljujem.

	Andrej.

Hi Andrej:
	A great place to get information regarding laptops is the linux-laptops site
(http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/).  This problem is really not related to
KDE but more likely you could get help from the distro site (Red Hat) or a
kernel list.
	Something you may need to check for is interaction with the laptops BIOS
settings.  If the BIOS isn't set to allow ACPI, it doesn't matter what kernel
config settings are, they won't be used.

Hope this helps

Tom
