Hi Masters,
Although I'm a newbee to linux, I can see that my laptop battery status is
not correct in default Fedora's installation (I'm using a compaq presario
1200Apr notebook). It shows as "Battery not pressent". I've tried HP
distribution of Mandrake 9.1 before and there I had the correct battery
status). Any workaround...........????????????
Thanks & Rgds,
Zammi

Hi,
me, newbie either. Fedora doesn't install with acpi automatically. So, you
need to insert in your /etc/grub.conf at the line, where you see something
like:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb
you add at the end acpi=on, so you will have something like
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb acpi=on
it didn't work for my hp xt1000 either before i did this...
cheers,
roger
