Battery monitor applet fails[solved]

[Davy Obdam]

Hi Robert,

I have solved the problem. I found out that my laptop didnt support apm,
but acpi. The service was acpid was already running in runlevel 3 ,5. I
added acp=on to my grub.conf at the bootline, everything works fine now.

Best regards,

Davy
