Hallo everybodi,

on my acer aspire I installed debian sarge and it works very well, but
I cannot implement battery state on my gnome desktop...
when I run acpid o I got the following output
Obviously my acpi deamon works but I cannot perform battery state indication on my debian machine. I run kernel 2.6.15.6 and I compiled it without any problems, so how implement battery status ....small red battery on status tray...
Thank you in advance
/etc/init.d/acpid start
Loading ACPI modules:
Starting Advanced Configuration and Power Interface daemon: debian:/#

debian:/# acpi -v

add
MODULES="battery ac processor button fan thermal"
to /etc/default/acpid

I have that line already ....but the problems remains

Are those modules actually loaded?
Check with:
lsmod
if not
modprobe <missing module>
dmesg
to see if there were any errors.
