Hey,
The guy in the IT support in my university didn't really know how to resolve the problem, so I think that this one is a toughie
I can't get my powermeter working on mandrake10 neither with APM nor ACPI
I found this HOWTO
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ticle&artid=43
It's about
Mandrake and Compaq Presario Notebook

FEATURE: Recompiling the kernel for Compaq Presario 7xx Notebooks ACPI solution
Posted on Monday, September 1st @ 12:04 by PCLinux (Netherlands)
This seems to be like the HOWTO that I need, but:
My notebook is Compaq Presario 1205 EA, not 7xx
Do you think I should still follow the steps outlined in the HOWTO?
If so:
1. Do I need to install ACPI first (I have deleted it already)
2. What is a Mandrake cooker and how do I open it?
3. Should I install "kernel-source 2.6.3-4mdk"
or "2.4.25-2mdk"
- - both of them are available on my installation CDs
The rest of the HOWTO seemed alright.
Please forgive my ignorance and have patience in writing out everything I need to do.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Grisha.
