Does synaptic not have this? also install acpi module (acpid).

i have uninstalled mepis from my laptop coz it was heating up and did not detect all my hardware but i will reinstall it this week coz i like debian linux more than othere distro's

kpowersave and acpi and acpid will all be in synaptic. It will also help with freq scaling if your compter chip allows that.

A BIOS update is likely to help. Check the Acer web site

there is no BIOS update for my laptop i have looked for it in the site before .

i think you are right . . but acer did not do it so someone told me that i have to use a kernel that's made to do the job anyway i looked at that time and i did not find one

but with the new ubuntu the power monitor works very nicely

thanks again
