 |
|
At first I thought APM revision 1.2 was not supported under Linux, but after reading about some people's adventures in installing Linux on their laptops I found that some of them were running 1.2. Now, I'm having trouble with my laptop, on dmesg I get:
| Code: |
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16)
|
but when I cat /proc/apm, I get an oddity:
| Code: |
1.16 1.2 0x03 0x01 0xff 0x80 -1% -1 ?
|
1.16 being the drive version, 1.2 being the APM BIOS version, but then when it is supposed to say 100% battery it says -1%, and time left on battery says -1. Any ideas?

did the powercord get stuck in the laptop?
Prolly -1% is when the laptop isn't on batterypower.

It should say 100% with power cord in.. I read more about the various parts of /proc/apm and it seems that when its a desktop it will read -1% -1, so I'm assuming my hardware just isn't supported. :\

Of course.
apm --monitor returns:
AC: on-line
Battery: -1% (unknown)
And nothing happens when I take out the AC plug.

A silly question, do your kernel have APM enabled?
