hey there,
I have got a toshiba m30x-102 with a phoenix bios for over one year now. Since I got it I'm fighting to get acpi working, namely get the battery status. the battery seems always empty to me, the applet even says it's not there at all 
anybody knows this problem or has this notebook and got a clue what to do?
cheers,
trilexx

| I haven't completed the power management configuration myself yet (in other words, I'm not speaking from experience), but did you follow the Power Management Guide? There are a bunch of things to emerge and configure to get your battery status recognized. |

Hey Trilexx,
I've got the same notebook, a Toshiba M30x-102.
And I have the same ACPI problems.
For the last few weeks I used Kpowersave and it worked pretty well for me. I could change the cpu frequency and it switched to powersave options when I run on battery.
Today the same problem appeared again. When I remove the power cable nothing happens at all. But after 1-2minutes the system shuts down because the battery seems to be empty even though it's completely loaded.
| Code: |
jens # tail -f /var/log/acpid | grep "received event"
[Wed May 31 22:35:48 2006] received event "battery BAT1 00000081 00000000"
|
There is no event when I pull the power cable.
Well, but I don't understand why there wasn't any problem yesterday. I had no
problems workin without power cable.
I hope someone has the same problem... |
