I've got acpi and cpufreq working well on my thoshiba m200 laptop. My battery info can be seen found here:

battery type: Li-ION
OEM info:
mobile_tux ~ # cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state

But gnome-power-manger always thinks my laptop is plugged in. It doesn't even list battery options under properties. Any ideas?

gnome-power-manager for Gentoo can be a pain in the a** sometimes. Try a Fedora Core, Ubuntu, etc, LiveCD and see if it works with any of them.

| don't have a cd drive in my laptop and no desktop to do a network boot around currently.. do you know where gnome-power-manager reads the battery info from? maybe I just need to redirect it |

ah didn't realize that. a simple "/etc/init.d/hald start" did the trick!  |
