try "acpi=off apm"

Is this any different from using boot codes noacpi apm?

I've tried the above with no better results.

Am trying apm acpi=off

First, a good sign... for the very first time, I saw my Battery status in torsmo reported correctly. charging and 90% while plugged in, 90% now that I've unplugged.

How do I get the CPU Temp information into torsmo with apm?

I've tried the following in .torsmorc, but it didn't work:

Code Sample

${color #ddd}CPU Temp: $color ${apmtemp} degC

Found the Conky man page and didn't find anything that could help monitor temperature udner apm.

Looking for apm man page to find equivalents to /proc/acpi/thermal etc.
