I agree with you when kernel version in DSL-2.2 was changed to 2.4.26 (same version with Knoppix-3.4). I was happy with it but DSL-2.2 does not support ACPI.
For this reason, I need to choose DSL-2.1RC3 (kernel-2.4.31) that it supports ACPI for my laptop. I can use wmacpi_1.99r7.dsl for battery monitoring.

If someone is a new user, I suggest downloading DSL-2.1b instead of the release candidate.

Both should work fine, though.

Thanks, cbagger01. DSL-2.1b is a better choice. I will try it today.

For the better time remaining calculating and 2 batteries support, I replaced wmacpi_1.99r7.dsl with wmbatteries. The below is .wmbatteriesrc file:-

Code Sample

#wmbatteries config file #see manpage for details #lightcolor = <string> // must be rgb:XX/XX/XX (hex) lightcolor = rgb:6E/C6/3B #temperature = <string> // name of temperature file temperature = /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature #bat0_state = <string> // name of bat0 state file bat0_state = /proc/acpi/battery/CMB1/state #bat1_state = <string> // name of bat1 state file bat1_state = /proc/acpi/battery/CMB2/state #bat0_info = <string> // name of bat0 info file bat0_info = /proc/acpi/battery/CMB1/info #bat1_info = <string> // name of bat1 info file bat1_info = /proc/acpi/battery/CMB2/info #ac_state = <string> // name of ac_adapter state file ac_state = /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state #togglespeed = <integer> // in seconds togglespeed =   5 #animationspeed = <integer> // in ms >=100 animationspeed = 150 #historysize = <integer> // >=1 <=1000 history_size = 20 #mode = <string> // [rate,temp,toggle] mode = toggle #backlight = [yes|no|true|false] backlight = no #updateinterval = <integer> // interval in seconds updateinterval = 2 #alarm = <integer> // alarm level in percent alarm = 10

Problem 1: Volume  does not work  in dMix and wMix but it works in XMMS.

Are you adjusting the WAV or PCM volume level?

Posted by hs7sv on Feb. 20 2006,01:49

Yes, I did but nothing happened. It got sound but I could not control in dMix and wMix at all.

Update: I just play around dMix. Master Volume does not work at all but PCM Wave works. I need to put PCM Wave Volume as 100% and adjust from PCM Wave 2 Volume.

Problem 2: Battery monitor in torsmo does not show anything.

Solution: My laptop is using ACPI. I put a perl script (battstate.pl) in /home/dsl and use this command:-

Code Sample

${color grey}Battery:  $color${exec perl /home/dsl/battstate.pl}

Now, torsmo can show my ACPI Battery states. It works!
