John, Roberts,

Can torsmo please be upgraded to v0.18. V0.18 allows specification of the directory name in /proc/acpi/battery. I have a Toshiba libretto & the directory name for the battery is MBAT. Torsmo v0.17 (used in DSL) only allows battery directory names of the form BAT0, BAT1,...

There will doubtless be other systems affected by this, otherwise the change would not have been made to torsmo. Without this change the battery status for ACPI is not accessible to torsmo.

I second the motion.... my Fujitsu notebook uses ACPI so that little meter doesn't do much.  

Not that I am complaining, as my notebook also has a little LCD that tells me about battery power.

Why not replace torsmo altogether with conky? Conky is actually maintained; it seems to be more configurable (not that I tried much to configure torsmo, admittedly); and I understand the program isn't that much larger than torsmo.

Don't know if conky has the same battery information feature as torsmo, which andrewb referred to, though.
