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.

DSL-2.1b on Fujitsu Lifebook P5010.

Display Driver (1280x768) - 855resolution
Battery Monitoring - wmacpi_1.99r7.dsl
WLAN Driver (Centrino) - ipw2100-k2.4.31.dsl
WLAN Monitoring - wmwave

It works. Thank you very much.

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
