adsee-
I'm not too clued up on this apm/acpi/bios stuff,
never having had a laptop before, I never had to deal with it.
I think the results of wmbattery may be largely down to
your given bios.All I can say is what I did on a 380XD Thinkpad,
with DSL 1.1.0 (Frugal, syslinux), and dpkg -i wmbattery_1.21_i386.deb.
The binary should be in /usr/bin/wmbattery, so open a terminal
and enter that, and see what the system tells you.
I'm in the throws of spitting out a .dsl for it, it's not going to work
for everyone, and if it does, it may only do so in varying degrees.
Maybe some other knowledgeable persons out there can set me
straight on this, or if the idea is futile, or what.
So see if the .deb package works for you, and meanwhile, I'll try to
finish off the .dsl package and send it to ke4nt1.....
*edit- which I've now hastily done.*
**double edit-ke4nt1 has very kindly corrected the package-
much appreciated.
I would like to know if it works for any other machines
as I've only one laptop at my disposal**
