Hello I recently upgraded my thinkpad R32 from 5.4 to 6.0 (new hard drive for the new OS). I compiled my kernel with ACPI for power management, which works pretty well for most things. I even got the battery monitor in KDE working correctly, which makes me somewhat proud of myself :) However, my problem is this: when the battery gets to less than 10 minutes run time remaining, X is killed without warning. I'll get a little popup window next to the battery telling me that I have that much battery remaining, and then before I can plug in all my windows are going away and next thing I know I'm back at the console. I don't remember having had this problem in 5.4. I thought 5.4 would let me damn near run the system battery down to nothing in X. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is a setting from BSD, X, or KDE? I don't see anything useful reported in /var/log/messges, either. I did check my power settings in KDE, and I have it configured to do nothing for low battery. So I don't think its there... thanks, Lee _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
