Puppy2A Live: How to monitor battery?

[slapshot]

Hi,

I'm running Puppy2A on my notebook and I would like to have a battery monitor. So I made a search on this forum and got some informations from this link:
http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=7486

wmpower seems to not work properly. I put puppy acpi=on at startup but wmpower does not see the charge state of my battery, fan ecc..

I tried modprobe ac, modprobe battery but I had always error such as:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# modprobe ac
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/ac.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/ac.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/ac.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/ac.o: insmod ac failed
sh-3.00# 

sh-3.00# modprobe battery
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/battery.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/battery.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/battery.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.31/acpi/battery.o: insmod battery failed
sh-3.00# 

So, someone can tell me how can I activate wmpower to see my battery state ?

Thanks

How did you switch on acpi? There is a note from Barry in developer news (Apr 15) that the current snapshots do not turn on acpi via the boot parm. That may be your problem.
